Two days of live metal in the Tuscan countryside of Castelfiorentino
The Metal In Farm Festival is a music event dedicated to metal and rock, held in Castelfiorentino, in the heart of the Valdelsa, in the Province of Florence. The festival takes place at Torre Rasa, on Via O. Bacci, in a rural setting that gives the festival its name: "in farm", away from city venues and immersed in the rolling Tuscan landscape.
Originally launched as a single evening dedicated to the local metal scene, in 2026 the Metal In Farm Festival reaches its second edition and expands, spreading over two consecutive days. The formula remains the same as the first edition: numerous bands on stage, completely free admission, and a special focus on emerging and independent groups from the Italian metal scene.
The festival stands out for the number of groups it hosts: each evening features numerous acts, ranging from classic heavy metal to more extreme sounds, as well as hard rock and punk. It is a showcase designed for the underground scene, giving space to bands that rarely find a spot on the bills of major events. The audience is a loyal metal crowd: fans arriving from Castelfiorentino, the Valdelsa, and the rest of Tuscany for two evenings of live music.
The countryside setting at Torre Rasa is one of the festival's distinctive elements. With doors opening in the late afternoon and concerts continuing into the night, the event combines the concert experience with an open-air party vibe, complete with food stalls and social moments between sets. All this in the town of Castelfiorentino, which has always cultivated a vibrant tradition of local events and festivals.
The second edition of the Metal In Farm Festival was held on June 13 and 14, 2026, at Torre Rasa in Castelfiorentino (FI), doubling in size compared to the first edition and offering two full evenings of live music. Doors opened at 4:00 PM on both days, with free admission. The bill featured many bands from the Italian metal and rock scene, including Witchunters, who were there to present their latest record.
During the festival, Witchunters released a limited, hand-numbered edition of their 180g vinyl "Time Is Running" (orange or grey marble version), featuring the bonus track "Inner Place".
Torre Rasa is located at Via O. Bacci 55 in Castelfiorentino (FI), in the Florentine Valdelsa. By car, Castelfiorentino can be reached via the SS429 state road connecting Empoli to Poggibonsi. By train, the Castelfiorentino station is served by the Empoli-Siena line.
Admission to the festival is free.
Doors open in the late afternoon, with concerts starting at 4:00 PM on both days.
