Hellsinki Metal Festival 2026

Now in its fourth edition, Hellsinki Metal Festival returns to the Helsinki Ice Hall for two days of heavy music in the heart of the capital. The festival has grown into one of Finland’s premier metal events, drawing 16,000 visitors in 2025.

The 2026 headliners are a formidable bunch: Swedish prog-metal legends Opeth, German heavy metal veterans Accept, Zakk Wylde’s Black Label Society, British doom icons Paradise Lost, and the ferocious Carcass. A special highlight comes in the form of Triptykon performing Celtic Frost, a rare and unmissable live experience for any serious metal fan.
