Eclectic music in the Iron City

Melt! Festival is one of the most distinctive rock and pop festivals in Europe. Its reliably huge lineup is known for producing one or two surprises, with the likes of Kylie Minogue and Sven Väth lining up alongside each other at 2015's edition.

The Gremminer Lake is dissected by the Ferropolis peninsula, setting the spectacular machinery of the old mine against a stunning natural landscape and lending a whole heap of individuality to the festival.

Melt! is famous for its all night music, with festivities running until around 7am each morning. Meanwhile, the Sleepless Floor stays open from the minute the festival site opens until the very end.
