'''Summer Storm Festival''' is an annual music festival which takes place in Bangalore, India at the Palace Grounds. The inaugural edition of the Festival was held on 15 May 2010, headlined by American metal band [[Lamb of God (band)|Lamb of God]].<ref>http://www.overtureindia.com/summerstorm.html</ref> <br />
A number of Indian opening and support bands were also part of the event.<br />
<br />
==Significance==<br />
The Summer Storm Festival promises to be in the same vein of the Deccan Rock festival in that both festivals promote Hard Rock and Metal acts and does not bow to commercial or corporate pressures to have pop or radio friendly musicians performing. It is widely regarded as the biggest metal festival in the country, with thousands of metal fans from across India and abroad coming down to witness the event in the city of Bangalore every summer after the failure of the [[Rock 'n India]] festival leaning towards the more radio friendly pop genre from 2010 onwards.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100228182932/http://www.hindu.com/2010/02/22/stories/2010022260540400.htm ]</ref><br />
