Cairo, Egypt — Metal Blast Festival is celebrating 15 years since its launch in 2011, marking a major milestone in the journey of one of Egypt’s longest-running metal and heavy music platforms. As part of this anniversary, Metal Blast announces a new direction for the coming period. The festival will no longer be limited to a single annual event. Instead, it will introduce multiple smaller-scale events throughout the year, aimed at supporting emerging bands, new talent, and the local underground scene, alongside one main large-scale festival, which will remain the flagship Metal Blast event each year.
In addition, Metal Blast is bringing back its educational musical workshops, reaffirming its commitment to giving back to the community and supporting the growth of the metal and alternative music scene.
The 15-year anniversary also marks the beginning of a new branding phase for Metal Blast. Updated visuals, anniversary identity, event dates, and lineup announcements will be revealed gradually later this year.
More details and further announcements will follow soon.
