History

The original idea was to give bands from Prostějov a place to perform, which was not possible after the closure of the Apollo club. As soon as the opportunity to use the courtyard of the Prostějov Castle arose, organizer Lukáš Chlup immediately rented it from the city. The city had already placed a stage there permanently for the summer months. Chlup organized the first edition of the festival in 2022 on his own. He contacted his friends in the music industry and local bands.

The success of the festival convinced him that it was a valuable event, so he expanded the second edition in 2023. He invited more well-known Czech bands, including TRAGEDIS. After the second edition, Chlup assembled an organizational team. Jakub Švančar joined to handle international contacts, and Markéta Mazalová became the live manager. This allowed the festival to grow even further, and it has already confirmed BLAZE BAYLEY, the former singer of Iron Maiden, as the headliner for the 2024 edition.
