The Heavy Week-End reveals the opening trio of headliners for its fourth edition, scheduled for June 4, 5 and 6, 2027 at the Open-Air Amphitheatre within the Grand Nancy Zenith, in Maxéville. Helloween, Falling In Reverse and Marilyn Manson will share top billing at a festival that once again promises to bring together multiple generations of metalheads!
After welcoming marquee acts such as Scorpions, Slipknot, Judas Priest, Gojira, Deep Purple or Megadeth in previous editions, the Heavy Week-End presses on with a lineup that is already marked by three distinct musical universes.
On Friday, June 4, Helloween will kick off the festivities. The German heavy metal legends will extend their 40-year anniversary tour, which began in 2025. The following day, Falling In Reverse takes the stage. Rare on French soil, the American group led by Ronnie Radke is expected to draw attention with its blend of metalcore, post-hardcore and alternative influences. Finally, Marilyn Manson will close this fourth edition on Sunday, June 6, with his provocative universe and industrial metal.
Nine other acts will complete the lineup in the coming weeks. The festival, which drew nearly 40,000 spectators over three days in June 2026, once again relies on its human-scale format: four bands per day on a single large stage, chosen to prioritize the audience’s comfort, visibility, and listening conditions.
Organized by Gérard Drouot Productions, Heavy Week-End will return to the Open-Air Amphitheatre of the Zenith of the Grand Nancy in Maxéville, whose setup is limited to 20,000 seats, with nearly 10,000 of them seated. A marquee rock and metal venue in the Grand Est, it has hosted acts such as Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC, Rammstein and System Of A Down.
On the ticketing front, the presale reserved for those who have already purchased tickets runs from Thursday, October 29 at 12:00 to Friday, October 30 at 10:00, with the code HEAVY27. The general sale for three-day passes will then open on Friday, October 30 at 10:00.
Save the dates of June 4, 5 and 6, 2027 in Nancy for three days of metal, while awaiting the nine additional groups that will complete this initial announcement.
