In the amphitheater Lochotín, it is beautifully alive with metal even today, the final day of the METALFEST OPEN AIR 2023 festival. Sunday is the rest day, but forget about some quiet rest here. Today belongs to wild fun, great music, and especially to all of you who arrived to the festival grounds today, or still plan to arrive. Shall we tempt you with today's first photo report? Take a look at the photos and have a nice day, friends…

You can get one-day tickets until 10 p.m. today at the festival ticket office near the amphitheater, if you're not here yet, come...

...from last night

We welcome you to the Lochotín amphitheater on the last, third day of the festival. Last night we spent here singing and dancing on a wild party with the tireless Finnish KORPIKLAANI, followed by a real "Bloody Heavy Metal Mass", as the preacher himself says, Attila Dorn from the wolf party POWERWOLF. During their fiery sermon, everyone present absorbed and embraced their spirit of metal, and this evening dark mass that POWERWOLF performed left everyone firmly believing in true heavy metal.

Today we continue with the third day. Look forward to another dive...

The second day of the METALFEST festival in Pilsen's Lochotín amphitheater is approaching its grand finale. The forest clan KORPIKLAANI is already rampaging on stage and slowly approaching today's grand finale! POWERWOLF are going to strengthen the metal faith in the hearts of you all tonight…listen to their fiery sermon and receive the sacrament of metal from them.

Take a look at the photos from this afternoon.

We wish you a pleasant festival evening.

We bring you the first photo report from today's sunny second day at the METALFEST OPEN AIR festival, in the Pilsen´s amphitheater Lochotín. The mood is great and the bands perform fantastically, if you're still hesitating, come and have fun!

Tickets are still available at the ticket office in front of the festival area...have a nice day, friends.

Yesterday, CNN Prima News aired a great short report, filmed yesterday at METALFEST in PILSEN, on the christening of a penguin by Chris Bay at the ZOO. Chris BAY composed and recorded the anthem for METALFEST, paying great tribute and praise to the festival. Watch the video and come see the festival. World metal stars take turns there until Sunday!

You can buy festival and one-day tickets in front of the festival area, at the festival ticket office.

Enjoy the day, friends.

Today METALFEST OPEN AIR in Pilsen amphitheater Lochotín continues with its second day, which will be in the sign of the brand new mega-show of the wolf pack POWERWOLF! Last night shined the devilish Swedish band AVATAR, which did not let the ears, eyes, legs, hands, head or brain rest. Their show was completely crazy and twisted and probably left no one in doubt as to who now rules the "world behind the mirror".

ARCH ENEMY then lit up the stage not only with lights and rich pyrotechnics, but mainly with their masterful and professional performance. The charming singer Alissa Whit...

Greetings from the first day of the metal festival METALFEST OPEN AIR, from sunny PILSEN! It's nice and relaxed, sun, metal, fun...we're announcing a small change in signing session program! Sweden's AVATAR would love to meet you all in the signing session tent today, from 21:30 to 22:00!

Thank you for your understanding and have a nice festival day.

...dedicated to this festival!

If a survey was commissioned to find out at which shows audiences are at their most boisterous, FREEDOM CALL would definitely be among the leading acts. The southern German melodic power metal band surrounding frontman and founder Chris Bay regularly leaves euphoric audiences in the wake of its shows, carried away by the group’s catchy songs and inspiring stage performance. And that's exactly what they managed to document at last year's METALFEST in PILSEN and preserve it forever thanks to CD and Blu-ray! A new release from FREEDOM CALL is called ...
