Bias read (Center): The article reports on a sports-related event (heavy-metal music festival), which falls under the 'SPORTS' category. There is no political charge or ideological framing present. The tone is celebratory but neutral, focusing solely on the event’s logistics, ticket sales, and lineup. No political bias
