The 14th edition of COPENHELL will take place in familiar surroundings at Refshaleøen in central Copenhagen next summer. DREAM THEATER, IN FLAMES, LORNA SHORE, HEAVEN SHALL BURN, SODOM, SYLOSIS, MYRKUR, MNEMIC and 18 additional bands have already signed up for the festival.
The dust from the four wild and crazy days in the middle of June has settled long ago, but the entire COPENHELL team is still swelling with pride months after the festival – not least festival director Jeppe Nissen:

Drowning Pool, the iconic heavy metal band known for their electrifying performances and chart-topping hits, is thrilled to announce the release of their highly anticipated new single “REVOLUTION (The Final Amen)” via SBG Records. This release marks a significant moment for the band, as it is their first release with vocalist Ryan McCombs in 13 years!
Uriah Heep are set to announce a series of final tour dates around the World starting next year. The band are proud to announce the February 2025 UK leg of The Magician’s Farewell tour. The 7 date UK tour is a celebration of one of the most important British rock acts of all time.
Mick Box says,“Who can believe next year is 55 years since the band started? And I know many of you have been with us since the beginning.Well, none of us are getting younger so unfortunately we have made the decision to wind down touring the World starting next year.
Under the very apt title of “The Magician’s Farewell” we will start our final journey on the road.This isn’t going to be one of those long, dragged out goodbyes but we do intend over the next 2-3 years to play as many places possible and see you all for one last time. I want to reiterate that the band will continue to play shows as long as we can after we are done touring but these will be limited to one off festival type events and the like.
On behalf of the band and myself I want to thank you all for the continued support you have always given us and it means so much to us.Look forward to seeing you all again very soon … ‘Appy Days!”
The time has come, the clock strikes twelve and another era in the wonderful and literally fantastic history of NIGHTWISH has begun: Today, the Finnish Symphonic metal veterans release their new album Yesterwynde, a stunning journey through memory and monumental music. Known for heavy, orchestral melodic melodic and folk trademarks, the band’s tenth studio album is a dark chest of wonders that, once opened, pulls the listener into a magical world beyond time, out now via Nuclear Blast.
