Summer Breeze Open Air is one of Germany’s biggest metal festivals, held in August at an airfield outside Dinkelsbühl in Bavaria. The festival started in 1997 and moved there after a few years at other locations.
Summer Breeze offers a wide range of metal – from death and black metal to metalcore and power metal – and is known for its relaxed camping atmosphere.
