Due to the consequences of the pandemic, MetalDays 2021 is canceled.
As of now Slovenian Government has not provided any sufficient information if larger events will be allowed or not in Slovenia this summer. At the moment, gatherings to 50 people only are allowed, and this left us with no better option.
Even though we are sorry, it is a relief to be able to provide a clarification to everyone who has been waiting for it. We’ll roll up our sleeves and start all over now.
MetalDays has gone through many ups and downs and have always managed to provide the right answers, thanks to the honest and flexible approach.
Covid is the greatest challenge of our recent history, but as always our goal is to fight all the obstacles, and to send a positive message of hope to all our visitors, bands, friends, fellow festivals and our crew!
And the most positive message we can send is pretty simple: MetalDays will survive and will happen again year after year!
We thank every one of you for your patience while we held our line until the last possible moment to make an informed decision.
We would also like to thank all the bands who did put themselves forward and we know that they all share our regret and frustration at the situation.

MetalDays 2022 is planned to happen in Tolmin, at the same location, and at the same size and setup.

2022 Dates
Considering the vaccination process at the moment, we can be positive that MetalDays 2022 will take place between 24-30 July 2022.
In the unlikely case of having to postpone the event due to a sudden change of the Covid situation across Europe, we will give you additional informations.
Lineup 2022
It will be revealed at some later point. It seems like most of you would like us to repeat the lineup of 2021, and we will keep this in mind.
Anyway, many bands from the 2021 lineup are not available for 2022, so there will be definitely some changes.
