Das nenne ich benchmarking; wir als Besucher des Stoned wissen eigentlich schon vom Bauch heraus, dass wir nächstes Jahr wiederkommen. Nur dieses Mal bekommen wir knallharte Fakten in Form von ersten Bands und da scheint es auch keine Ausreden mehr zu geben. Ein schattiges Zelt - gleichzeitig auch Regenschutz - im Infield macht das an sich schon gemütliche Festival noch gemütlicher, fast schon französisch, zumal es wie immer leckeres Essen zu toller Musik in einem offenen Zelt gibt. Auch...

Unfortunately, this small yet exquisite festival has not yet produced an official aftermovie. For anyone interested in getting a feel for the event, this clip, featuring "Church of Misery", is extremely helpful; it shows impeccable sound quality and an enthusiastic crowd on a spacious festival ground. In addition to featuring bands from Europe and the USA, the festival manages to offer a true insider-favorite beer from Bavaria—"Bräu im Moos"—a brew so exclusive that you won't even find it...

Après le fantastique concert des « Villagers of Ioannina City » le 3 avril 2026 à l'ancien monastère dominicain de Guebwiller, et nos visites intensives à des amis en Alsace ainsi qu'à Hervé (ex-BBA, Loudblast) dans un hôpital près de Belfort, nous cherchions un endroit calme et pittoresque pour passer la nuit. Nous avons opté pour l'un des nombreux parkings près de Port-sur-Saône, à environ une heure de Belfort. Malheureusement, tous les parkings étaient complets, et un...

The name of this festival in Cambrai comes from the local delicacy called "Bêtises". These are very sweet, very colorful and very varied candies, which are also mentioned in the Asterix volume "Tour de France". “Bêtises” means stupidities and so the origin of the festival name would be clarified. This festival has been around since 2003 and the line-ups read like a who's who of the French metal and punk scene. The 10 bands of this year´s lineup present also 10 different brands of music,...

We live close to the Alps, close to the river Isar, where we float and swim and we listen to Heavy Metal. If you visit Tolminator, you have everything of that in one place; a stunning landscape, a beautiful river and a line-up 10/10. The location and the two stages have the right size for an intimate and international festival. We met and talked with 12 different nationalities, heard almost that much of different styles and enjoyed the beauty of Heavy Metal listening to Heavy Metal Bar piano...

First we have to say thank you SOL and Mona for the invitation. It was SOL´s Champions League Festival and of course it was sold out with, I guess 2500 spectators. The two venues were big enough for a lot of Stoner- and Krautheads from all over Europe. The parking situation was a bit crucial, because there were only private parkings or forbidden parking around the Club Volta and the Victoriawerk. The large number of security personnel was surprising, as we have only a third of the staff at a...

Heavy Psych Sounds presents a perfect mix of international and national bands on both festivals. Both venues are worth to visit and both towns deserve a visit too. So grab your things together, get your tickets and take a multi sounding trip through their band rooster.

We as fans should say thank you Matte for founding SOL, for supplying us with interesting music, concerts and festivals, for upgrading our musical family, for creating a new community of fans and bands and for carrying the torch of the idea of an international brotherhood of fans, magazines - like Heavystoned among others - and bands. The Heavystoned-Team is grateful for your work, your visions and kindness. Actually it´s a must to visit this festival as a symbolic act.
