Apocalypse Metal Fest

Apocalypse Metal Fest IV — Napalm Death and Septicflesh in Le Havre

The 4th edition of Apocalypse Metal Fest took place on November 22, 2025, at Le Tetris in Le Havre, marking a turning point in the festival's history with two international legends of extreme metal as headliners.

Napalm Death, British pioneers of grindcore since 1981, and Septicflesh, Greek masters of symphonic death metal, set the stage at Le Tetris ablaze alongside Primal Age, Dali, and Fatal. This edition confirmed the festival's national and international ambition, expanding from a regional scene to a much broader reach.

Prior to the festival, Le Tremplin Apocalypse took place on September 26 and 27, 2025, at the Halle du Fort de Tourneville, allowing emerging bands from the French metal scene to earn a spot on the Apocalypse Metal Fest stage.
