Beyond the Gates is an annual extreme metal festival that takes place every year in August in Bergen, Norway. The main stage is at USF Verftet, a refurbished sardine factory transformed into a venue. [1] [2]
The festival took place after Hole in the Sky, a predecessor extreme metal festival which took place also in Bergen in August, ended. [3] The first edition of the festival took place in 2013. [4]
On 25 April 2020, the festival organization announced that the 2020 edition of the festival would be cancelled because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The curation at this festival is bonkers, and plays out like a who's who of Scandinavian icons. Watching the bands that started this crazy scene, in a city where much of its origin story takes place, is a pilgrimage any fan should absolutely take in their lifetime.
