Eastern Slovakia's Major Rock Festival Postponed Due to Rising Costs
Share:
Rock pod Kameňom, one of eastern Slovakia's major rock music festivals, has been postponed after organizers cited rising financial demands from bands as the primary reason for the decision. The festival, whose name translates as 'Rock Under the Stone,' had built a following among rock fans in the region but found itself unable to meet the increasingly high fees demanded by performing acts. The postponement reflects a broader trend facing independent music festivals across Europe, where post-pandemic artist fees and touring costs have surged, putting smaller regional events under severe financial pressure.
