IoMP 161: The Biggest Metal Festivals in the World
If you've ever dreamed of seeing thousands of metalheads gathered in one place for the ultimate celebration of heavy music, this episode is for you.
Collin and Tom dive into some of the biggest metal festivals across Canada, Europe and beyond, discussing legendary events like Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, Bloodstock, Maryland Deathfest, Mystic Festival, and the metal cruise 70,000 Tons of Metal. They also shine a spotlight on Canadian festivals that deserve more attention, including Loud As Hell and the emerging ProgStorm Festival.
Along the way, they compare lineups, talk about which festivals belong on every metalhead's bucket list, debate surprising headliners, and somehow end up discussing Renaissance Fairs, Fairly OddParents, and plenty of random nonsense.
Whether you're looking for your first metal festival or planning an overseas pilgrimage, this episode is packed with recommendations, laughs, and enough festival hype to make you want to book a ticket immediately.
