Colours of Ostrava is an international, multi-genre music festival organised annually in Ostrava since 2002. In 2012, the festival was moved to the entrancing surroundings of Dolní Vítkovice – an area that used to belong to metallurgical works, mines and ironworks. We are a free and independent festival for free and independent artists and festivalgoers. We don’t subscribe to any genre and are only open to showcasing sensitive, dynamic as well as uplifting projects with a similar philosophy to our own.

Czech Music Crossroads is an international conference and a showcase festival. An international platform attended by the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and a guest country. Carefully selected bands focusing on local roots, acoustic music, folk, fusion and jazz perform for international audience of invited professionals, promoters and journalists. Two best groups will be awarded The Czech Music Crossroads Award.
The showcase selection is not restricted to new talent, but aimed in general at artists who can easily cross the language barrier, regardless of the length of professional experience. The bands are selected by experts of each corresponding country.
Exporting music is the focal point of the conference, which also includes discussions about present-day musical or social topics. Experts from around the world will train musicians and showcase performers from the participating countries at interactive workshops on how to win recognition in the international competition; they will also provide practical advice for their musical careers. International producers, music reviewers and experts in music distribution will act as lecturers – those with long-term experience in distributing Czech recordings on the international market. Speed dating is another activity typical for international events. International experts and/or festival organisers can be consulted by registered local artists or managers at one-to-one meetings to receive advice on strategy and artistic growth.

Atmospheric folk death, black, black death, blackened pagan, black punk, dark, death, death doom, death thrash, doom, electronic industrial, thrash,... styles nicely alphabetized. The common denominator is extreme metal, which we will serve in these forms at ETEF 2020.
ETEF is a living community, no blind shots. We have almost zero record of changes in festival lineup. What you see on the poster is what you see and hear onstage in the summer. We don't hunt "extra-league" headliners. These belong to Brutals, Wackens and similar "Hellfests." However, an exciting lineup of bands that can perform qualitatively in even the toughest competition is already guaranteed…

Mácháč is one of the most important dance open air festivals in the Czech Republic.
The magic combination of nature, dance music and beautiful scenery on the shore of Macha Lake with a sandy beach is exactly what makes the festival unique atmosphere and soon became the most visited event of electronic dance music in the Czech Republic. At the same time, we are the only festival that has a main stage located directly on the water.
The first year of the festival took place in 1999 and over 250 000 visitors have visited it throughout its history. During these years, stars like Tiësto, Hardwell, Armin van Buuren, Axwell, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, W&W, Dada Life, Carl Cox, Paul van Dyk, Ferry Corsten and many others have alternated here at sunrise and sunset.
