Mennecy Metal Fest
The essential metal festival of Île-de-France at Parc de Villeroy
About MMF
Mennecy Metal Fest: The Temple of Essonne Metal
Founded in 2012 by extreme music enthusiasts, Mennecy Metal Fest has established itself in less than fifteen years as the leading showcase for metal in Île-de-France. Organized every early September in the magnificent Parc de Villeroy in Mennecy, the festival benefits from a unique open-air setting that delightfully contrasts with the sonic brutality of the performances.
A Natural Setting for Extreme Music
The Parc de Villeroy, a classified historic estate on the outskirts of Mennecy, offers the festival a remarkable natural setting. Its shaded lawns, tree-lined paths, and vast spaces can accommodate several thousand festival-goers in good conditions, with a main stage and a secondary stage, a food court, merchandising stands, and a camping area. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, true to the spirit of the French metal community.
A Lineup Covering the Entire Metal Spectrum
Mennecy Metal Fest stands out for the diversity and quality of its lineup. Across more than 30 bands in 3 days, you'll find everything from classic heavy metal to thrash, death, black, folk metal, metalcore, power metal, and even electronic incursions at the genre's borders. The festival has hosted big names like Blind Guardian, Mass Hysteria, Loudblast, Ensiferum, Dagoba, Carpenter Brut, and many other French and international acts.
A Community Festival
Beyond the music, Mennecy Metal Fest cultivates a strong sense of community. The numerous and motivated volunteers ensure the smooth organization of the event each year. The festival favors accessible prices so that metal remains a celebration open to all, and welcomes veterans of the genre and newcomers discovering the joys of headbanging with equal enthusiasm.
