While having a huge number of followers, rock/metal music is illegal in Iran and the fans are severely oppressed. Being able to perform for their fans, which is the fundamental need for any musician, is denied in Iran, that's why Zhesht Events, supported by the guys from Master of Persia, have arranged for the festival to take place in Yerevan, Armenia.

To make it easier for Iranian metalheads to arrange their travel to Armenia, Zhesht Events is cooperating with Iranian travel agencies that will be offering travel packages at competitive prices that include bus tickets, accomodation, hotel transfers, breakfasts and a festival ticket.

The festival will take place on 14th of September in Puppet Theater, 4 Sayat Nova str, Yerevan, Armenia. Doors Open at 16:30. Ticket price is $10.

Specifically for those craving for more metal and thinking that 1 day of metal is not enough, Zhesht Events is also organizing a club after party on on 15th of September in Stop Club (Moskovyan 37) with live performances by Blood Inheritance (Death Metal / Armenia), Nairi (Heavy Metal / Armenia) and Dischord (Deathcore / Georgia). A grand international jam session after these performances is highly anticipated. Persian Metal Festival afterparty will start at 19:00
