Kaltenbach Open Air 2025
Spital am SemmeringThe legendary Kaltenbach Open Air – Austria's most renowned Extreme Metal Festival – is entering its 18th round. Just like in previous years, the event will take place in the Styrian municipality of Spital am Semmering. Against the unique backdrop of the Kaltenbach Gorge, metal fans from near and far will once again create a great atmosphere for three days.
But it’s not just because of its location that the Kaltenbach Open Air enjoys ever-growing popularity; rather, the event annually impresses with a high-profile lineup. Whether it’s international heavyweights or interesting newcomers, from August 21 to 23, 2025, the bands will make the gorge tremble and celebrate the festival weekend with you in style.
Be there when it’s once again time: the metal mountain calls!
