Winter Masters of Rock Rises from the Ashes
ACCEPT are set to shake Zlín's Datart Arena to its foundations as they celebrate half a century on the scene! After a one-year break, the winter edition of the Vizovice metal festival is returning to the place where its roots lie. On Saturday, 5 December 2026, Sportovní hala Datart in Zlín will be transformed into an uncompromising metal inferno. The 20th edition has one clear headline attraction: 50 years of the German heavy metal machine ACCEPT.
German heavy metal veterans ACCEPT will bring their most spectacular stage production yet to Zlín, both visually and sonically. Alongside a journey through their entire discography and a live barrage of their most famous riffs, they are also preparing brand-new songs from a special anniversary album, due for release at the end of the year. It will be an evening when the history of heavy metal won't simply be celebrated – it will be written all over again.
The organisers haven't put all their eggs in the headliner's basket, either. They've assembled a lineup designed to keep the arena rocking without a moment's pause.
Joining the German legends will be melodic metal band DYNAZTY, whose popularity in the Czech Republic has skyrocketed in recent years as they continue to conquer one stage after another. The energetic H.E.A.T will deliver a hefty dose of pure hard rock and onstage madness, while American band NILE will unleash an authentic death metal assault for fans of relentless blast beats and technical extremity.
Speed metal outfit ENFORCER will bring fast-paced energy and old-school riffs, while RIVET SKULL will represent the American school of no-nonsense rock. Rounding out the day's genre-spanning lineup are the melodic sound of SECRET RULE, the darker tones of EVOLUCIJA and Swiss symphonic metal band DEEP SUN.
The festival's 20th anniversary will therefore offer a cross-section of everything that keeps heavy music alive – from classic anthems to uncompromising underground sounds.
