European metal concert announcements

In July 2026, several European metal events released new ticketing information. Metallica’s M72 World Tour added two sold‑out shows in Frankfurt’s Deutsche Bank Park for 22 and 24 May 2026, with organisers warning fans against secondary‑market purchases and noting limited accessibility. The same week, Czech power‑metal group HELLOWEEN announced a July 2027 concert in Pilsen to mark its 40‑year anniversary, which will open the 2027 METALFEST OPEN AIR festival. Tickets for both the HELLOWEEN show and the festival are slated for sale on 24 July 2026.

Later in the month, the German Metalacker Festival confirmed its 2026 edition as sold out and launched a ticket‑giveaway to satisfy demand, highlighting a lineup that includes Dark Tranquillity, Brothers of Metal, Fiddler’s Green and other acts. The announcement also referenced the Euroblast Festival, scheduled for 25‑27 September 2023 in Cologne, listing its headliners and supporting artists. Together, the snapshots illustrate a wave of announcements for major metal concerts and festivals across Germany and the Czech Republic, emphasizing sold‑out status, upcoming ticket sales and promotional offers.
