METALFEST OPEN AIR 2026 – Lochotín Amphitheatre, PLZEŇ – 5.–7. 6. 2026

More great news for June 2026! The 15th edition of international metal festival METALFEST OPEN AIR, taking place from 5. – 7. 6. 2026 at the Lochotín Amphitheatre in PILSEN, confirms another sensational band to its program! Heavy-rockers ECLIPSE!

ECLIPSE have been making big waves on the European and American rock scene in recent years. With streams in the hundreds of millions and tours from South America to Australia and Japan, these guys are a force to be reckoned with. Their massively catchy musical style and appeal transcends genre. They released a new album called “Megalomanium II” a year ago and they will be presenting it all over Europe. Pilsen, METALFEST is a great choice, isnt´it?

Vocalist Erik Martensson: “If you thought the title of our previous album was proof that we were suffering from grandiose melancholy, you are absolutely right. The only way we could overcome it was to record another one. Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you Megalomanium Part II.”
Guitarist Magnus Henriksson: “This band is on a constant journey, looking for new paths to explore. However, Megalomanium Part II is probably closer to what people usually associate with Eclipse. It is packed to the brim with powerful choruses, beautiful melodies and amazing guitar playing. By the way, I am completely unbiased.”

The joy of playing and playing at a truly masterful level just radiates from this band! You can start looking forward to another great concert experience at METALFEST 2026!
