The organizers have already revealed the full lineup of bands that will play this year and their breakdown for each day. Unfortunately, there are a few changes to previous announcements, as several bands had to withdraw from participation and for this reason the organizers announced their replacements.
Certainly one of the biggest surprises is the absence of MY DYING BRIDE, who, recently announced problems within the group and canceled all their concerts scheduled for this year. Instead, we have their teachers, namely Swedish Doom Metal legends CANDLEMASS. American grindcore outfit PIG DESTROYER is also unable to make it to the Czech Republic this year for logistical reasons. Instead, the organizers have persuaded CEPHALIC CARNAGE to fly to Europe especially for this festival to play two different sets on two following days. We will hear the entire “Anomalies” album on one concert, while the other will feature the mix of songs from the remaining albums.
Other bands that had to withdraw from the festival are: AFTER THE BURIAL, DARKEST HOUR, DEVIL MASTER, SPIRIT WORLD and TEN56. Instead, the organizers have added the following bands to the lineup – as per below photo:
Warm-up day takes place on 6th August and will feature: ACID ROW, DEADROOTS, HELLRIPPER, IONS, LAID TO WASTE, MALLEPHYR and STELLVRIS. The breakdown for 4 main days is as follows:
Ticket passes for all days are now priced at 198 Euro and will be available until the end of May or until the batch is sold out (only 10% left). There are also passes for the youngest children, others for youngsters, and an additional ticket for the area on the edge of the two main stages located on the 8-meter high walls of the fortress (only 13% left). Tickets for one day are priced at 94 Euro.
There are only a few spots left for an overnight stay under the roof in a hotel or dormitory, along with the possibility of free transportation to the event (1x daily trips to the fest and back are included in the price).
