SOUTH OF HEAVEN Open Air announce complete line-up

After a successful premiere in 2025, the South of Heaven Festival in Maastricht will return next year. On June 6 and 7, 2026, the city will once again become a meeting place for metal fans from all over Europe.

The festival near the German/Dutch border has now announced its complete lineup. But that’s not all: three new band announcements will make up a third festival day. Instead of Saturday and Sunday as in 2025, there will also be a shortened festival day on Friday in 2026.

The festival is organized by Muziekgiterij Maastricht in collaboration with Doomstar Bookings. The first edition in June 2025 generated huge excitement with performances by In Flames and Meshuggah, immediately establishing the event as a fixture in the European metal calendar.

With its second edition, the South of Heaven Festival continues its commitment to presenting a diverse and high-caliber program ranging from international headliners to up-and-coming acts.
