Vagos Open Air was an open-air heavy metal/rock festival held annually in Vagos, Portugal. The festival had been held there since 2009. It was organized by Prime Artists together with PEV Entertainment, two portuguese event promoters.

The origins of a music festival in the Aveiro region are traced to a small event, called Rock in Ria, featuring a few portuguese and international bands, but in 2009 that event gave way to a new full-fledged international festival which turned out to be one of the bigger heavy metal festivals in Portugal.

Since 2009 the festival was held in two locations: the village of Calvão and the city of Vagos itself, at Quinta do Ega.

In late 2015, it was announced the festival would relocate to Quinta da Marialva, in the city of Corroios, and change its name to VOA Fest. A successor, Vagos Metal Fest, was announced to take place in the same location as the previous incarnation of the festival a few months later. Both VOA Fest and Vagos Metal Fest held their first editions in 2016.

The year of 2009 saw the first incarnation of the festival, a two-day event held on Friday, 7 August and Saturday, 8 August at the football ground of a village named Calvão, near Vagos.
