View: Go Retro

After sharing the first round of names for the 2025 edition last August, the Motocul­tor Fes­ti­val continues to unveil its future programming. 25 new names have just been added to those of Machine Head, Land­mvrks, Dim­mu Bor­gir or even Blind Guardian.

An edition which once again promises to be very rich, and which will give pride of place to the different niches of Metal. We will thus find the liturgical show of Batush­kathe industrial metal of Fear Fac­to­ry, the post-Metal slap of Cult of Lunathe metallic synthwave of Car­pen­ter Brutthe Metalcore of I Pre­vailthe progressive rock of Mag­mathe furious Deathcore of Pale­face Swiss, and in a completely different genre the Punk rock of Wampas, which seem to have a special place in the hearts of metalheads.

The reformation of Nailbomb

Note especially the exceptional programming of Nail­bombthe parallel project set up by Max Cav­alera et Alex New­port (Fudge Tunnel) in 1994, alongside his brother Igor, Dino Cazares (Fear Factory) and the deceased D.H. Peli­gro. Two very good albums were born from this collaboration, including the essential “Point Blank”.

For this reformation the brothers Cav­alera should surround themselves with Travis Stone on guitar (Pig Destroyer), Johny Chow on bass (ex-Stone Sour), Adam Jarvis on the drums (Misery Index) and Alex Cha sampling (Pig Destroyer). Nail­bombwho separated in 1995, almost 30 years ago, will first meet again on November 9 at the Max Cavalera Dynasty Show in Arizona, headlined by Soulfly.

More information and ticket reservations on the official website of the Motocul­tor Fes­ti­val. 4-day pass price 190 euros, day pass 69 euros.
