Metalheads, MASTERS OF ROCK 2026 is a past. We would like to thank you all for the absolutely wonderful atmosphere that you were able to create in the “Jelínek´s” area and thanks to which this festival has long been one of the most popular in our country, not only for fans from all over the world, but also for the performing metal stars who return here with undisguised enthusiasm. We often hear that going to “Masters” is like coming home, where a warm welcome always awaits. Friends, you are the ones who write the history of “Masters” and chapter number 22 was absolutely breathtaking, thank ...

... který ovládli HELLOWEEN, Udo DIRKSCHNEIDER a KISSIN´DYNAMITE. Mrkněte.

HELLOWEEN je obrovská legenda, která, ač vládne metalovému světu už neuvěřitelných 40 let, nestárne. Stále tvoří novou muziku a cestuje po celém světě, kde úspěšně šíří svou dýňovou slávu…Tomáš Kraus zpovídal Kaie Hansena a Michaela Weikatha na MASTERS OF ROCK. K poutavému rozhovoru si pozval také tolik oblíbenou kapelu KISSIN´DYNAMITE, jejíž zpěvák, Hannes Braun se na „Masters“ velmi emotivně loučil se svou kariérou na postu zpěváka. Pokud jste reportáž neviděli, koukněte na ni tady a teď....

MASTERS OF ROCK 2026 is a past, but before you head home or crawl into your sleeping bags or duvets with a feeling of happiness after completely fulfilling your need for metal in life, we are sending you photo greetings from the famous monsters LORDI and the brutal villains SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL. It was a thunderous ride, what do you think?

We wish you a pleasantly chilling audio-visual experience from the premiere performance of the famous MARILYN MANSON at “Masters”. May it be a show that will not only go down in t...

...from this afternoon, so here they are.

MASTERS OF ROCK 2026 is inexorably approaching its end. Let's go back to this afternoon, which was marked by modern metal from the German ENEMY INSIDE and pleasant musical therapy from the legendary THE GATHERING on the 30th anniversary of their cult album "Mandylion" (1995). It was, in one word, charming.

Thank you, metalheads, for being here and creating such a great atmosphere, under any conditions.

Have a great evening!

...from today's concerts!

Sunday at MASTERS OF ROCK started with a whole series of interesting concerts. You saw the bands MATANZICK, LUNARSEA, KIMURA, GUILTERA, and before the natural elements struck, the Swedish band CRUCIFIED BARBARA also managed to play part of the concert.

Then the festival program had to be interrupted for a while due to the weather and a widespread power outage, but ENEMY INSIDE were able to start their set again and the festival continues!

Let's hope that the weather will no longer be scary and will leave this role to more qualified people....

The MASTERS OF ROCK festival is going to the finale. The final day is here, so get as much metal energy as you can handle. We are also sending you a video from yesterday, which was again very successful! Thanks to metalheads for being here, you are what give this festival its uniqueness.

Tickets for the festival grand finale in the form of very nourishing concerts by LORDI, SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL and MARILYN MANSON can still be purchased at the festival ticket offices or in the Ticketportal network.

The storm in the region has shut down all power grids and for this reason the Masters of Rock festival has some restrictions at this moment. We have just put the main stage, which runs on generators, into operation, so the program on the main Ronnie James Dio Stage should continue as planned. Unfortunately, the storm hit the performance of the Swedes Crucified Barbara and their show had to be ended. However, the girls are looking forward to seeing you again next year. The second stage, stands and other things that run on the fixed el. network will start up as soon as the fault is fixed. The...

Friends, thieves were also rampaging at the MASTERS OF ROCK festival, but thanks to the successful intervention of the Čechymen security agency in cooperation with the Czech police, the perpetrators were arrested. This is an international gang, focusing mainly on stealing mobile phones. We hereby ask all victims who have lost their phones to come to the Czech Police District Department in Vizovice, at Slušovská 425, as soon as possible.

Thank you.

 from the performance of the stellar ARCH ENEMY and the wild youngsters NECKBREAKKER.

Admit it, who dreamed of the unbridled beauty Lauren Hart tonight? Yesterday's show of the Swedish death metal icon was amazing! The mature and experienced matadors of the world metal scene invited the young and attractive Lauren to join them and last night they held their concert premiere in our country with this new and fresh face and a distinctive, unusual voice with great success. ARCH ENEMY thus started another chapter of their rich musical career last night at "Masters".

The very...

...and early evening!

The afternoon program at MASTERS OF ROCK was well packed and all the performing bands tirelessly poured so much energy into you that it doesn't seem like the third day of an almost non-stop party in the audience at all.

Check out the photos that beautifully color all the strong, often breathtaking experiences that you create at the festival. The afternoon belonged to the Italian folk-metal band ELVENKING, then to Gavin Dunne and his band MIRACLE OF SOUND, who received a truly thunderous ovation from you. The legendary PRIMAL FEAR also deservedly earned ...

MASTERS OF ROCK – day three. Saturday's program was kicked off by the always great rockers GATE CRASHER and they really started it off on a high note. One interesting band after another takes turns on the main Ronnie James Dio Stage. The bands LORDS OF TRIDENT, MELODIUS DEITE, SELF DECEPTION, DOCTOR P.P. and HAMMER KING have already played their shows there. We have photos for you.

The fans are having fun and the festival area is filled with complete peace and joy from the metal treat that this year's "Masters" has brought.

The festival continues again today until late a...

Metalheads, yesterday was great again at "Masters"! The atmosphere was relaxed, the mood was excellent and not even a short thunderstorm deterred anyone and everyone was going wild! All the bands gave excellent, and what's more, absolutely precise performances and you add uniqueness to them with your warm welcome and enthusiasm! You are great!

The third festival day is in full swing. Enjoy and have fun.

... one last photo report from yesterday evening. Here it is. Good morning VIZOVICE!

With your morning coffee and to kick off the third festival day at MASTERS OF ROCK, we are sending you a photo memory of yesterday's extremely successful conclusion of the second festival day.

IN FLAMES, an incredibly impressive, well-thought-out show and fine-tuned down to the last detail, an incredibly strong audio-visual experience that has been permanently etched in everyone's hearts. IN FLAMES clearly demonstrated why they have been at the absolute top of the world melodic death metal s...

We're sending you another batch of photos.

That was a blast, what do you think? The CAVALERA brothers really didn't take it lightly. The brutal power of famous hits, not only from the cult album "Chaos A.D.", sent a pretty clear message to the clouds and put a stop to today's often merciless sun. It was a luxurious massacre under the unique CAVALERA brand, which never disappoints. The fresh evening was a musical treat for rock and romantic metalheads. The famous hitmakers THE RASMUS from the land of a thousand lakes conjured up thousands of smiles and a very pleasant atmosphere in the...

This afternoon at the “Masters” is marked by stormy performances. On the main stage, the Ronnie James Dio Stage, the sensational BRAINSTORM kicked things off, after which you could jump into a beautifully absurd metal universe and feel the power of metal in the fantastic story of the iconic hero ANGUS McSIX and his loyal band. VISIONS OF ATLANTIS then took you on their refreshing journey, to the stormy seas, where you could swing on the mighty waves of symphonic metal or participate in a powerful metal raid led by the beautiful pirate queen Clémentine Delauney and the fearless captain Miche...

We have more photos!

MASTERS OF ROCK has fully launched its second festival day and the bands SYMFOBIA, CHONTARAZ, KING SATAN, ARCTIS and W.E.B. have already put on their literally fiery shows. Take a look at the photos and enjoy the unique atmosphere!

The festival continues exactly as planned and tonight's finale will be organized by the famous northerners THE RASMUS and IN FLAMES. For both bands, it is their "Masters" premiere, so show them how unbeatable audience you are and that the reputation that precedes you does not lie at all.

Be there! For those of you wh...

... and AD INFINITUM? Here's a little photo memory.

HELLOWEEN or Heavy Metal Is The Law. So, how did you enjoy HELLOWEEN at "Masters" yesterday? Did this legendary band manage to take your breath away? As always? HELLOWEEN is simply a big name. This fantastic group of master musicians has created a completely unique metal universe, into which they draw everything that comes close. Last night they managed to make the hearts of almost all fans who didn't miss this 40th anniversary show beat strongly. We simply love this nice metal black hole. Check out the photos and mark the date 10. 6...

...MARKO HIETALA, KISSIN´DYNAMITE and DIRKSCHNEIDER!

MASTERS OF ROCK in VIZOVICE is going on even under the hot sun and other star bands presented their really hot shows.

You saw the legendary thrashers VOIVOD, a nice guy with a unique voice and character MARKO HIETALA, a very emotional and extraordinary show in every way by the German KISSIN´ DYNAMITE led by singer Hannes Braun, for whom this was the very last foreign live performance here at the “Masters” and of course the always incredibly strong and always exceptional Udo with his band DIRKSCHNEIDER celebrating the 40th ...

VIZOVICE and distillery R. Jelínek is experiencing a successful first festival day. The weather is good, a diverse mix of metal bands are taking turns on stage and the fans are having a great time. There is only one "Masters". Check out today's first photos.

FLERETs started it all off with a bang and then it was on in quick succession. CURSE OF CAIN performed an absolutely fantastic, very impressive show, full of various effects and costumes, ART NATION presented their power melodic metal in its best form and AGENT STEEL surpassed even the power of the sun with their metal energy....

nd it's here! Crowds of excited fans have already passed through or run through the gates to the festival area. The supply of festival CDs for the first 10,000 fans is dwindling and the festival shop is already very busy. Stop by as soon as possible while there's plenty to choose from!

The home folk-rock legend FLERET made an absolutely great start to this year's festival. So we can happily announce that this year's MASTERS OF ROCK festival has begun!

Welcome, friends, and enjoy the first day of the festival to the fullest!

And if you're not here and would like...
