A cutting-edge festival Devilstone Open Air brings together creative people valuing rock and metal music and exceptional ideas. Taking place in Anykščiai every midsummer’s weekend (around the 15th of July), the festival enables people to enjoy the live alternative music and highly positively-charged atmosphere while relaxing on the river banks. Here extreme music performances intertwine with rock ’n’ roll lifestyle spirit in its own unique way.

Since the establishment in 2009, Devilstone Open Air acquired recognition, grew in size, and expanded the musical directions. Currently, two stages are shared by up to 30 bands. Half of them perform extreme music, the others – contemporary rock including the indefinable and experimental styles.

The festival promotes Lithuanian alternative scene and every year strives to present the best of Lithuania. The strongest trait of Devilstone Open Air is music from all around Europe and the world, and ever-expanding diversity of alternative genres. This unrestrained concept enables us to represent several prestigious metal and rock bands and simultaneously venture into the unknown. The festival is well aware of the contemporary alternative music pulse; therefore, it is always on the lookout for the next big thing – highly professional young bands with bright potential. We want to be among the first of great explorers!

Devilstone Open Air is a small, cosy and bursting with energy festival; heavy and professional in music terms, yet incredibly light, liberating and charming in its atmosphere and positive energy. Needless to say, Devilstone Open Air is a unique rock ‘n’ roll festival!
