Zavírák Mezivrchy 2026: Lomnice Swimming Pool Once Again Taken Over by a Storm of Punk, Hardcore and Metal
Lomnice nad Popelkou will once again transform into one of the liveliest spots on the Czech underground scene on August 29, 2026. The fourteenth edition of Zavírák Mezivrchy will offer a combination of punk, hardcore, crossover and extreme metal, once again proving why this event has built such a strong reputation among fans of heavy music over the years.
The festival has always been built primarily on honest live energy and bands that truly come alive on stage. This is not a polished mainstream festival, but an event driven by community spirit, loud music, people packed in front of the stage and bands that genuinely live for their performances.
ČAD bring a Slovak crossover hurricane
Slovak legends ČAD are among the most distinctive names on the Czech-Slovak crossover/thrash scene. The band led by Pišta Vandal is known for its extremely energetic concerts, aggressive sound and raw fusion of metal, hardcore and punk energy. At festivals, they regularly prove why they are considered one of the most respected live acts in the region.
PLÁN TO KILL and CARNIWAR deliver uncompromising heaviness
Plán To Kill have long been one of the most notable names on the domestic hardcore/metal scene, with concerts built on pure energy, aggression and strong interaction with the audience. Another intense live assault will come from Carniwar, who combine a modern metal sound with hardcore influences and relentless live intensity.
NEUROTIC MACHINERY confirm the strength of Czech modern death metal
Hailing from Tachov, Neurotic Machinery have been active since 2006 and have performed hundreds of concerts both at home and abroad. The band combines death metal with progressive elements and technically sophisticated songwriting, making them one of the most significant names on today's Czech extreme metal scene.
PLUTO, NEO MR. DAY, ŠICÍ STROJ and RACHOT BAND complete the diverse line-up
This year's festival will also feature performances by Pluto, Neo Mr. Day, Šicí Stroj and Rachot Band. It is precisely this combination of different genres, contrasting live energies and an underground approach that makes Zavírák Mezivrchy one of the most distinctive summer events in the region.
A major advantage of the event remains the unique setting of the Lomnice swimming pool. Fans return not only for the music, but also for the relaxed atmosphere, camping opportunities and space for caravans. This strong sense of community is exactly what has helped Mezivrchy maintain its place on the Czech underground scene for so many years.
Zavírák Mezivrchy 2026 once again proves that true underground culture is alive and well. If you are looking for a festival without pretence, with heavy music, a beer in your hand and bands that leave everything they have on stage, Lomnice nad Popelkou will be an essential stop on August 29.
