Cerb3re Reims Metal Fest

Cerb3re Reims Metal Fest: Metal Roars in the City of Kings

Born in 2025 from the passion of the association Lez Arts Aki, the Cerb3re Reims Metal Fest is a festival that celebrates metal music in all its forms. Its name, inspired by the mythological Cerberus — the three-headed dog guarding the Underworld — sets the tone: three days, three venues, three faces of metal for a total musical experience.

An Intense Musical Triptych

The festival unfolds over three evenings in three different venues in Reims:

• Le Lieu: first evening in an intimate and underground atmosphere
• La Cartonnerie (SMAC): main evening in Reims' reference contemporary music venue
• La Petite Halle: festival closing in a rock and friendly atmosphere

A Program Exploring All Metal Subgenres

The Cerb3re Reims Metal Fest features a diversity of metal subgenres to satisfy all fans of extreme music:

• Les Tambours du Bronx - Percussive industrial metal
• Benighted - Brutal death metal
• Knuckle Head - Dark country / Stoner rock
• Akiavel - Death metal
• Northern Lights - Newcore
• Deathawaits, Inward, Survival Zero and other bands

Driven by the Local Metal Scene

The festival is organized by the association Lez Arts Aki (REMCA - LIC. LR-21-4390), a committed player in the Champagne metal and rock scene. The support of La Cartonnerie, Reims' SMAC, demonstrates the festival's integration into the region's contemporary music ecosystem.
