Old Grave Fest 13: Blasphemy, Discharge, Negative Plane, Messiah and more

Old Grave Fest 13 returns to Quantic in Bucharest, Romania, from October 8–10, 2026, bringing another devastating gathering of underground metal, punk and traditional heavy music to the Romanian capital.

Organized by the Romanian Thrash Metal Club, this year’s edition moves from the bestial black/death assault of Blasphemy and the legendary hardcore punk devastation of Discharge to the occult, cathedral-like black metal of Negative Plane.

With bands representing black metal, death metal, thrash, doom, heavy metal, speed metal, punk and NWOBHM, Old Grave Fest 13 promises to be less of a conventional festival and more of an apocalyptic underground metal gathering.
