the metal concerts of June 2024 in Northern Italy |

The month starts immediately with a field day. Saturday 1 June you might want to earn Valhalla points by listening Vicious Rumors and Crying Steel at Alchemica in Bologna; otherwise there are i Devil’s Bridge (with Voland and Scars in Pneuma) at the Centrale Rock Pub in Erba; quiet evening instead at the Slaughter in Paderno Dugnano, with Hell in the Club and other hard’n’heavy associates of the old woman; However, those who gravitate around Modena should not miss the Duir, at Centrale66; and we also point out the Lacerhate to the UFO of Mozzo (BG), i Niche at the Blue Angel of Genoa, i Portico Dogs at Freakout in Bologna ei Sonum at the San Giorgio Brewery in Costabissara (VI). It doesn’t end here, because there are also the Camerata Mediolanense (correct me: LA Camerata Mediolanense) at Alex’s House, in Milan, and the second day of Dolometal Fest, in Molina Val di Fiemme, which must be a beautiful situation; or you could veer towards a stoned evening with him StonerRepublic, at Arci Persichello in Persico Dosimo (CR), which offers Druids and Chrysalis. Finally there is the triple option kicks in the mouth with the Pordenone Hardcore Fest (Tune Music Lab, Hobos headliner), the Pontelungo Hardcore (at the Pontelungo Summer Festival in Bologna, free entry) and the Rebel Heads Festat the Mamaloca in Vicenza, with Raw Power leading the lineup.

And let’s add the Second Impact Fest at Ekidna in Carpi (MO), an event focused on metalcore, screamo and surrounding areas, and which will also continue Sunday 2 June. Day in which there will also be the Death Over Berghem Festto the UFO of Mozzo, in the Bergamo area, and theUnderground Mania Fest at Sgrexenda, in the Vicenza area, with a series of Italian stoner, doom and hard rock groups.

Not even time to recover and we’re already off again Monday 3with i Los Crveles at Altro Quando, in the Treviso area, and with i Negative Approach at the Solidarrock in Cassano d’Adda (free entry). Tuesday 4however, there are the King Gizzard & The Wizard Lizard at Magnolia and, alternatively, at Ziggy in Turin again i Negative Approach. The latter will also be at Freakouts the day after (Wednesday 5), in conjunction with the Total Chaos at Blah Blah in Turin, i Chasm at Solidarrock (together with Threestepstotheocean, always free entry) and LS Dunes at Santeria in Milan.

We then move on to Friday 7 Junein which, in addition to Total Chaos at the Ex Bocciofila in Bologna, three festivals overlap: the Subsound Fest at Buridda in Genoa (organized by the label of the same name, headliner Lili Refrain), the Borgogenerator at Borgo di Montebello Fiorentino (three stoner groups, headlined by A Forest Mighty Black) and the first day of Rock in Riot 2024at the Il Tiro Sports Center in Bergamo: Friday headliner Nebula e Saturday 8 Total Chaos. The latter will also be the day of the return of the giants of Finnish black Satanic Warmaster (with Osculum Infame and other bad guys) at Slaughter, del Desert Fox Fest at Spazio 4.0 in Piacenza and the Punkarolla Fest at the Arci Margot in Carmagnola. Always at Arci Margot Sunday 9 they will ring Nebula; alternatively, at the Solidarrock in Cassano d’Adda there is a nice stoner evening with the 1782 headliner and free entry.

Monday 10 June there is the third date of Nebula, this time at Altro Quando, in the Treviso area. The next day, that is Tuesday 11the Legend passes Counterpartswhile the Carroponte hosts the Polyphia which also brings with it Igorrr, our Charles’s by far favorite artist. Then, Wednesday 12there is that subject of Alex Terrible and his people Slaughter to Prevail at the Live Music Club of Trezzo sull’Adda and also i Leechbogg at the Sherwood Festival in Padua, in the car park of the Euganeo Stadium. At the same time as the Rhofiera, none other than the Evanescence.

Thursday 13th Rock’n’Roll in Milan offers a thrash metal evening led by Uralswhich Belardian speech defined “square, turreted and with good walls”. A few kilometers away, at Carroponte, everyone in Irish costume for the Dropkick Murphystrying to get through security with cans of Guinness in my backpack.

Friday 14 June Chino Moreno arrives at Alcatraz with his men Crosses (whose official moniker would technically be †††), carrying his Vowws friends on his shoulders. Also in Milan, Barrio’s Live offers the Supercore, ten euro festival with various Italian groups: the headliner is Sharks in your Mouth. From 14 to 16 June we also highlight the Bott and Rollinteresting three days of rockabilly at Ca’ Bottona in Costermano sul Garda, in which sacred monsters and bold young people will perform.

Saturday 15 June The Parma Tattoo Nerd Fest has an evening to remember ready: Elvenking, Michele Luppi but above all Domenico Bini, whose parable reminds me a bit of that of Mario Magnotta, who ended up as a guest at events called Magnotta Party during which he went on stage for a few minutes, repeated some of his legendary catchphrases about the San Giorgio washing machine or the terrorist registration form, a couple of curses and then took a photo with the bystanders. I went there once, more than twenty years ago, but the only photo was taken by Marco Tossico and that pizzarrone lost it. It occurs to me now that perhaps some of those who read me don’t know who Magnotta is and I feel terribly old. In any case, if you don’t feel like participating in this great cringiata, even i Descendants on the beach of Igea Marina for 20 euros must be a lot of fun. But also the Metal Fest at the Belluno Brewery: six Venetian groups, including Shiver Down and Membrance, and at midday you eat with the giant spit.

Neither The dark Knight at one point a policeman tells the Joker that he won’t beat him, because he knows people like him and knows that he would take a perverse pleasure in being beaten. Here, the Joker would have a lot of fun at Live Music Club il June 16thbecause they are there Hatebreed and Crowbar and the blows on teeth and joints will be wasted. A completely different atmosphere at Slaughter, where i Quireboys they will celebrate their forty years. Then, still remaining in the Milan area and surrounding areas, Santeria offers Australian stoners Psychedelic Porn Crumpets and the Legend the Americans Red. Moving to Emilia, there are the Wind Rose at the Parma Tattoo Nerd Fest (maybe they make Bini dress like a dwarf) and the celebrated English deathsters Ingested at the Freakout.

Monday 17 June the city of Milan hosts a couple of nice concerts: i Megadethof course at Alcatraz and of course sold out for a long time, hey Mr. Bungle at Magnolia, who bring with them Oxbow and Spotlights, label mates at Ipecac. Considering that the Magnolia will have already opened the outdoor space with a pizzeria, deckchairs and other nice things, I think I’ll give it a little thought.

Tuesday 18 there are the Gozu (from the Heavy Psych Sounds roster) at Freakout. Wednesday 19th it will be the turn of Lovebites to the Legend and the Slug Gore at the People’s Festival (free entry), and then Thursday 20th they arrive Death Before Dishonor at the Magazzini sul Po in Turin. The three-day event also begins on Thursday 20th Low-L Fest at Spazio 4.0 in Piacenza: the most interesting day for us metalworkers is the first, with Cripple Bastards, Dsa Commando, Fulci, Slug Gore etc, but in case also take a look at the lineup of the other two days, you never know. After that, Friday 21 Junedon’t miss the Pontelungo Summer Festival in Bologna: Fulci, Slug Gore, Golem of Gore, Across the Swarm and Cheap Date play, and entry is free. Otherwise, there are always the Atreyu on the Santeria stage, with the Lowlives in support.

Do you want to hear an absurd billboard? Folkstone, Punkreas, Ufomammut and Tons. All true, it happens Saturday 22 June to the Rock Burger Fest, in Moncalieri. Completely different atmosphere that of Arab Strap, who even play at the Milan Triennale, among pashminas, lapels and journalists who have come for the buffet. If, however, you are more into rockabilly and above all you live on the opposite side of the kingdom of Po Valley darkness, the Memorial Bronco in Forlimpopoli it could be a good idea to spend a Saturday evening. Otherwise there is the second edition of Monteuhellat the municipal theater of Monteu da Po, near Turin: Infernal Angels, Necroshine and Rawness Obsolete present.

Sunday 23 it is a day of choices and sacrifices. Starting from the west, we have Biohazard and Fear Factory at the Phenomenon in Fontaneto d’Agogna (Novara), then i Wayfarer (with Dreadnought and Thysia as support) at the Centrale Rock Pub in Erba, again i Brujeria to Alchemy and finally i Comeback Kid (together with Bane) at the Bonsai Garden, also in Bologna. The next day, that is Monday 24thwe point out i Dying Wish at the Slaughter ei Gel at the Pontelungo Summer Festival, always with free admission.

Tuesday 25 JuneEven though it’s a weekday, it’s a crazy day. Still starting from the west, at Blah Blah in Turin there are the Slapshot with a baseball bat in his hand; to make you understand who we’re talking about, I think it’s the only old school American hardcore band that even Michele Romani managed to like when we saw them live at Hellfest. Still on the subject of blows, there is an event at the SOS Fornace in Rho Bandits in Milan, with Shitbrains, Interpunkce and Brunner Todesmarsch. At Alcatraz, however, there is Corey Taylor, which I imagine will fill the place for reasons I could never understand. A little further away at Legend there are the Throwndefined as “Swedish nu-core phenomena” (if you go there, don’t fail to let us know), and another a little further away, at Slaughter, there is the second Italian date of Brujeria. A gem are then Interpol at the Vittoriale Amphitheater, which honestly if I didn’t go I would feel painfully guilty – and the bad thing is that, most likely, I won’t go. Finally we also point out the mighty Yngwie Malmsteenin Piazzale del Castello in Udine, for his Greatest Hits Tour.

Wednesday 26 there are still them Slapshot (this time at Freakout) e Malmsteen (at the Bonsai Garden in Bologna). Also arriving in the Bologna city, at the Alchemica Vader for the fortieth anniversary tour: supporting, Bio-Cancer and Warside. In Milan, however, the Magnolia offers the only Italian date of Garbage. And we also meet him again Slug Gorethis time at the Sherwood Festival in Padua.

Friday 28 they pass to the Freakout Hippie Death CultAmericans under Heavy Psych Sounds, while at Blah Blah in Turin there is the only Italian date of Aciditypretty pissed off Mexican hardcore band. Saturday 29 then there are the Europe in Bellinzona, in the Canton of Ticino (which is across the border but, being Saturday, I’m sure it will attract a decent crowd of Italians). In the end Sunday 30 Ziggy in Turin closes the month with the medieval black metal of Hulder from Portland, accompanied by Tulpa parmesan cheeses.

That should be everything. As usual, if we have forgotten something, let us know in the comments and we will add it. See you in line for beers. (barg)
