From December 28 to 29, 2024, Runkel in Germany transformed into a haven for Metal fans: The No Sleep After Christmas Festival delivered two days of high-energy live performances, electrifying vibes, and a unique community of music enthusiasts. Presented also by Music-Rebels.com, the festival was once again a highlight to close out the year.
The first night saw bands like example Vanaheim, Hiraes or Gloryhammer ignite the crowd with their powerful performances. The mix of melodic metal, pounding guitar riffs, and epic choruses had the audience on firr.
On the second day, headliner Majestica and the other Acts delivered a spectacular finale that attendees will remember for a long time. A standout moment was the performance by The Darkside of the Moon, whose frontwoman’s Melissa Bonny powerful voice gave everyone goosebumps.
Beyond the music, the festival impressed with its cozy familiar atmosphere and everything was perfectly organized. It’s no surprise that the No Sleep After Christmas Festival has become a must-attend event for metal fans.
