Welcome to the first Croatian edition of METALFEST, which marks Zadar and Croatia's joining of the already great METALFEST family, in 2012 comprised of nine festivals in eight different countries. Unique thanks to its uncommon beauty and ideal geographical location, the 3000-year old city of Zadar is a Croatian hit tourist destination, surrounded by five national parks and two nature parks in the near vicinity. Metalfest Croatia is the first METALFEST to be held directly at the seaside, encircled by beaches on three of its four sides. At the time of the festival, the temperatures can range up to 35 degrees Celsius and you’ll want to take a swim in the crystal clear blue Adriatic sea. Let METALFEST Croatia be your heavy metal vacation near the sea.

METALFEST 2012 – Megadeth confirmed as headliner! Exclusive festival shows 2012!

Strap yourselves in, dear friends, because MEGADETH have been confirmed to headline METALFEST 2012! It´s a real honor for us, to present this heavy metal legend to you, which is going to play exclusively at METALFEST in Germany, Austria, Croatia, Italy, Poland and Czech Republic, meaning you won´t see MEGADETH play any other summer festivals 2012 in these countries!

MEGADETH, who released milestone albums such as „Peace Sells… But Who´s Buying?“, „Rust In Peace“ or „Countdown To Extinction“ have eternalized themselves in metal history and are rightly on top of the heavy metal movement, also known as the „Big 4“. In almost 30 years of their career they´ve achieved what others can only dream of, sold millions of records and among metal fans all over the world, MEGADETH are considered to be favorites no matter what. A MEGADETH record belongs to every metal household around the globe, without doubt.

Currently the band released their new work called „Th1rt3en“. Their last effort „Endgame“ had already proven to be a step into the right direction and „Th1rt3en“ should leave all critics speechless, once again. They sound as aggressive, raw and rampant as ever, Mustaine´s distinctive guitar play appears to be hugely currish and the riffing feels sharp as a butchers knife. Dave Mustaine´s vocals sound very much sinister and the rhythm section offers those furious riffs a pounding and grooving counterpart, that puts tracks such as „Whose life (is it anyways?)“, „Fast lane“ or „13“ to a very high level of quality. „Th1rt3en“ is a roaring and crushing statement of MEGADETH!
