Rockstadt Extreme Fest will take place between Jul 27-31st, that means from Monday to Friday. Although we skipped the weekend dates, these new dates will allow us to present the biggest lineup ever made in the history of this festival. And we are silently working on this for months, with many acts already confirmed.
This move makes it easier for bands to actually bring their full production over, with a touring schedule that will be way more flexible in actually making the shows happen in this part of Europe, a situation that was always a challenge when it came to coordinating with other major European events taking place in the same week.
So you can expect a more packed lineup than before. For now, please welcome Helloween and ACCEPT, two legendary names coming over with special anniversary shows!
The future of Rockstadt Extreme Fest has been revealed. In a statement released this morning, the festival has confirmed that its new home from 2026 will be in Ghimbav, where they will build the festival "the way we envision it."
The official post describes a bold vision of starting from scratch to create the ultimate festival experience, in partnership with the local City Hall. Organizers assured the community that the new venue will be designed to meet everyone's needs, with a focus on creating "lots of activities where you can see more than just your favorite bands play."
They answered key fan questions directly, confirming the new site will have plenty of covered areas, trees, water, and dedicated camping.
Ghimbav is located only 5 kilometers from the city of Brasov and only 10 kilometers from Rasnov and was first mentioned in a letter from King Sigismund of Hungary in 1420. It is an amazing place, located in a very strategic area that allows a festival of this size to fully unfold.
The new festival site will cover twice the size of the old space in Rasnov , which means that we will now have the opportunity to host larger productions and improve the festival as a whole, from the stages to the design, shades and all activities related to the event itself.
Gone are the days when you couldn't find a ticket for the campsite. Gone are the days of struggling to find suitable accommodation near the festival. Plus, the Ghimbav train station is literally right across the street.
