On October 13, 2024, two giants of melodic death metal will take MAINSTAGE in Den Bosch by storm. Arch Enemy and In Flames have both demonstrated to the world how to deliver an unforgettable show, and in 2024, they join forces to create an explosive evening! They are bringing the meanwhile legendary Soilwork along to warm up the audience.

Arch Enemy: The Swedish band led by guitarists Michael Amott and Jeff Loomis has played a leading role in the melodic death metal scene since 1995. With frontwoman Alissa White-Gluz, often sporting blue hair, as a striking presence, the band is a frequent guest at many festivals. They have already headlined Dynamo Metalfest twice. Together with their fellow countrymen In Flames, this promises to be a treat for fans of melodic death metal.

In Flames: The compatriots of Arch Enemy have been around for 5 years longer and are considered one of the pioneers of the 'Gothenburg Sound,' along with contemporaries At the Gates and Dark Tranquility. In Flames is likely the most successful band in this genre and has inspired many, especially American death metal bands like Lamb of God and The Black Dahlia Murder. Alongside Arch Enemy and Soilwork, this promises to be an evening to savor for fans of the genre.

Soilwork: To complete the Swedish celebration, Soilwork has agreed to open the death metal ball on October 13. The bands have known each other for years; in fact, Arch Enemy's Michael Amott played a crucial role in securing Soilwork's first record deal. Soilwork is more than capable of holding their own and will provide a solid kick-off for a night of Swedish death metal.
