The French band Fuzz Top was founded in 2010 and interprets the work of the southern legend ZZ Top (Heuston, Texas, USA). ZZ Top founded and defined the southern style of rock based on Texas blues. According to experts, Fuzz Top is the most faithful copy of ZZ Top today and they perform in large halls all over the world. The band's style is faithful to the original songs, rhythm and solo guitar riffs are reproduced to the note, the repertoire consists of ZZ Top's greatest hits from 1969 to the present. The musicians use keyboard sequences as on the original for songs from 1979 to 1990. The band members are indistinguishable from ZZ Top visually, and the stage and video projection of the concerts are easily confused with the original. And the original - ZZ Top fans will probably no longer hear in Europe, as ZZ Top has recently been performing mainly on the North American continent.

Percussion instruments are available for rent on site. Come and get carried away by the rhythm. The tradition of this celebratory drumming event arose spontaneously 20 years ago, when the most anticipated "end of the world" did not come on Saturday, December 22, 2012. About 30 people came to Brno's Café Práh to express their joy at the fact that our beautiful blue planet continues on its journey through the Universe by drumming. Since then, this celebratory event of playing djembe and similar instruments has been held regularly - always on Tuesdays closest to the spring and autumn equinoxes and the summer and winter solstices. For those who do not own instruments, Martin Maleček - owner of the Masada company and Marek Pečer - organizer of the Krumlov Djembe Marathon - will bring them for rent. On Tuesday, December 20, 2022, the last 41 meetings took place in the designated 10-year period since the "end of the world" organized by Vilda Dvořák, and for the following periods, Marek Pečer took over this drumming at Café Práh.

Betonovej Bez – a Brno plant with a thirty-year tradition and peculiar roots reaching back to musty basements.

OUR OWN LYRICS RULES deal very cheerfully with generally serious issues of human existence, here and there you will find something sadder. Nedělní lidé – a Czech-Moravian-Hungarian quintet oscillating on the border of minimalism, noise and punk-jazz foundations. Since 2004 they have released a total of three studio albums (Nedělní lidé – 2005, self-published; Hnětetěto – 2008, Ears&Wind Records; Polaskaki – 2011, Polí5), which received positive reviews and media coverage.

Lubomír BUŽMA Khýr, hráč na akustickou kytaru, dobro kytaru, banjo a foukací harmoniku se věnuje akustické bluesové muzice s českými texty. Repertoár tvoří z velké části vlastní písničky a také tradice a gospely s originálními úpravami textů do češtiny. Své bohaté zkušenosti ze společného hraní s polským bluesmanem Markem Wojtowiczem a následného desetiletého působení v duetu Retro Blues, kde se autorsky i interpretačně traduje v polovině repertoáru souboru a přináší řadu také společného vystupování a hraní s Pepou Streichlem dnes bohatě využívá nejen ve studiu, ale zejména na vystoupeních živých. Tento bluesman s banjem na klíně, foukací harmonikou ve stojánku v ústech, s pravou nohou na ozvučené dřevěné krabici a s tamburínou na levé noze nejen vypadá, ale i skutečně zní originálně, zejména když při tom zpívá jednu ze svých písniček ve slezském nářečí.
