British drum and bass act Black Sun Empire performs at the Beats For Love 2026 festival in Ostrava.

About the venue: Dolní Vítkovice

Dolní oblast Vítkovice is a vast industrial complex in Ostrava, built around blast furnaces and a coking plant dating to the 19th century. Carefully converted, it now hosts festivals, concerts, exhibitions and conferences. The most striking structures are the Gong multifunctional hall - housed inside a former gas holder - and the Bolt Tower observation point.
