Running order update!

We’re here with the updated and final festival running order! As we do every year, we tried our best to accommodate your requests and resolve genre clashes in our lineup, though of course, it wasn't quite possible to please everyone. We hope we’ve managed to sort out the worst overlaps to your satisfaction without creating brand-new ones. Let us know in the comments!

Bands update

Sometimes, last-minute plans crumble to make room for something even darker. Due to technical reasons, we won’t be seeing Cradle of Filth on stage this year.

Believe us, we are very sorry about this situation and will do our best to bring these names to the Czech Republic as soon as possible.At the same time, however, we are bringing you adequate replacements! Devourment will be replaced in the line-up by the international slam commando Kraanium, while KMFDM's spot will be taken by PIG, a project of English artist Raymond Watts.Thank you for your understanding! ...
