Mgła bring Polish black metal back to Schlotheim. Since their formation in 2000, the band have developed a sound of their own, shaped hypnotic melodies and a consistently dark atmosphere. Albums such as “Exercises in Futility” and “Age of Excuse” are prime examples of this style, which translates into an equally intense and direct live performance. At Party.San Metal Open Air 2027, Mgła will bring that sound back to our stage.

Few death metal bands combine technical precision and sheer brutality with ancient Egyptian history and mythology quite like Nile. Since the early 90s, Karl Sanders and his bandmates have turned these ingredients into a sound unmistakably their own, ranging from fast riffs and complex structures to Middle Eastern-inspired melodies and monumental atmospheres. Get ready for a proper dose of technical death metal from South Carolina at Party.San Metal Open Air 2027!

When Taake return to the Party.San stage in 2027, eleven years will have passed since their last appearance here - definitely time for a reunion.

More than three decades into their history, their music still combines raw heaviness, distinctive melodies and Hoest’s unmistakable musical signature. If you caught Taake here last time, you’ve waited long enough for another round!
