It was founded in 2008 by long-time friends John Giulio Sprich and Daniel Schneider to create a platform for innovative bands in the modern rock and metal genres.

Euroblast has played a significant role in shaping the modern progressive metal scene and has hosted bands and spectators from over 45 countries.

[3][4] Near the end of 2007 long-time friends John Giulio Sprich and Daniel Schneider decided that since there had not been a festival of its kind to create their very own platform for innovative bands of the modern rock and metal genres.

As time passed, a committed team assembled around Sprich and Schneider and they invited an increasing number of bands leading to a wide variety of musical styles performing for the festivals.

The 15th festival in 2019 featured headliners like Between the Buried and Me, Voyager, and Uneven Structure and introduced newer bands like Azure, Sleep Token, and Votum.
