Metaltown

The Metaltown festival was a three-day festival featuring heavy metal bands, held in Gothenburg, Sweden. It was arranged annually from 2004 to 2013.

The original Metaltown venue was at Frihamnen, but was moved in 2011 to Göteborg Galopp close to Gothenburg City Airport. An indoor revival was held in 2016 at Trädgår'n. An attempted revival in 2020 to be held at Frihamnen was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
