In a few days, things will be loud again ​at Stuppach Castle. ⁣The​ “Metal Escalation” festival is taking place⁢ on August 30th and 31st. ‌

It is ‌intended to be a festival by fans‍ for fans: At ⁤the end of August, Stuppach‌ Castle will ‍once again be under the‌ motto “Metal meets Classical”. ⁤Top-class metal and rock bands⁣ from Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland are⁣ expected to perform on the two days of the ⁤festival. The headliners‌ on Friday are “Infinitas” from Switzerland ‍and on Saturday “Heidevolk” from the Netherlands.

“At the unique ‌location in the ‍castle park​ of Mozart’s last castle,‌ the close connection between classical and metal⁣ is palpable and an experience for⁤ all music lovers,” says Chris Keller from the “Metal⁢ Escalation” association,⁤ still enthusiastically. This year they‌ want to build ⁢on the successful performance by Paul​ Gulda with⁤ the ‌band‌ “Ghidrah”.⁢ This time ⁤”Ghidrah” will be on stage with violinist Maria ​Kubizek and will create a ⁣special moment​ with a successful combination ⁢of metal and classical.

The festival is ⁢entering ​its fourth round ⁢this year. What the organizers are particularly pleased about is⁢ that camping and parking⁢ spaces are available free‍ of charge for the duration of the festival. Special packages ⁤and VIP tickets are of course also⁢ available, these can be ​found on the homepage www.metal-escalation.at.
Our special thanks‌ go, of ⁣course, to all sponsors and helpers and especially to ⁢Rita and Reinhard⁣ Zellinger, who give our festival a ⁤home‌ in their castle and thus make it possible for ⁤a small non-profit ‌organization to ​organize a festival by⁣ fans ​for fans,” ⁤said Chris Keller.
