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.

Let It Roll stepped into the scene in the year of 2003 as a small club event. Fast forward to the present and you have the world's largest drum & bass festival.

Let It Roll stepped into the Czech music scene in the year of 2003 as a series of club events. Through the clubs it grew into larger winter happenings in factory spaces and quickly became one of the most favorite and visited events in Czech Republic. In 2008 the promoters decided to organize the first summer open air festival. More than 3000 visitors arrived to the first edition of Let It Roll Open Air in the Oplatil sand quarry close to the city of Pardubice. Everyone was thrilled by the amazing atmosphere that the festival offered. The next year visitor turnout doubled to more than 6000.


Let It Roll festival was just different from the very beginning. The unique original stage design, that changes every year, underlies the festival atmosphere and the whole-around experience to the maximum. After a few years - in 2010 - "Let It Roll" started to be heard about abroad and gained very noticable amount of international visitors and feedback as well. The phenomen started to spread and in 2011 and 2012 the 10 000 visitor bar was broken.

It was clear that things were getting serious when in 2013 and 2014 the bar was raised to more than 15 000 visitors daily from all around the globe and when the festival was awarded 'BEST FESTIVAL' by the prestigious Drum&BassArena Awards, 'BEST OVERSEAS PROMOTER / EVENT' by The National Drum & Bass Awards as well as continually winning the Czech Drum & Bass awards from their very beginning till the present.

Big changes came in 2015. The festival moved from its venue in Benešov to its new home in the former Russian air base Milovice. Everything had to be built from scratch but the festival's site options became nearly limitless. The amount of visitors hit more than 20 000 followed by the festival winning the "BEST FESTIVAL" award in Drum&BassArena Awards once again.

Let It Roll's status as the world’s biggest Drum & Bass festival is strengthened year upon year, with 2017 seeing its highest ever attendance with over 25,000 D&B heads. Awarded by the prestigious Drum&BassArena Awards as "Best Festival" again among with other awards from past years, National D&B Awards "Best Promoter" and years of winning local - Czech awards. In 2017, the festival also celebrated its 10th anniversary of an open air and things are moving forward.
