Small-scale metal at an equestrian centre: your tent with a view of the Alps, and the stage just a few steps away.
- A secret gig every year
- A wall to leave your mark on
- Car next to the tent
It takes place on the paddocks of an equestrian centre just outside Bad Wörishofen, and it stays small: there are only 999 tickets for 2027. In 2024 it was still an indoor festival in Kaufbeuren; since 2025 it has been outdoors and growing. In 2026, scene names like Lacrimas Profundere and Dust Bolt shared the bill with bands from Spain, Italy and the USA; Musikverein Stockheim opened the free Wednesday.
The real thing happens off stage: bands party along in the crowd and afterwards pose for photos with fans around the site. When one band was missing its drummer in 2026, guests got to go on stage as air drummers. Guests call it family-like and made with heart; anyone who pointed out problems in 2025 often saw them fixed the next day.

Check first
- Children under seven aren't allowed on the concert area, 16- and 17-year-olds without parents or an authorised guardian have to leave at midnight, and quiet hours start at one. From the station you walk half an hour, there's no shuttle, camping costs extra, and there are no cash machines on site.
Right for you
- For a crew that wants metal without the crush, with bands you can just walk up and talk to and people you'll see again the following year. It also works as your very first metal festival.
