About
The festival takes place inside the Old Army Fortress in Josefov (approx. 130 km from Prague). Both of the main stages are on the main festival square and the festival services are placed in the surrounding space. The festival-goers will discover dozens of refreshment kiosks with selection of worldwide cuisine. The fest is ready for carnivores, vegetarians and vegans and will also offer 4 big “beer tents” offering thousands of sitting places and 5 types of draught beer from the world famous czech Budweisser Budvar brewery! Wide selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks will be prepared as well.  

The fest also has it’s own “chill out” zone on the place called “Greenfield” just a 4-minute walk from the main stages! Greenfield is a place for your pleasure and relaxation when you want to escape from the loud terror. It is a place for recharging your energy. Among other attractions you can find enormous “Metal Market” in there. The market is home to more than 60 shops and sits just next to the festival “Horror Cinema Grindhouse” with it’s all day projection of cheesy horror flicks and other forms of bizarre cinematography. Also visit our “Natural grandstand”, a place for those who want to see the festival rush from above. Located directly opposite the main stages, the hillside “natural grandstand” is a place where you can stay standing or sitting and enjoy the bands from above. This year again with separate sound coverage! Festival services include meet and greet point, non-stop bars, art gallery and many more attractions! The camping site is located approx. 300m from the festival ground on a grass field. The
general camping is free for all, but the camping site also includes “VIP Camp” which offers
extra services like camping in the fenced area, toilets, washbasin and depository for use of the VIP camp inhabitants exclusively, a free 3-day pass for the natural stand and shower situated in the main camping site. VIP camp is guarded 24 hours a day from Wednesday August 05th till Sunday August 9th. You can purchase the VIP camp alongside the tickets in our e-shop.

There are no parking capacities at the camping site. 24 hours “Guarded parking” is situated approx. 500m from the camping site by the river. Parking is also possible in the near roads and streets of Josefov. As the festival is every year enjoying more and more attention, it is highly recommended to buy your tickets in advance. The capacity of the Fortress is approx. 20.000 persons.
