Today the Tolminator Metal Fest announces a new wave of bands for the Tolminator Festival 2025! Newcomers include Me And That Man, Villagers Of Ioannina City, Midnight, Psycroptic, High Parasite and Mimi Barks.

In addition, next year there will be numerous other top-class acts on board, including Ministry, Kataklysm, Rotting Christ, Rivers Of Nihil, Oranssi Pazuzu, Wolfbrigade, D.R.I., Warbringer, Angelus Apatrida and Ahab.

Tolmin, Slovenia, is known for its breathtaking mountain landscapes, the breathtaking Soča River, its tree-lined campsites, Mediterranean weather and, moreover, for its great heavy events, complete with endless swinging of the hair to selected metal in the (evening) sunshine…

This is exactly where the Tolminator Festival first set out two years ago to raise the good tradition of high-quality metal festivals in a real holiday atmosphere in Tolmin to a new, family-friendly level. By lovers for lovers!

Not looking back, not driven by nostalgia, but looking forward, a new festival has been created with its own touch and a deep black, uncompromising musical soul, which always keeps the needs of the visitors, metal fans from many corners of the world, firmly in mind. Limited to just 5,000 visitors, the Tolminator crew took off and was able to combine the positive elements of music and untouched nature with the necessary tact.

Check out the 2024 aftermovie to get a feel for why you should definitely be on board next summer and why many enthusiastic visitors have already stocked up on tickets on site!

TOLMINATOR 2024 - Highlights
Fans of harder sounds will be treated to the following top-class acts as part of Tolminator III:

Led by Al Jourgensen, Ministry will storm the festival stage next year and let you share in their rousing sound, which has made them one of the greatest in the genre for decades. Deep from cold Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Kataklysm are coming to Tolmin and will once again prove that they live up to their reputation as one of the most brutal and powerful heavy metal bands of our time. The "crossover thrash" pioneers D.R.I., with over 40 years of successful history and ultimately also to be experienced live at Tolminator!
