Folk Metal Pilgrims 2026

Folk Metal Pilgrims 2026 returns to Ostrava's Barrák with another edition of the folk metal showcase.

The lineup brings together bands from various corners of the scene. From Poland, Lysy Góra will arrive, blending Slavic tradition with modern metal, and Merkfolk, bringing their new album — one of the first live performances of new songs. The Czech contingent will be represented by Wolfarian with an emphasis on live performance and ÁNNI with an atmospheric approach. Epic melodic death metal will be provided by Aether.

A special highlight of the evening will be the performance of Cruadalach — a band that significantly influenced the Czech folk metal scene and will play one of only a few exceptional concerts since the end of their active period.
