The outlines of the fourth edition of Heavy Weekend is taking shape, as the festival team reveals the first three names on the bill in 2027. Go to the official website to access the ticket office.
On June 4, Helloween will hold the top of the bill. After celebrating the 40th anniversary of their formation at the Zénith de Paris in 2025 and at Hellfest this year, the pioneers of German power metal will continue their anniversary tour, alternating classics from their prolific career and extracts from Giants & Monsterstheir latest album to date.
In a completely different aesthetic, Falling In Reverse will be present on June 5. After releasing the album Popular Monster in 2025, the American metalcore group will continue to promote it, without forgetting to include new tracks, such as “Joseph,” noted by the presence of Corey Taylor (Slipknot) and Serj Tankian (System of a Down).
Marilyn Manson will come to the Nancy stage on June 6, the last day of the festival. With a new studio album, One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2the American artist will mix new works and classics that have made him successful.
THE Heavy Weekend has yet to announce nine groups and artists, which will be done in the coming weeks. Launched in 2024, the event is set up from the start at the Zénith in Nancy and offers an atypical format in the landscape of French festivals, with four groups per day. “It’s a response to a whole bunch of comments from people who complain about not being able to see everything at a single festival,” explains Matthieu Drouot in an interview given to the editorial staff in our 2024 metal special issue.
Thus, the festival has been able to welcome over the course of its editions illustrious artists such as Megadeth And Judas Priest in 2024, Slipknot And Saxon in 2025 or even Gojira And Electric Callboy This year.
