Vagos Metal Fest 2026 Completes Lineup with 13 New Confirmations
Vagos Metal Fest has officially closed the lineup for its 2026 edition, confirming 13 additional bands and solidifying what is set to be the most ambitious chapter in the festival’s history. The event will take place from August 5 to 9, 2026, at Quinta do Ega, once again bringing together thousands of fans for five days dedicated to heavy music in all its forms.
Among the final wave of confirmations, four names stand out: Massacration, The Troops of Doom, Employed To Serve and Toxikull. These additions join an already powerful lineup led by headliners Lamb of God, Within Temptation, Godsmack, In Flames and Satyricon, alongside previously announced acts such as Doro, Heaven Shall Burn, Deicide and Korpiklaani.
Final Wave Highlights
Brazilian act Massacration will make their long-awaited debut in Portugal, bringing their distinctive mix of satire, technical execution and high-energy heavy metal. Also representing Brazil, The Troops of Doom — formed by former members of Sepultura’s classic era — promise an intense performance rooted in the origins of death/thrash metal.
Massacration will play in Portugal for the first time
From the UK, Employed To Serve deliver a modern take on heavy music, combining aggression with melodic sensibility, while Portugal’s own Toxikull return to Vagos with their classic heavy metal sound and strong connection to the local scene.
In addition, the festival strengthens its diversity with nine more confirmed acts: Jeremy Harry Harris, Melodius Deite, Guiltera, Stercore, Symfobia, Leave The Wave, Lone Survivors, Unredeemer and Dark Sky.
Five Days of Metal
With the full lineup now revealed, Vagos Metal Fest continues to reinforce its reputation as one of Portugal’s leading heavy music events. Across five days, the festival will showcase a wide spectrum of metal, from extreme and underground acts to internationally renowned headliners.
Tickets are already available, with daily passes priced at €69 and the 5-day general pass available for €169, through official outlets including Ticketline, Masqueticket and Unkind.
As the countdown begins, the 2026 edition is shaping up to be a landmark moment for the festival, further cementing its status as the “Capital of Metal” in Portugal.
