Prog Metal Mania 2025

Offering an exciting mix of established greats as well as emerging, young bands, Prog Metal Mania Festival is making its event debut on May 2nd and 3rd in Munich’s world-famous Backstage, featuring the headliners SCAR SYMMETRY, DISILLUSION along with OBSIDIOUS, XAON, VULKAN, and more.
Shaping up to be a must-attend for Progressive Rock and Metal fans from Germany and beyond, the 2025 inaugural line-up sees 13 bands and one special guest hailing from Sweden, Germany, the UK, France, Greece, Italy, and Lebanon. Each of them brings something special from the broad Prog, Metal & Mania spectrum: they mesmerize with beautiful melodies and virtuoso playing, make hearts beat faster thanks to complex rhythm patterns and expressive vocals, or blow their listeners away with energetic riffs and epic song structures.
As all concerts are set on the same stage, there are no overlaps in the playing times so all bands can be experienced. The venue’s beer garden is a great place for lively chats with other Prog Metal Maniacs from near and far while getting drinks and food there.
