It may be Halloween but there’s nothing frightening about the latest announcement around the 10th anniversary celebration of Holland’s Dynamo Metal Fest – apart from how scarily good it is \m/

Heading today’s second declaration, the first bands to be confirmed for the event’s Friday night are the mighty Mastodon, the ferocious Fear Factory and the ever powerful Paradise Lost.

Joining already announced homeland heroes Within Temptation will be Ministry, Conjurer, Wraith and Phantom Elite, while Kublai Khan TX, Ne Obliviscaris, Terrifier and Pothamus will be among those backing up Gojira on the closing Sunday session, with more bands – including possibly two potential co-headliners – to be announced this side of Christmas.

  • Tickets for the 2025 iteration, which takes place over the weekend of 15-17 August, are on sale now.
