About Volcanic Fest

A musical eruption born of passion
Volcanic Fest was born from the vision of a musician and a team of experienced festival-goers, driven by the association Teamduc's Production. Artistically directed by Le Mago, singer of the band Magoyond, and managed by Samaël as festival director, this project embodies a "musical and human eruption" dedicated to the emerging rock and metal scene. The choice of Andrézieux-Bouthéon, near Saint-Étienne and in the heart of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, anchors the festival in a territory rich in volcanic and industrial history.
A 100% French-speaking lineup on a single stage
Volcanic Fest takes the bold gamble of an entirely French-speaking lineup, bringing together over 30 bands from all over France and Europe on a single stage. The day highlights emerging bands, while the evenings feature confirmed headliners. The musical selection, eclectic and carefully curated, covers a wide spectrum from classic heavy to progressive metal, including pagan folk, alternative rock, and more experimental sounds. Among the headliners of the first edition: Klone, Black Bomb A, Eihwar, Magoyond, Naheulband, Silver Dust, and Emerald Moon.
A small-scale musical and human village
With a deliberately limited capacity of between 750 and 1,200 people, Volcanic Fest fosters proximity between artists and the audience. The site hosts an artisan village from the metal and alternative universe, featuring about forty exhibitors: tattoo artists, piercers, creators, and other partner festivals. Food and drink, prepared on-site using local and regional products, prioritize short supply chains. Game stands, friendly challenges between festival-goers, and shaded relaxation areas complete the offering to create a friendly and warm atmosphere.
Solidarity and cultural commitment
Volcanic Fest upholds strong values of solidarity and sharing. Sunday is dedicated to local associations, notably Une Rose Un Espoir and the Ligue contre le Cancer, which support children facing illness or disability. Conferences hosted by the Fédération des Musiques Métalliques enrich the program by exploring metal culture, its values, and its players in France. The festival is part of a cultural and territorial dynamic driven by Teamduc's Production, with a commitment to innovation, responsibility, and the promotion of local initiatives.
