Something was missing in the metal festival calendar – the summer of 2024 was far too quiet in Graz. But turn it up to eleven as Metal On The Hill - the brainchild of Napalm Records/Events and Grazer Spielstädten returns after a one-year break in the most popular open-air venue in Graz, the Schlossberg Stage Kasematten.

Metal On The Hill has established itself as a permanent fixture on the international festival scene renowned for its exclusive and boutique character, high-calibre acts, and the most beautiful festival location in Austria.

On 30 August 2025, national and international genre greats will celebrate a memorable metal party with the fans in the metal capital of Austria.

With today's announcement, 150 strictly limited BLIND TICKETS are already available at a reduced price. As soon as these are sold out, 150 strictly limited EARLY BIRD tickets will be available in the next price category. After that, tickets will go on sale at the regular price. The first bands will be released in October.

Once again, the festival will take place on Austria's most stunning stage: the historic Kasematten. Back in the first third of the 20th century, a stage was built within the old walls of the former fortifications, complete with a spacious auditorium that is particularly characteristic of Graz.

The intimate and romantic atmosphere is particularly popular for open-air events during the warmer months of the year. A retractable roof provides protection in changeable weather conditions. Link
