The 2008 Castle Fest offers a completely unique experience for metal fans and festival-goers in Europe. On one side, it is a heavy metal festival of the highest order - featuring the metal world's most prominent superstars, greatest legends, and most exciting new bands on two state-of-the-art stages. On the other hand, Castle Fest is an experience like no other – unfolding on the grounds of a breathtaking 15th century Byzantine fortress in the Serbian town of Smederevo. DarkPlanet is Castle Fest's official partner.
