Es ist immer wieder unglaublich, wie das Orga-Team seit nun 24 Jahren mit der annähernd gleichen Besetzung dieses Festival mit einem gleichbleibenden hohen Level an Bands, Sound und Licht schafft. Wir sind erst seit 2015 dabei, obwohl mir Will Mecum von Karma to Burn schon 2011 in Heidelberg sagte, dass das Stoned das beste Festival sei. Unser damaliges Wohmobil ist nach 17 sec auf diesem Video zu sehen.

The trip to Desertfest in Berlin is similar to our trips to Hellfest in Clisson. Almost like a pilgrimage, the journey is the destination; at each stop, we discover new sights and natural beauties, as well as extremely nice and friendly people in East Germany. And as Forrest Gump once said, that life is like a box of chocolates because you don't know what's inside, that's always the case at Desertfest. Well-known bands can quickly become a disappointment because they don't meet certain...

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...

The day split looks like a relaxed and exciting festival; there'll be plenty of time for the audience to relax in the beautiful scenery while still watching and meeting interesting bands. After just three editions, Marin Lalic and his crew seem to have found the perfect blend of DunaJam, SonicBlast, and Stoned from the Underground. We're really thrilled for the fourth edition of this festival.

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.

This line-up will exceed all the expectations we had after the first announcement in early autumn. SOL and Greyzone Concerts added My Sleeping Karma, Dinosaur JR., for the big names and a lot of interesting bands written in smaller letters. In one word: fantastic.

What started as a small festival remained a small festival for small bands that became big names after they played there. It´s still a mystery how the guys around Matte and Ralf manage to keep on carrying the torch and the spirit of this festival around the Lake of Alperstedt. Everything is a bit special there: the line-up with daily surprises, the audience among we meet old friends and gain some new with every edition, the friendly and funny staff which keeps the festival running. We are...

These two screenshots from November 24th, 2024 show the views of the official Hellfest aftermovie. Hellfest is the largest, best decorated festival in Europe, where we spent a month of our lives. We visited Hellfest 8 times and were thrilled every time. But now you can also see that there is a small, fine festival in Croatia, in the middle of a stunningly beautiful landscape, located on a river, has way more views than the Hellfest. So what could be the reason for this? I guess, the...

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.
