The story

Masters of Rock Vizovice in Vizovice

Masters of Rock began in 2003 on the grounds of the R. Jelinek distillery in the small Moravian town of Vizovice, drawing around seven thousand fans to a two-day power and heavy metal event. It has since grown to four days and tens of thousands of attendees from more than thirty countries, with a main stage named for Ronnie James Dio since 2010 and a roster including Judas Priest, Motorhead and Nightwish.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Few metal festivals anywhere are staged on a working distillery's own grounds: Masters of Rock has run since 2003 at R

02

The mystery stays covered

Jelinek, the Moravian producer of slivovitz, giving the event a rural, small-town character distinct from the industrial or airfield venues used by comparable Czech festivals

03

The city starts moving

The main stage has carried Ronnie James Dio's name since 2010, a lasting tribute rather than a one-off gesture

04

The water draws everyone in

Its roster over two decades, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Slayer, Dream Theater, Nightwish, Manowar and many others, reflects a deliberate focus on power, speed and classic heavy metal rather than the extreme or death metal styles other Czech festivals lean toward
