Für den Moment zählt aber erstmal nur eins: Sichert euch euer Ticket im Vorverkauf, kommt nach Weimar und zelebriert mit uns noch einmal das "kleines Party.San“!

As we all know, after Party.San comes Herbstoffensive!
This year, however, will be a very special edition: Herbstoffensive will take place for the seventh - and at the same time, final - time. The reasons behind this decision will be explained in more detail through the usual channels over the coming weeks.
But for now, only one thing matters: Grab your ticket in advance, come to Weimar and join us for one last celebration of our “little Party.San”!
2 days - 12 bands - one final Herbstoffensive!

Sweden's death metal wrecking crew Nekrodawn will unleash their crushing second album "Covenant Of Carnage" via War Anthem Records on August 21, 2026.
If you're at Party.San Metal Open Air, you don't have to wait. Head over to our Cudgel booth and grab your copy two weeks before the official release!

Featuring members with ties to GRAVE, CENTINEX, INTERMENT, THE CROWN and HYPOCRISY, NEKRODAWN return with an album that's heavier, darker and even more relentless than their acclaimed debut "Sculpted By Torture".
"Covenant Of Carnage" is a merciless onslaught, fusing the raw power of classic Swedish death metal with a sinister blackened edge and modern-day devastation.

For fans of BLOODBATH, TORTURE DIVISION, SKELETAL REMAINS, heavier HYPOCRISY and VOMITORY.
