Fear Factory, pioneers of the industrial metal scene, will bring their machine-like precision and innovative sound to the festival. With albums that have shaped the genre, like "Demanufacture" and "Obsolete," their performance is set to be a high-intensity journey through tight riffs and sci-fi themed narratives.

Jinjer, the Ukrainian metal act, has been a rising star in the metalcore scene, known for their progressive approach and the dynamic presence of lead vocalist Tatiana Shmailyuk. Their songs often weave complex rhythms with melodic and aggressive elements, making their live shows a captivating experience.

Delain, the Dutch symphonic metal band, offers a blend of powerful melodies and lush orchestration. Since their resurgence as an independent band, Delain has continued to enchant fans with their emotive music and engaging performances.
