Festival Povaleč

Prague-based rapper Pain, aka Malej Zee from the group DOTS, is one of the most prominent young faces in Czech rap in recent years. His rap and grime often layered over hard drum'n'bass beats, paired with Pain's mischievous smile.

There’s really no need to introduce Berta and Friends to our lounging, seaside-loving audience — after all, they’ve been sailing the Czech Sea for nearly a decade now. And guess what? They’re finally docking in Valeč to spread their good vibes! I’m jumping for joy: Yo-ho-ho!

Music like the one played by UJD is hard to find anywhere else. It is wild in a punk way, urgent, yet the composition is complex and elaborate with timeless lyrics. The typical features are the trumpet sound, the incredible tempo and the live performances filled with intense energy and humor. This is perhaps the reason why the band as well as their audience don’t seem to get any older.

Psychedelic fuzz and raw rock’n’roll collide in the Prague quartet Madhouse Express, who, in just a few years, have cemented their place as an undeniable powerhouse in Czech psychedelia and the beating heart of the scene. Get ready for a mind-bending theremin solo!

He wears his arrogance on his sleeve, with ironically self-parodying lyrics that hold up a mirror to today’s society, and a sound that fuses hyperpop, rap, and folk. His latest album Nesu Oheň—in his own words—is for people who sit on benches and drink just to get drunk. The fast tempo puts you in a trance, but if you really listen to the words, you will hear Mat213 reminiscing about the last beautiful summer, or raging against politicians for building cities that clearly aren’t made for people. He’s a hyperpop outsider making music for people who don’t want to feel like people. A sad boy hiding his sensitivity and melancholy behind absurd, tragicomic lyrics—because admitting he is serious would probably just make him feel awkward.

This German-British crew has the potential to absolutely wreck the stage—in the best way possible. Expect a breakbeat explosion in the form of a live DJ set, fused with pounding drums and loud, in-your-face vocals. Whatever you do, don’t miss these maniacs. It’s gonna be pure mayhem.
