Info

For the second year now, due to well known circumstances, Brutal Assault cannot take place in its usual form, but we are not giving up!

Just like last year we are coming up with a smaller version of the festival. Brutal Assault is unique for its atmosphere, dramaturgy and location. Our main goal for JOSEFSTADT is to give you the same special experience as with the full edition, with no difference in the services provided.

JOSEFSTADT is a three-day festival taking place at the Fortress Josefov from 12-14 August 2021.

Why Josefstadt?
Josefstadt is the former name of Josefov - a historic fortress town from the 18th century, which was built by the Habsburgs on the orders of Emperor Joseph II.
The military fortress later served as a hospital for the wounded and as a camp, and was occupied for three centuries by different military garrisons, Czechoslovak, Wehrmacht and Soviet.
Josefov has an unmistakable character. A soul. That is why we have been renovating the fortress for several years now.
Josefov as a small town is an exceptional location for the festival. The pentagonal bastion fortifications, the shafts and one of the most extensive underground systems in Europe, the many alleys, squares and associated spaces make it a unique and vast complex designed to accommodate 42,000 people.
This is where the annual Brutal Assault takes place. And this year, Josefstadt!

Accommodation
https://brutalassault.cz/en/accommodation

We offer:
- double and triple rooms in the Hotel Černigov, including transport from the hotel to the festival grounds and back
- place for your tent in two VIP campsites for 1-6 persons:
VIP Camp 1 - with full facilities, divided into sectors and guarded by security guards around the clock, which includes a storage room, shower, breakfast service and other refreshments, ticket check-in and exchange for a wristband (SWAP) and TOP-UP credit top-up.
VIP Camp Kuželna - a smaller camp just 3 minutes from the main entrance. Due to technological constraints, facilities are limited to storage rooms. The ticket check-in and wristband exchange (SWAP) will be provided in close proximity to the main entrance. Shower facilities will be available in the large VIP Camp 1.
- places for your tents in the Camp Zone:
We have decided to change the originally announced Free Camp option to increase safety.
The CAMP ZONE will be fenced and with security guards who will only let in checked-in festival goers (you have to go through Swap first). The price for this service is a symbolic 50 CZK per person for the entire festival to cover set up costs.

Camping outside the officially approved areas is not allowed in Josefov this year and may be sanctioned.
Line-up Bands will play on two stages. Playing times will not overlap.

Covid
COVID info and festival entry conditions
Upon arrival to the festival site (including VIP camp), everyone must prove that one of the following conditions is met, attested by presenting a Covid pass or relevant medical papers:

In addition, everyone present must have a respirator on at all times without an exhalation valve of min. class FFP2 (KN95 / N95).

Before entering the premises, you will have the opportunity to undergo an antigen self-test at our testing point at the festival gate. For organizational and safety reasons, we will only accept self-tests carried out on site at our testing point, which will issue you with a confirmation of this test.

All persons who are covered by Czech public health can be tested at the expense of the insurance company. They must present their insurance card or a substitute document at the testing point. Persons insured in Czech Republic can be tested with an antigen test once every 7 days.

Persons not insured in Czech Republic will have to pay the amount of CZK 200 for the test (this price is set by the Ministry of Health) in cash. The possibility of a payment by card is still being processed and will be confirmed in the next couple of days.

In case of positivity, we will first perform 2 verification antigen tests so that we do not disqualify someone due to a faulty test. If the tests are positive, we will perform a confirmatory PCR test, which is usually evaluated within 24 hours.

A covid positive person will not be allowed into any festival premises without any compensation from the festival organizers.

However, please be advised that the capacity of this testing point will be very limited and there may be a time delay in receiving the test results if there is a heavy load. We therefore recommend that you use this testing option as an emergency and bring laboratory or medical test confirmation instead.

Participation in the event is prohibited for persons who show clinical signs of covid-19 or who do not meet the above conditions, with the exception of children under the age of 6.

The organizer of the event is obliged to check the fulfilment of the above-mentioned conditions upon the entry to the festival grounds and festival goers are obliged to prove the fulfilment of one of the above conditions; if someone fails to prove the fulfilment of the conditions (certificate, confirmation, identity document), the organizer is forbidden to admit such a person to the event.

Festival goers are obliged to observe increased hygiene measures in all areas, especially sufficient spacing and the use of respiratory protective equipment.

Visitors are also obliged to comply with other possible obligations and restrictions related to the current and effective legislation related to pandemic covid-19.

More detailed information can be found here: https://www.vlada.cz/en/media-centrum/aktualne/measures-adopted-by-the-czech-government-against-coronavirus-180545/

https://covid.gov.cz/en/situations/culture/festivals

Course of entry to the premises/camp:

1 Covid check - prepare a valid confirmation (see above) and a valid photo ID (ID card, driving license, passport).

2 After successfully completing the Covid check you can now go to SWAP (to exchange your ticket for a festival wristband), which will allow you to enter and stay at the festival without any problems.

Each visitor must check-in IN PERSON.

Cashless

Like Brutal Assault, JOSEFSTADT is a cashless event.

Your festival wristband serves as both an entrance ticket and a digital wallet that you can use to make purchases on the festival grounds. After checking in, you will receive a wristband with a chip, which you can charge (with cash or credit card) at TOP-UP. You then pay by simply attaching the chip to the point of sale device. You can request a refund of the balance after the event.

You can download a QR code (barcode) reader to your smartphone to check your spending or current balance. The QR code will be displayed after each purchase, re-charge, or when you check your balance.
