Over its history, the Festival has scheduled concerts by the most famous representatives of Heavy Metal in sometimes very different styles. The symphonic Metal of Nightwish and Apocalyptica have rubbed shoulders, for example, with Korn's nu Metal, Slayer's and 69 Chambers' trash Metal or the legendary Motorhead's speed Metal. In the same Heavy Metal register, Saxon, Nazareth, Von Pariahs and the Chickenfoot and Heaven & Hell supergroups have also played at Montreux Jazz.
