ROCK THE CASTLE is back, the all-rock festival hosted in the Scaligero Castle of Villafranca di Verona.

From 23 to 26 June 2022, four days of music accompanied as always by good food, free meetings with the bands and much more to fully experience a festival live again. Avenged Sevenfold will perform on stage on June 23, in their only Italian date, along with Jinjer, Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy and Company and American Code Orange. The following day Mercyful Fate are confirmed as headliner, led by the great King Diamond. Before them the Blind Guardian with the special show focused on their album "Somewhere Far Beyond" will perform, followed by the legendary Venom led by Cronos and the historical band Death SS, who for the occasion will perform an old-school set. On the third day Judas Priest celebrate their 50 years of career. To complete the day dedicated to traditional metal there will be Saxon, Ufo with the farewell show and Angel Witch. Last day of music with Baroness, The Inspector Cluzo, Megadeth, Dave Mustaine's band, and the history of metal with Mastodon, Kreator and Suicidal Tendencies.

Other acts will be announced later.

Also in 2022 #RockTheCastle renews its commitment to the environment: single-use plastic will be banned inside the castle during the festival and water will be free of charge.
