# Metaldays

Metaldays es un festival de música heavy metal que se celebra anualmente entre julio y agosto en Tolmin, Eslovenia desde 2004. Cada año el festival se ha vuelto más popular, con una mayor cobertura de medios de comunicación. No obstante, para evitar que la cantidad de asistentes se vuelva inmanejable, en 2010 se estableció un límite en la venta de entradas a un máximo de 12,000 personas.
Originalmente, el festival fue organizado por el promotor austríaco Rock The Nation y la empresa eslovena Master of Metal (MOM d.o.o.).
Entre 2004 y 2012, el festival se llamó Metal Camp (o Metalcamp), en una alusión a las áreas de camping que se ubican allí. Desde 2013, el festival fue denominado de una forma más apropiada como Metaldays. Los objetivos del evento siguen siendo los mismos, pero la organización cambió a partir de entonces, al ser asumido íntegramente por el promotor esloveno MIFI d.o.

## Ubicación

El festival se realiza en el área boscosa de Sotočje, al sur de Tolmin, Eslovenia, sitio que se encuentra en medio de dos ríos de montaña llamados Tolminka y Soča. Las estribaciones de los Alpes julianos se encuentran al norte de ese pequeño valle.
Metaldays tiene dos playones de río reservados para el evento y una zona para acampar.
