The Netherlands is set to gain a brand new one-day rock and metal festival, Headbangers Parade.

The inaugural edition is slated to take place at Klokgebouw (cap. 9,000) in Eindhoven, south Netherlands, on 21 May with ten blockbuster acts from the genres.

Architects, Ghøstkid, Tesseract and Stake have already been confirmed, with more names to be announced in the coming months.

According to the organisation, Headbangers Parade – a nod to the ‘Headbangers Ball‘ programme which aired on MTV in the 1990s – offers “a contemporary program, with room for new sounds, but also for established names”.
