First metal festival in Lithuania Devilstone Open Air means three days of music with devils in nature and will take place in Dainuva valley – Anyksciai, Lithuaniain in the middle of July, 17-19. Devilish feast on the bank of the river: three days of metallic uproar, headlined by Sepultura, and head-banging together with the grands of metal scene – Keep of Kalessin, Code and Sinister – in the Devilstone Open Air, also featuring Lithuanian metal elite and other extreme acts..It is the debuting edition of the Lithuanian metal festival, where twenty bands are confirmed for three concerts. The variety of metal styles as well as bands’ geography is wide enough – from Brazil through Europe to Jordan, not bypassing the traditional metal music nest – Scandinavia, for sure.
The Devilstone Open Air will take place in small but cute, cosy and historical Anyksciai town, offering much authentic sightseeing, as well as modern amusement. Find alternative/extreme culture in the context of local ancient heritage – this is the festival’s concept, inspired by Anyksciai town legend: “...devil had been carrying a huge rock above the town, aiming to crush the church, but he dropped the stone wherever to its fate as the cock scared him away at the break of dawn...”Thus festival mission is far reaching. Beside the three big metal concerts it will offer a rich cultural program: Night Rocktheques, Volleyball matches, specially arranged Excursion round the town, and more. Camping ground will be based right there along the river. Swimming, football, fresh air – overall place is grateful for natural attractions and devilish feast…
