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. Let It Roll becomes bigger than ever with the new decade. 9 stages and more than 300 of drum & bass artists will be crammed into 3 days and nights of super charged raving, all set off by the most impressive stage designs, light displays and firework shows available.

The Kutná Hora International Music Festival is one of the most important chamber music festivals in the Czech Republic. The creator of the dramaturgy and the selection of artists is the artistic director - cellist Jiří Bárta.

Unfortunately, even this year 2021 is associated with covid uncertainty. Last year we managed to hold the festival, albeit on a shifted date, with drapes and all hygienic measures. We all hope and believe in the improvement of the situation, and that is why we are preparing another, already the 14th year of the Kutná Hora festival.

MFKH has become an inseparable part of cultural events in the city with high attendance from all over the Czech Republic and abroad. Since we could not invite foreign artists last year, we decided to move the performance of all of Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas in Konstantin Lifschitz's masterful interpretation to this year. This very significant work of art will be divided into 8 evenings. This increases the total number of chamber music concerts to 16 concerts. We believe that not only for Kutná Hora, this festival will be something truly exceptional this year. In addition to this important project, compositions of classical chamber literature by world-famous authors (Haydn, Mozart, Vivaldi, etc.) will be heard, as well as contemporary and rarely mentioned authors (Tartini, Barber, Kabeláč, Klusák, Górecki, etc.).

Jiří Bárta traditionally connects chamber music concerts and complements them with projects at the crossroads of genres. He included Bach's cantata Ich habe genug (I already have enough of everything) in the program of the 14th Kutná Hora festival for solo bass, oboe and strings connected with an epic poem by Arnošt Lustig performed by Vilma Cibulková, Jiří Lábus and Vilém Udatný entitled "Cantata - Dance of the Mad". The theme of the musical-lyrical band is death as liberation from a world permeated with misery and despair and is an indictment of the most horrific crime in human history.

During the two days of the festival, the city becomes a music center and as such introduces its visitors to jazz as originally non-European genre, which, however, has conquered all major musical stages in the world since its inception. In Slaný, top Czech and foreign musicians introduce themselves to the audience. The festival is intended not only for fans of jazz art, but also for the general public. The festival begins with the opening of the gates of the Grand City Center and the chapel of the Museum of National History in Slaný. Then begins a show of concerts with quality jazz, blues, soul, funky and other similarly tuned music, which can inspire both professionals and the lay music public every year.
