Loud Park

Loud Park is one of Japan's largest heavy metal festivals, launched in 2006 and held at Chiba's Makuhari Messe and later Saitama Super Arena. It brings together international headliners from heavy metal, thrash and power metal (Slayer, Megadeth, Judas Priest, Anthrax) alongside Japanese acts such as Loudness, Dir En Grey and Babymetal. After a hiatus, the event made a notable comeback, cementing its status as a must for Japanese metalheads.
