MAMMUT Metal Festival

Mammut, by the scene, for the scene

The Mammut Festival originated as an initiative of the local Swabian metal scene centred around MatriX in Königsbrunn. The event is organised without a major festival agency: fans, musicians, and crew plan, build, and manage everything together. This community approach shapes the atmosphere and distinguishes Mammut from large commercial festivals.

Twice a Year

The festival takes place twice a year: a spring edition two weeks before Easter and an autumn edition on the fourth weekend of October. Both editions feature 16 bands over two days – a balanced mix of well-known headliners and local heroes, covering all subgenres of metal: Black, Death, Heavy, Metalcore, Thrash, Doom, Progressive.

MatriX Königsbrunn

MatriX is an established event hall south of Augsburg, directly accessible via tram line 3. The hall offers decent acoustics and is fully wheelchair accessible. Children under 14 are admitted free when accompanied by an adult – a nod to the festival's family-friendly aspirations despite the heavy music.

Hard Tickets Only

A special feature is the ticketing policy: hard tickets exclusively, no online booking, no e-tickets. Orders are placed via [email protected] with a €2 shipping fee. This deliberately old-fashioned solution aligns with the festival's DIY philosophy and helps prevent scalping. There is no on-site camping, but hotels and pitches are available in the surrounding area.

In the Augsburg District

Königsbrunn is located in the Augsburg district of Bavarian Swabia, directly on tram line 3 from Augsburg Central Station. Travel from Munich (A8) or Stuttgart (A8/A7) is straightforward. Those arriving by train should go to Augsburg Hbf and transfer directly to the tram – a clear advantage over remote outdoor metal festivals.
