Litha Fest 2025: A fiery celebration of pagan spirit and metal music

On July 5, 2025, Gentbrugge buzzed with the second edition of our very own Litha Fest in our very own Asgaard! The festival is all about pagan/folk and black metal. It attracted a passionate audience of metalheads, pagans, local residents and curious passersby for a day full of music, fire, and mythical energy.

Spread across two stages – the intimate setting of Asgaard and the main stage in De Vierde Zaal – the festival presented a lineup of heavy and atmospheric acts. Fans were treated to enchanting folk melodies and raging black metal riffs.

But Litha Fest offers more than just music. A lively craft market brought together local artisans selling handmade goods. Visitors could also participate in sword fighting initiations, take part in a balfolk dance workshop, or even relax with a Viking massage. After the final concert, the festival concluded with a magnificent fire show that lit up the night in true pagan fashion.
