The music scene around the world is a difficult place right now: prices are shooting up, income is being squeezed and sometimes it feels like innovation is stagnating. However there’s always someone that is willing to put themselves on the line to make sure that the music scenes around the world remain alive and interesting.
In the year of 2025, this introduces a new metal festival in the beautiful city of Maastricht, located at the convergence of several European countries and at the foot of the Netherlands.
Behold, an absolutely stacked line up with even more to show!
This festival playing in Gashouder, Maastricht is going to be a weekend of incredibly heavy music and we cannot contain our excitement for getting along to this.
But I mentioned there’s more right? For those who fancy it, there’s a pre-show of sorts with its own stacked lineup and headed up by none other than pagan re-enactment and fascinating experience of Heilung.
So what a weekend eh? You know it makes sense right?
For those of you who may be based a bit further out and fancy getting along to this incredible show, there are a few airports you can fly to and get to Maastricht fairly easily from. These include:
- Amsterdam Schiphol -train to Amsterdam Centraal and then a direct train to Maastricht;
- Eindhoven Airport – train to Eindhoven Centraal and then a direct train to Maastricht;
- Cologne-Bonn Airport – train to Cologne Central, train to Aachen, train to Maastricht; or
- Brussels Airport – train to Hasselt, then bus to Maastricht
Tickets for the main weekend and the Heilung show are on sale now.
