The Mighty Sounds Festival is a unique three-day music event, which is annually held in June near the Czech City of Tábor. The festival focuses primarily on punk and punk rock, rock’n’roll, hardcore, reggae, ska, rockabilly, indie rock and other styles of music that are derived from, or closely related to, these styles. One of the things that make this festival special is the large number of foreign bands present. More than 80% of the lined-up bands are from outside of the Czech Republic. Of course there are also top Czech bands representing the above different styles of music. So, Might Sounds is something different and something special – not at all like a typical Czech music festival. There have been many bands and solo artists at the Mighty Sounds Festivals since the first festival was held in 2005: Dropkick Murphys, Ska-P, Suicidal Tendencies, Gogol Bordello, The Interrupters, Pennywise, The Subways, Anti-Flag, Turbonegro, Ignite, Sick Of It All, Madball, Comeback Kid, Dog Eat Dog, Backyard Babies, H20, The Casualties, Dubioza Kolektiv, Frank Turner, Enter Shikari, Dub Incorporation, Irie Révoltés, Sick Of It All, Protoje, Architects, Biohazard, Nekromantix, The Slackers, Enter Shikari, Architects, Gallows, Macka B, Ky-Mani Marley, Alborosie, Inner Circle, Derrick Morgan or The Aggrolites and many others. In addition to the opportunity to hear some famous and major bands representing a range of diverse musical genres, the festival also provides attendees with the opportunity to listen to a number of sometimes smaller but highly talented and perhaps unfamiliar – but always top quality – bands. The Mighty Sounds Festival gives its attendees a guarantee – which is that you won’t find a similar line-up of bands in the Czech Republic this year. At each festival, the program includes over 120 artists who will be performing on four live and one DJ stage. In 2017, acoustic Black Coffee Stage has been added to the festival programme.
