OBSCURA + PESTILENCE + CRYPTIC SHIFT + THUS + DVRK.

In 95 days concert

Five metal bands share one bill at Victoire 2 in Montpellier, the southern French city in the Occitania region. The evening is OBSCURA, PESTILENCE, CRYPTIC SHIFT, THUS and DVRK, performing together as part of SHRED FEST 2027 Europe + UK.

About the evening

A multi-band bill of this kind suits visitors who want to hear several acts in a single night rather than commit to one headliner. The line-up is entirely metal, so the night is best suited to listeners who already enjoy the genre or are curious to explore it. The event is part of a festival tour, which gives the programme a touring character: the bands are presented as a package across several European and UK dates.

The concerts take place at Victoire 2, a venue in Montpellier. For full details on the programme, including the schedule and any practical information for this date, the venue's programming page is the most reliable source: victoire2.com/programmation.

Visiting Montpellier

Montpellier is a lively university city in Occitania, close to the Mediterranean coast. Visitors arriving for a concert can plan a longer stay around it, exploring the city's old centre and its streets before or after the show. Booking accommodation and transport early is sensible for any event in a city of this size, especially when a festival tour brings visitors from across the region and beyond.
