Richie Kotzen

The colossal Richie Kotzen will also be in Cartagena next year. The prolific multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and above all guitar hero does not seem to have enough with the half dozen parallel projects he has been working on: it is with his solo work where we discover the magnitude of an unrepeatable musician. Long life!

Napalm Death

The legendary British group Napalm Death, undisputed pioneers of grindcore and one of the most influential bands in the history of extreme music, will be setting Rock Imperium Festival 2024 on fire with their particular Dies Irae. Are you ready?

Lonely Fire

Lonely Fire is a band from Cartagena composed of musicians with extensive experience in the music scene, now embarking on an ambitious new project. With a sound heavily influenced by the classics of the ’70s and ’80s, the group has completed its first album, scheduled for release later this year. We’ll thoroughly enjoy their performance…

Archetype of Disorder

From Cartagena, we’ll have the gothic/symphonic metal of Archetype of Disorder, a blend of enveloping melodies and catchy choruses that will delight the Rock Imperium Festival attendees. “Odyssey In Space” is their latest release, a true astral journey you can’t miss.

Invicti

Invicti is a classic heavy metal band formed at the beginning of 2022, consisting of three veteran musicians who had previously worked together as a Manowar tribute band called Aguiwar. Influenced by genre icons like Judas Priest and Savatage, their first album, titled “Song Of Conquest,” was released in January 2023.

Hard Love

Straight from Murcia, melodic hard rock will make its way to Rock Imperium with Hard Love, who are about to release their new studio work. Meticulously crafted melodies and a sonic foundation to match. They’ll surely have us headbanging to their songs at the Rock Imperium Festival 2024.

Holycide

The thrash metal from the Spanish band Holycide will shake the foundations of Rock Imperium with the songs from their new EP titled “Bazookiller,” a torrent of sharp riffs and gripping melodies. One of the most prominent thrash bands in our scene, they’re the perfect addition to our festival lineup.

Astray Valley

Astray Valley is known for incorporating mystical references and dark stories into their songs, imagery, and performances. Their new release, “Midnight Sun,” promises to continue the band’s upward trajectory, complemented by unique imagery in the Spanish music scene and compositions as immersive as they are distinctive.

Phantom Excaliver

Winners in the Wacken Open Air battle of the bands, Phantom Excaliber will come directly from Japan to showcase their powerful heavy metal. Dreams, passion, hope, and courage are their hallmarks. They are one of the Japanese bands that have crossed borders in recent years.
