The Mystic Festival 2020 lineup just keeps getting heavier: check out the latest acts joining the roster of the Mystic Festival’s second post-resurrection edition! Whether you’re into old-school metal sounds, extreme death metal, or get your kicks at the extreme and folk edges of metal, organisers have you covered.

NIGHTWISH: What else is there to say? Just let yourself get sucked into their dark fantasy world and carried away on the symphonic winds of their musical vision. The legendary Judas Priest is already on the poster, so today’s addition of ACCEPT, another pioneer of European heavy metal, should come as no surprise to fans of old-school metal.

HEILUNG might only be metal in spirit, but they’re a perfect fit for our festival. With its copious use of ancient Nordic myths and rituals, this is one performance you’re never going to forget—that is, if you can wake up from HEILUNG’s neo-folk trance.

More than just a legend of Polish metal, VADER is among the most consistent and prolific death-metal bands in the world. A new LP is slated for release in 2020, but Vader is coming to Krakow with a special program: a 25th-anniversary performance of the album De Profundis in its entirety. And for anyone craving a more American approach to death metal, we’ve got a must-see lecture by the professors of the genre, who are flying in from Florida to present their cult debut record Slowly We Rot. That’s right: OBITUARY is coming to Krakow to tear your guts out.

And how about some melodic, shamelessly catchy heavy metal? Don’t miss BEAST IN BLACK. The title of their latest album, From Hell with Love, tells you everything you need to know about this Finnish act. What about something different, something modern, mind-bending and mold-breaking? Say hello to Moldova’s INFECTED RAIN, featuring the charismatic Lena Scissorhands on vocals.

One-day tickets for Mystic Festival 2020 go on sale Tuesday, October 15th.
