# MetalDays

MetalDays (anciennement Metalcamp) est un festival de heavy metal organisé annuellement à Tolmin, en Slovénie, actif entre 2004 et 2023. À partir de 2013, le festival est renommé de Metalcamp, en Metaldays. En 2025, à la suite d'une annonce sur Internet, le festival est définitivement annulé.

## Histoire

Le festival est de plus en plus populaire chaque année et bénéficie d'une plus grande couverture médiatique. Des groupes comme Megadeth, Slayer, Amon Amarth, Volbeat, Sabaton et bien d'autres s'y sont produits. En 2010, le nombre de billets était limité à 12 000, mais avec le nouveau site, la limite est augmentée à 25 000. MetalDays est également connu pour ses initiatives en matière de développement durable et d'écologie et a remporté un prix pour un avenir plus vert cinq années consécutives$^,$.
2012 est la dernière année où le nom Metalcamp est utilisé. Depuis 2013, le festival s'appelle MetalDays. En 2023, le lieu de l'oganisation du festival passe de Sotočje, Tolmin, Slovénie au lac Velenje, Velenje, Slovénie.
En septembre 2022, un nouveau festival Metal à Tolmin appelé Tolminator est annoncé. Ce festival est beaucoup plus petit avec des billets limités à 5 000.
L'édition 2024 est annulée pour des raisons financières, notamment à la suite de l'annulation l'année précédente de deux jours de festival pour cause d'importantes inondations. Toutefois une édition 2025 reste prévue du 27 juillet au 2 août 2025. Cependant, en 2025, à la suite d'une annonce sur Internet, le festival est définitivement annulé. Suite au Covid-19 ainsi qu'aux inondations en 2023, les finances du festival ne permettent pas de le maintenir a flot.

## Lieu

Le festival était situé à Sotočje, Tolmin, Slovénie, qui se trouve entre les deux rivières de montagne appelées Tolminka et Soča. MetalDays disposait de deux plages réservées au festival et d'une zone de camping. À partir de 2023, le lieu des MetalDays est déplacé au lac Velenje, Velenje, Slovénie. Le festival offre une grande zone de camping, avec des options de glamping et de tentes pré-implantées. L'endroit est facilement accessible en train, en bus ou en voiture.
