The Paris metal circuit has its own regular addresses, and they are not the ones other genres use. In our upcoming listings the Élysée Montmartre, La Machine du Moulin Rouge, the Bataclan, Le Trabendo, Petit Bain and Glazart carry most of the programming, with club-sized rooms taking on the more extreme end of the spectrum. Very large capacities host the genre only occasionally, when an international headliner passes through the city.

Two habits are worth knowing. A metal bill usually brings several bands together on one night: the running order is not something we collect, but the doors time given by the ticket seller tells you roughly how the evening is built. Support acts genuinely matter here — arriving at doors is the norm, not a precaution. Nights end late, which is worth weighing when you look at how a venue is served by public transport.

This page lists every metal and hard rock date announced in Paris, from heavy to death by way of doom and hardcore, sorted by date. Each listing gives the venue, the start time and a link to the official or partner ticket seller. Prices in this repertoire are tighter than in pop or chanson: the rooms involved mostly charge a single ticket, with no seating categories to weigh up.

A word on keeping track. The metal calendar fills in waves, following European tour confirmations, and a period that looks empty today can fill within weeks. Every venue page offers a follow form that alerts you as soon as a new date is published there — more effective than checking back, especially in small rooms where tickets go quickly.

Finally, a note on how the list behaves. Because so much of this repertoire tours Europe as a block, dates for Paris often appear at the same time as those for Brussels or Cologne, several months out. The chronological list here reflects that: long quiet stretches, then a cluster of announcements. Later pages reach deeper into the catalogue.
