Devilstone in Anyksciai
Devilstone, or Velnio Akmuo, built a strong reputation as one of the Baltic region's leading heavy metal festivals in the scenic Dainuva valley near Anyksciai, drawing international and Lithuanian metal acts across a multi-day camping festival tied to local devil-boulder folklore. Programming spanned traditional heavy metal through death and black metal to more experimental rock and electronic acts, drawing international touring bands to a riverside camping site over four days each edition.
In the Dainuva valley outside Anyksciai, where the Sventoji River cuts through a landscape already steeped in local legend, Devilstone grew from a small gathering in 2009 into one of the most respected heavy metal festivals in the Baltic region before running for roughly a decade and a half.
