Tyrant Fest

Tyrant Fest: Metal at the Heart of Mining Heritage

Tyrant Fest is an independent metal festival created in 2018 that takes place at the Métaphone, a contemporary music venue located on the 9-9bis site in Oignies. This site, a former mining pit converted into a cultural hub, is one of the five major sites of the Mining Basin classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

A Refined and International Lineup

Tyrant Fest stands out with its demanding and refined lineup, covering a wide spectrum of metal: post-metal, atmospheric black metal, doom, progressive metal, sludge, and avant-garde. The festival invites bands from all over Europe and beyond, offering a showcase for groups that combine technical virtuosity with artistic research.

Two Days, Two Venues

The festival unfolds over two days, with concerts at the Métaphone in Oignies on the first day and at the Aéronef in Lille on the second. This original format allows festival-goers to experience two distinct atmospheres in two renowned venues in the region.

A Unique Heritage Setting

The Métaphone, designed by architect Héloïse Labbé, is a building with an interactive and sound facade, located in the heart of the 9-9bis mining site. This unique venue offers a spectacular setting for metal concerts, blending industrial heritage with contemporary creation.
