The story

Fajtfest in Velké Meziříčí

Fajtfest has run since 2009 on Fajtuv kopec, Fajt Hill, near Velke Mezirici, building a hardcore, metalcore, nu-metal and metal festival that has hosted hundreds of bands across nearly two decades. Now well into its second decade, the festival has maintained a close, intimate atmosphere between visitors, bands and organisers even as it has grown into a recognised Central European hard-music festival.

Fajtfest has run since 2009 on Fajtuv kopec, Fajt Hill, a rural site just outside Velke Mezirici that has become a regular annual meeting place for Czech and international fans of hard music genres, primarily hardcore, metalcore, nu-metal and metal, drawing an audience specifically built around that guitar-driven, aggressive musical cluster rather than a broader multi-genre lineup.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Few festivals in the hardcore and metalcore space have sustained as many consecutive annual editions as Fajtfest has, a durability rare within a genre scene that sees many smaller festivals discontinue after only a handful of years

02

The mystery stays covered

Its rural hilltop venue, Fajt Hill, has become synonymous with the festival itself among Czech hard-music fans, giving the event a distinctive sense of place tied to a specific, named piece of local geography rather than a generic festival ground

03

The city starts moving

Maintaining a deliberately close atmosphere between visitors, bands and organisers, even as attendance has grown to thousands per edition, reflects an intentional organisational choice rather than a byproduct of remaining small
