Rockstadt Extreme Fest is the biggest and the best metal festival on the grounds of Transylvania, deep in the forests of Romania.
I had the pleasure to experience this celebration of extreme music myself last year, in 2023. The scenery, the forest, the fortress, the bears the wolves, the foxes and of course the drunk Romanians were just some of the amazing things that make visit again and again every year this place with the tall trees, the cheep, but very good quality beer and food and the tasty riffs!
For me was an absolute pleasure and what an experience staying at a well organised camping in the forest, with all the castles – including the Bran castle – nearby, under Dracula’s wings in Transylvania, headbanging with very pleasant and friendly local metalheads enjoying metal exactly the way we should. All as one, cause we all belong to the same tribe.
If I could sum up Rockstadt in a few words it would be just metalheads in their natural habitat. It’s something that I would really love to enjoy this year again. A metal festival in the forest on the mountain in the heart of Transylvania, surrounded by beasts and castles and fortresses and vampires sounds unreal, sounds like a dream, but it’s real! Also,did I mention that the bands they bring are good? All of them, every single one of them!
A festival, three stages, 100 bands playing live in the forest of Dracula
!I’d love to be there again or 2024 and so do you
