Brutal Assault 2026 has added four more names to its sprawling lineup: Angelus Apatrida, Armored Saint, Onslaught, and Nevermore. The festival takes place from August 5–8, 2026 inside the Josefov Fortress in Jaroměř, Czech Republic — an 18th-century military stronghold that provides one of the most awe-inspiring festival backdrops anywhere in the world.
Heavy metal played within the walls of a centuries-old fortress. If that sentence doesn’t already have you planning your travel, these four confirmations might do the job.
Full event details and tickets available on the official website and the Facebook event page.
