About
The Party.San Metal Open Air takes place each summer on the Obermehler airfield near Schlotheim in Thuringia, an open site hosting the stages and campground together. Founded in the 1990s, it has become a fixture for fans of extreme metal, with a lineup centered on death, black metal and their more radical offshoots.
