The Raven Age spreads its wings on Durbuy Rock!
With already 4 albums to its credit, The Raven Age is part of this new modern metal scene of which our English friends have the secret. The sound of the latest “Blood Omen (2023)” is described by Kerrang as an equivalent of The Architect coming out of a training camp run by Iron Maiden. And that’s hardly surprising, given the band’s relative youth and the fact that guitarist George Harris’ father is Maiden’s mastermind, Steve.
After conquering Kavka, the furious quintet returns to Belgium for a second date and it will take place at the Durbuy Rock Festival!
We inject another good dose of melodic death metal into the bill with Amorphis!
2 November 2023
Finland is present in force this year with another legendary group. And what a name! Amorphis has been delivering their art to death/doom fans in Europe and the world since 1990 and they don’t seem ready to stop!
After a visit to Belgium last summer at the Alcatraz and a European tour in progress, but without a Belgian date, Amorphis is preparing to shake the walls of the Durbuy Rock Festival!

We reveal one more name for the 2024 poster with Sonata Arctica!
Finland arrives in force with the masters of power that are Sonata Arctica. And let’s take advantage of it, the new single “First In Line” is already delighting our ears with all its power and words resolutely focused on the future.
Come to the DRF to discover the rest of the new opus of Sonata Arctica!
Exhorder comes to strike hard at the DRF!
27 October 2023
Exhorder is coming to DRF and it’s going to be brutal!
The legends of the American thrash scene with New Orlean style are going to bring some serious action to the Sassin stage and the latest information lets us understand that the quartet is preparing their new album! We expect the best from a group that has mastered its recipe since 1985.
Ready for a super groovy uppercut? See you in Durbuy!
Heidevolk is back at the Durbuy Rock Festival for the first time since 2019!
26 October 2023
Heidevolk is back at the Durbuy Rock Festival for the first time since 2019!
For the occasion, the folk/viking metal group returns with its seventh album to date: Wederkeer! If traditional instruments and singing in Dutch are still used, we will appreciate the black metal tints that certain passages of the album can take on (Klauwen Vooruit or De Strijd Duurt Voort).
If Heidevolk will undoubtedly chant “Drink Met De Goden”, they will undoubtedly want to raise the glasses of the DRF audience! Proost!
High Voltage covers AC/DC in Durbuy!
25 October 2023
This year, we invite you to pour liters of beers on Friday evening to the sound of AC/DC. And in Belgium, the guys from High Voltage are masters in the art of covering the hits of rock legends.
Back In Black, TNT, or even Highway To Hell… Get ready to review your classics at the most classic metal festival in Wallonia. Makes some noise !
Soilwork will be part of the next DRF!
23 October 2023
We’re starting the week with a big name… and what a name! Soilwork arrives at Durbuy Rock for the first time !
Soilwork has been writing its name on posters all over the world for almost 30 years. An unmissable model of the melodic death metal genre alongside Dark Tranquility and At The Gates, the Swedes combine virtuosity and brutality both on stage and on record.
Since the death of their guitarist and composer David Andersson, the band has moved forward and is now accompanied by their touring/session guitarist Simon Johansson. This new line up has already convinced European venues and we can’t wait to welcome them to the Durbuy Rock Festival!
The announcement salvo continues!
22 October 2023
We add a dose of thrash metal to the 27th DRF line up with Insanity Alert!
The Austrians began their conquest of the metal scene in 2011 and have since continued their rise throughout Europe. Discography-wise, their latest album “666-pack” (2019) pushes party trash to the max! It doesn’t take itself seriously and it’s completely crazy.
When the group’s slogan is “Run to the pit, mosh for your life!”, we are already looking forward to fighting in the front rows!
Fritcore is back strong with Baraka!
21 October 2023
Belgium will be represented at Durbuy Rock with the now essential Baraka!
Baraka is to Belgian metal what Dikkenek is to cinema. It’s offbeat. It’s baraki. But how good is it! After years of waiting, the group finally released its first album… finally, its first compilation “The Very Best Of Vol.2”! This was to be expected.
Baraka doesn’t do things like others and that’s why we ask the DRF for more.
Suicidal Angels joins the 27th DRF line up!
20 October 2023
Head to Greece for this 3rd announcement with SUICIDAL ANGELS!
If we received the Greek legends of Rotting Christ last year, it is the turn of the no less legendary Suicidal Angels to conquer the Durbuy Rock Festival.
Founded in 2001, the quartet noticed by Rotting Christ quickly acquired international fame by touring across Europe alongside Kreator and Nile.
With Suicidal Angels, prepare yourself for an ultra effective trash metal atmosphere that will remind you of Slayer or Sepultura. In short, violence as we like it at the DRF!
Their recent signing with Nuclear Blast Records augurs the release of a new merciless musical odyssey from the Greeks. Their previous opus “Years Of Aggression” (2019) was appreciated by critics and their horde of fans. We are on the lookout.
