The story

Resurrection Fest in Viveiro

A major heavy metal, hardcore punk and rock festival held each summer in the small Galician coastal town of Viveiro since 2006. Its lineups have included Iron Maiden, Slayer and Rammstein alongside a deep roster of underground hardcore and metal acts, growing the festival from a local free event into one of Europe's largest genre-specific gatherings.

Resurrection Fest began in 2006 under the name Viveiro Summer Fest, a free event supported by local government in this small Galician coastal town, before a last-minute headliner cancellation and a rescheduling to November forced a rebrand that stuck: Resurrection Fest.
