Accreditations for the 2025 edition will open at the beginning of May and close at the end of June. Exact dates will be specified in due time.

Basic requirements for accreditation:

• Continuous coverage of Brutal Assault in your media outlet.
• A minimum coverage of 50% of issued press releases; press releases and materials can be found below. We also send press releases via email. If you are not on the mailing list, please contact koudelova@obscure.cz.
• At least 3 original articles.
• Continuous coverage on social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) – and subsequently, during your accreditation request, provide links as proof of shared materials.
• If the media outlet does not have social media, the media’s reach must be documented.
• For questions, please contact koudelova@obscure.cz.

Please apply for accreditation only once. If there are multiple requests from the same media outlet, use one contact person and only one contact email.

Interview requests are only handled through the accreditation system this year. Interview requests submitted in other ways will not be considered. Please do not conduct interviews independently – interviews must be scheduled in a time slot and space that suits the band. You will be informed in due time whether your interview requests have been approved or denied.

Accredited media agree to provide all their coverage of the festival (after their own publication) to the Brutal Assault team. The materials should be sent to koudelova@obscure.cz no later than October 30.

Submitting a request does not automatically guarantee accreditation approval, as each request must first be reviewed. Meeting the outlined criteria will be an important factor in evaluating all accreditation requests for Brutal Assault and in prioritizing interviews with performing bands in our Press zone.

If your accreditation is approved, you must print out your confirmation and bring it along with a valid ID card or passport. Festival wristbands will be issued at the Press accreditation window (near the main entrance) upon presenting these documents.

On-site, there will be a PRESS ZONE available for you, equipped with basic facilities, Wi-Fi, and charging stations for your electronic devices. A schedule of interviews and space to conduct them will also be available there.

As part of the accreditation, you will have access to the festival grounds, and possibly a photo pass. Accreditation does not include access to camping, backstage, parking, or the VIP tribune due to limited capacities.

Please keep in mind that Brutal Assault receives a huge number of accreditation requests every year, and it is simply not possible to accommodate all of them. The same applies to photo passes – the space in front of the stage is limited. After we process requests from our long-term media partners, we will begin reviewing all other requests.

Please note that the organizers reserve the right to deny any accreditation due to missed deadlines, failure to meet the required criteria, or submitting multiple requests without further explanation. If your request is not approved for this year's edition, please don’t hold it against us.
