Black Magnet (USA)
Black Magnet are pioneers of the new wave of American industrial metal. *Revolver* magazine aptly described their music as "grinding, searing, and metallic-mechanical"—and that is exactly how they come across live. Expect an aggressive sound, machine-like precision, razor-sharp riffs, and destructive intensity.
Black Magnet have released two full-length albums via the 20 Buck Spin label, while their latest effort, *Megamantra*, came out on Federal Prisoner. The band has shared the stage with acts like 3TEETH, Code Orange, and Chat Pile, and earlier this year, they toured the US with Author & Punisher.
Their lineup also features members of All Your Sisters, Destroyer Destroyer, and Greg Puciato’s backing band. Prepare for a truly heavy, guitar-driven industrial sound that crushes, pulses, and never lets up for a second.

Steve’n’Seagulls
The Finnish countryside is taking over Fléda! Steve’n’Seagulls are bringing metal back to roots you never even knew existed. Banjos, accordions, and uncompromising energy wrapped in a bluegrass package. Forget serious faces—this is a tractor ride straight into the mosh pit. September 4th in Brno!
Their journey from Finnish farms to the world’s biggest stages began with a viral cover of "Thunderstruck," but Steve’n’Seagulls quickly proved they were no one-hit wonder. Transforming the monumental riffs of Iron Maiden, AC/DC, or Metallica into organic arrangements featuring mandolin and double bass takes more than just a sense of humor—it requires precise musicianship. With albums like *Farm Machine* and *Grainsville*, they have established themselves as a band that effortlessly breaks down genre barriers and unites fans across the entire musical spectrum.

CAMOUFLAGE
The cult German band Camouflage is returning to the Czech Republic and Slovakia. After a year and a half, they will once again perform for their Czech and Slovak fans. Following the phenomenal success of their previous visit—which included a sold-out show in Prague and a total of three unique concerts—they are coming back. The band enjoys immense popularity among Czech and Slovak fans. Camouflage holds the status of a cult German electronic band, originally formed in 1983. This time, they will perform in Prague, Brno, and Pezinok. They will present their greatest hits—including the timeless "Love is a Shield," "The Great Commandment," and "Suspicious Love"—in fresh arrangements. The setlist will also offer a retrospective of their work spanning an incredible forty-two years, alongside new tracks from their upcoming album. A highlight of this tour is the visual component, featuring special video projections on large LED screens. The band returns energized by the incredible feedback from audiences and long-time fans alike. They have spent two years successfully touring arenas, clubs, and festivals—not only in their homeland but also in the Baltic states, Poland, and, of course, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, where they command a massive following. This enthusiastic reception serves as a key driving force for the band, who are delighted by the tremendous interest in their music.
Devil Master (USA) + Solomonar
Rising once more from the darkest, filthiest streets of old Philadelphia, Devil Master return to corrupt the children of light with their third album, *Bloody Dreams*. This new Relapse Records release leans further into punk and occasionally delves into psychedelia, yet remains enveloped in the savage aura of raw black metal. The album was produced by Davis M. Shubs and Grammy-nominated sound engineer Eric Bogacz, who imbued the record with a dark, hypnotic sound. A raw black metal-punk ecstasy of blasphemy and existential dread!
Solomonar is a new occult metal-punk band from Brno, inspired by romantic vampirism, morbid visions, the omnipresence of death, mysticism, and heavy drinking.

Barbara Kanyzová Trio
A new musical trio led by Ostrava-based singer, composer, and lyricist Barbara Kanyzová presents her current work in an intimate setting.
Together with Jan Kubín (keyboards) and Štěpán Váňa (double bass), they form a balanced ensemble grounded in authenticity and sensitive musical expression. Collectively, they create a space for poetry, intimacy, and the artist's personal expression.
After a two-year hiatus, Metastavy are returning to the stage and will perform on September 9th at Kabinet MÚZ in Brno!
The band Metastavy consists of Anna Hokešová, Ursula Sereghy, Ashley Abrman, Marek Pach, and Nodin Péči. Their music blends neo-soul, jazz, hip-hop, and poetry. In her lyrics, Anna Hokešová explores themes of growing up in the city, love, and navigating life while holding onto dreams.
Their music transports the listener to the space between everyday reality and the hazy atmosphere of city days—illuminated by traffic lights, nighttime shop windows, and streetlamps. Faces, trams, and vague memories of earlier versions of the world emerge from the melodies.
Metastavy formed in 2018 and gained recognition with their debut album *Až vyrostu* (2019); their second album, *Žhnoucí ticho*, was released in 2023.
The Queues (Baptism) + The Landmine Spring + Chora Sfakion
THE QUEUES
This bearded brotherly duo from Znojmo—whose combined height nears four meters—blends influences from garage rock, lo-fi, punk, and stoner rock with the power of a full-sized band. They successfully translate their signature live energy into their recordings: vocal lines complement distorted guitar riffs—underpinned by bass from a separate amp—which, together with drums often built on machine-like, repetitive beats, form a tight, cohesive whole.
THE LANDMINE SPRING
At the turn of the millennium, The Landmine Spring became a benchmark for indie/emo hardcore. Their sound—influenced by bands like the American acts Quicksand or Texas is the Reason—always remained distinctive. To this day, it bears the authentic stamp of that era, a time when it was not unusual for The Landmine Spring to share the stage with the cult band Fugazi.
CHORA SFAKION
This young post-punk band from Znojmo released their excellent debut album, *Féerie*, last year. A defining characteristic of the band is the unmistakable delivery of singer and primary lyricist Michaela Frindová; her urgent vocals and stage energy make her a superb frontwoman. Dreamy vocals, shoegaze-style distorted guitars, drums that feel almost searing, and basslines that repeat like a mantra. Spoken word, sharp cymbals, screaming, and catchy melodies. Chora Sfakion draw the audience into the action of stories—both fictional and well-known—that captivate with their sheer intensity.
eversame + your somber eyes
Eversame is a young 4-piece band active since 2022. Their genre diversity ranges from emo to shoegaze, combined with their raw, dreamy and melancholic energy. Thanks to this, they gained attention not only in Slovakia. Their discography consists of two studio albums "tell me where the flowers are" and their latest LP "LOVE ENDS FAST, AND NEVER." Since they have been active on the scene, they have managed to play at festivals such as Pohoda and Rock for People, as well as concerts with bands such as Horse Jumper of Love or Sport. Few groups can create such a strong and intimate bond between band and audience as Eversame.
your somber eyes is a representative of the new wave of Czech shoegaze. Their work oscillates between melancholic post-rock and ambient atmosphere, which they combine with intense guitar parts full of emotions. Their discography consists of the introspective debut EP "Reaching in the Dark" and the more recent single "Bonemarrow", but they often play unreleased songs at concerts.
Folimanka Blues Band + Bohyně z Volyn

They will perform at the renowned Metro Music Bar, supported by the fantastic band Bohyně z Volyně.

JFB: Snarky Puppy
For some listeners, jazz is an introverted, intimate genre that seems to require a degree in musicology just to appreciate. Yet, many musicians turn such notions completely on their head—among them, the members of the Snarky Puppy "family."
When Michael League founded Snarky Puppy at the University of North Texas in 2003, he did so—paradoxically—because he had failed to make the cut for any of the school's official ensembles. Little did he know then that this humble student project would evolve into a five-time Grammy Award winner and one of today’s most influential instrumental bands. From the start, the group defied categorization; League himself describes their sound as a "street-bred hybrid" that naturally blends jazz sophistication with the energy of funk, rock, and soul. Success, however, did not come overnight; the musicians spent their first decade endlessly touring in battered vans and playing for handfuls of people in obscure clubs.
Béton Armé (CAN) + Remdik (SK)
Béton Armé is a punk/Oi! band from Montreal, Canada, formed in 2018.

A traditional event hosted by friends of Bastl Instruments—a celebration of more than just modular synths, creativity, and community. Expect pure musical exploration and live experiments. Come and be part of the organic energy of the local electronic scene.
hackedepicciotto (DE)
hackedepicciotto (DE)
The musical and life partners Alexander Hacke and Danielle de Picciotto are returning to Kabinet MÚZ with their new album, *Lichtung*!

He has previously performed in Brno with the project The Ministry Of Wolves, alongside Danielle de Picciotto, Mick Harvey (formerly of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds), and Paul Wallfisch (formerly of Swans). However, Hacke’s body of work extends far beyond that; in addition to Neubauten and his solo material, he has collaborated with The Tiger Lillies, Crime & the City Solution, Wovenhand, and dozens of other acts.

Bite The Sun + Halo Of The Sun + Dream Of The Sun
SUNFEST is not a festival in the traditional sense. It is a gathering of like-minded bands united not only by the sun symbolism in their names but, above all, by a shared emphasis on a modern take on heavy music, a distinctive atmosphere, and a unique creative approach.
BITE THE SUN (alternative metalcore)
Hailing from Brno, Bite the Sun deliver a blend of atmospheric metalcore, striking melodies, and heavy riffs. Their live shows are known for their focus on the audiovisual experience and a cinematic atmosphere, enhanced by projections and an elaborate stage show. The band’s motto, "Drop tunings, not bombs," perfectly encapsulates their approach to music.
Kladno-based Halo of the Sun has established a solid foothold in the local progressive metalcore scene over the past few years. Their sound combines technical precision, melodic passages, and modern production. In early 2026, they released the EP *Hyperconnected*, which thematically explores the loss of identity, the pressures of the digital world, and internal conflicts.
Prague’s Dream of the Sun builds its sound on a melancholic atmosphere, personal lyrics, and raw energy. They combine catchy choruses with heavy passages, merging influences from the modern metal scene—incorporating electronics and atmosphere—with the energy and directness of old-school nu-metal.
Are you ready for a massive dose of energy? In the autumn of 2026, SMACK ONE is heading to Brno and Ostrava with an exclusive club show, promising an unforgettable atmosphere, his biggest hits, and a night of uncompromising rap.

Birds In Row (FR)
The French trio Birds In Row blurs the lines between raw screamo-punk and atmospheric post-hardcore. There is no calculation here—only pure emotional catharsis built on abrasive guitars and neurotic vocals. At Brno’s Kabinet MÚZ, they will showcase their latest album, *Gris Klein*. An intense club experience is guaranteed for fans of bands like Touché Amoré or Converge.
Hailing from Laval, France, the band has risen to the very top of the European independent guitar music scene since its formation in 2009. For years, they were associated with the iconic label Deathwish Inc., releasing genre-defining milestones such as *You, Me & The Violence* and *We Already Lost the World* under its banner. Birds In Row have built a reputation as a band that rejects genre clichés; while their sound is firmly rooted in the legacy of acts like Fugazi or Modern Life Is War, it also possesses a modern post-metal drive and a sense of heavy melancholy.
Friday Night Fever
Friday Night Fever is a Friday party at Metro Music Bar. DJ Cuba6 will be playing.
MATE RADI HADI
There were five of them, then one more. The snakes slither gracefully through Brno’s clubs to the thumping kick drum, the scream of sharp guitars, and the moaning of honey-sweet synths. An effort to sound sophisticated—even mature—clashing with the reckless swagger of young bucks, leaves them grappling with the dilemma of defining their own existence on Earth. But that’s not really the point at all. The main thing is that your mom digs it.
ANDROMEDIK (LIR)
Brno, get ready for a massive blast! Club Fléda is set for a night to remember.

The newly formed Tata Bojs played their first concert on June 29, 1988, in the TJ Spartak Dejvice gymnasium.

Good Times Only (křest) + teige
The Prague-based band Good Times Only (GTO) is releasing its third full-length album, *Tohle mi ještě nikdy nikdo nedělal*. Unlike their previous records—*Pěkný chvíle* (2020) and *Teď na to myslim* (2023)—GTO has now embraced a path of creative and studio freedom, working without a dedicated producer. While they collaborated with Jakub Kaifosz (Lazer Viking, Wild Tides) on their first two releases, the creation of the new tracks involved only occasional production consultations with Nikola Šolaja (Kvietah, Atomy Nevadí), who otherwise serves as the mixing engineer.
Teige is an alternative-pop band based in Prague. Originally a trio, the group expanded into a five-piece ensemble and released its debut album, *květiny nonstop*, in the autumn of 2025. The record earned the band—originally from Kutná Hora—a nomination for "Discovery of the Year" at the Vinyla Music Awards and received a positive reception from music critics.

On her eighth studio album, she guides listeners through the next chapter of her life. A deep dive into personal doubts and an analysis of romantic relationships remain the core ingredients of this new batch of songs. Millennials—forever in a state of coming-of-age—may well recognize themselves in certain generational dilemmas, such as societal pressure to start a family or a reluctance to fully succumb to the trap known as adulthood.

The legendary band Dunaj is celebrating its 40th anniversary, while the B-Side Band marks its 20th. Together, they will celebrate a combined "sixty years" on this special evening. Birthday guests will include Petr Váša, Jiří Hradil, and others.
This unique project fuses an alternative chapter of Czech music history with the rich, expansive sound of the B-Side Band’s horn section—one of today’s most outstanding big bands.
Dunaj—a band with a distinctive signature style, poetic sensibility, and a sound that never pandered to trends—steps into a new context here. Familiar tracks take on a new dimension, gaining greater dynamics, a broader soundscape, and a tension born from the interplay of two distinct musical worlds, effectively creating a "Dunaj Big Band."
The B-Side Band brings precision arrangements, the power of a horn section, and extensive experience with large-scale projects. Yet, this is not merely accompaniment; it is a full-fledged fusion where intricate detail, groove, and the sheer force of a big band converge.
One evening. A unique lineup. One chance to experience it.
Kristián Šebek and Slawinski Orchestra
Kristián Šebek has twice sold out Prague’s Lucerna Hall with his musical project "Můj vzor, Božský Karel" (My Idol, the Divine Karel), and his concerts across the country have been completely sold out for two years running! This year, he is embarking on a tour accompanied by the Slawinski Orchestra, featuring songs you have never heard him perform before and visiting venues where he has never appeared until now!
Audiences can look forward to everything they have come to expect from his concerts. The repertoire will include not only the most famous melodies of his idol, Karel Gott—such as "Stokrát chválím čas," "Lady Karneval," and "Jdi za štěstím"—but also hits by other Czech and international legends like Waldemar Matuška, Frank Sinatra, Jiří Korn, and Elvis Presley. There will also be melodies from films and fairy tales—all perfectly arranged for his orchestra.
