The first day of this year’s Tolminator had the Tolminator Stage featuring doomsters Todomal, UK metalcore outfits Employed To Serve and Bleed From Within, blackgaze icons Deafheaven and to close in style the melodeath legends In Flames!
Photo Reports
Tolminator 2026 kicked off the festival weekend properly at the Beach Stage as usual. Our photographers caught the high velocity sets from local heroes TLMNTR and the thrashers of Xonor and Siberian Meat Grinder!
The DIY stage is where Tolminator’s underground spirit really comes to life. We caught a few of the shows featuring local Slovenian bands like Poguba, Chik Pawza and mal pre mal getting the chance to step into the spotlight and show what they’ve got, but also bands like Austrian sludgers Thosar, Basque country grinders Mutilated Judge and Californian death metallers Dark Insanity!
