The Loud Park Festival (ラウドパーク, Raudo Pāku) is a heavy metal festival held annually at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama City or Makuhari Messe in Chiba City, Japan. It's one of the biggest heavy metal festivals in Japan.

The festival has featured both Japanese and international performers such as DragonForce, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Slayer, Circus Maximus, Napalm Death, Angra, Loudness, Anthem, United, Outrage, Galneryus, Dir En Grey and Babymetal.

Producer Creativeman formed a joint venture with Live Nation Entertainment in 2013.[1] Live Nation bought full control of the venture (including Loud Park Festival) in 2014.[2]

In 2018, it was announced that the event will not be held that year and will be discontinued "due to various circumstances", but had plans to return in the future.[3][4]

In 2022, it was announced that it will take place in March 2023 only and it was announced Pantera would be the headliner.[5][6]
