Much in the vein of Sabaton, Epica have announced they will be hosting their own festival – and there’s a crop of big names already on the bill!

The Dutch symphonic metallers will headline what they call ‘Epic Metal Fest’ on 22nd November in Eindhoven. Already on the bill besides Epica will be Eluveitie, Delain, Moonspell, Delain, Fear Factory and Periphery, giving much promise of a festival not to forget!

Vocalist Simone Simmons commented on the announcement:

“It was a long-cherished dream of Epica to host our own festival and we are very proud to be able to present an absolute awesome array of international metal acts. This day will surely be the next highlight in our career and we hope to be able to share it with all of you!”

If you are in the area, this is definitely one not to miss!
