Colours of Ostrava

Party in a Czech metalworks factory!

Colours of Ostrava

When: THU–SAT, July 17–20
Where: Ostrava, Czech Rep.
Entry: 81–114€, check which one suits you best here!

Last year, this Czech festival offered up 350 different performances, workshops and other funky stuff! With 21 different stages spread out within a sprawling ex-metalworks factory this makes for a special kinda’ festival. While it is hardly one of the more familiar names on the European festival circuit, with the line-up they have, we think it should be (eg. Florence + The Machine, The Cure, MØ). Check out the detailed programme. Watch last year’s festival film, here:

To get there you’ll need to… take any form of transport! You can literally get there by plane, train or automobile. There is even the option to take a boat as the river runs through the festival (although you can’t disembark on the actual festival site, sadly).

This festival is special because… it’s in a friggin’ ex-metal works factory, which is sure to make some very Instagrammable moments

Recommended if you like: partying in weird and wonderful locations, mega cool line ups, getting out of Austria, the Czech Republic, kid friendly festivals, multi-genre festivals, festivals in actual places rather than the middle of friggin’ nowhere
