The lineup for Brutal Assault 2026 has just expanded significantly, with eight new acts confirmed for the Josefov Fortress in Jaroměř, Czech Republic. The additions are Body Count, Clawfinger, Guilt Trip, H2O, Paleface Swiss, Protest The Hero, Ratos De Porao, and Terror.
Brutal Assault has always been more than just a metal festival — it’s a full spectrum extreme music experience. With Ice-T’s Body Count on the same bill as Brazilian thrashers Ratos De Porao and Canadian prog-metal masters Protest The Hero, the August 5–8, 2026 edition is already looking like one of the most diverse in the festival’s long history.
The event is organised by a team committed to sustainability and inclusivity, running under the motto „Against violence and intolerance” — a philosophy that resonates deeply with its global community of fans.
