Rock Monsters Romania

Rock la Mures, one of the longest-running open air festivals in Romania, returns this year for a new edition. The organizers have already announced the dates, 7-8 July, and the first bands were confirmed. This summer, they celebrate their 11th edition by hosting one of the craziest and maddest parties in Romania, making for two full days of festivities with two stages running.

The festival takes place in Periam Port, a place that immerses you in nature, all the while reflecting the need for music, freedom, and the nature of our being, where the rays of sunshine out of the tent and cause you to find coolness on a canoe trip on Mures, relaxing in the hammock and dancing. This vibe was gathered under the name Rock la Mures, the first Open Air Festival in Romania, and even though the years have passed, the atmosphere from Rock la Mures still floats in the air.

The American metalcore band ATTILA, female punk rockstar SUZI MOON, Californian hardcore punk band TOTAL CHAOS, hard’n’heavy Austrian band SILENZER, Turkish twin sister duo HIPERSONA, and Romanian band IMUND, have already been confirmed at Rock la Mures this summer.

Although Attila was initially formed in 2005, the band did not start touring full-time until around 2010. Their most successful album, “About That Life,” debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at number 22. They have released eight full-length albums and are expected to rock the Romanian stage.

Due to their strong message against racism and socio-political subjects, the American hardcore punk band Total Chaos faced racist and nationalist organizations at the shows and the album ban in Japan. In 2003, their concert in Montreal was canceled, and Total Chaos‘s entrance was denied due to the criminal records of some members. After the show’s cancellation, fans decided to cause disorder and riots, with some shops and cars being damaged.

One of the festival’s highlights is its fantastic camping options, allowing you to soak in nature, making it unique. The campsite is situated in the middle of the forest and by the river, making for beautiful sunsets while the festival takes over Periam Port‘s grounds. Apart from the music, expect to be blown away by canoe trips, biking trails on the banks of the Mures river, volleyball and mini-football courts, and merchandise areas.

The bands will be joined by the Romanian bands Doomsday Astronaut, Dizident, Grinder, Era Noua and Weeping Assault, as well as the well known metalcore band W3 4R3 NUM83R5.

Other headliners and bands will be announced soon! Tickets are available on iaBilet and AmBilet.

About the facilities and location:

The organizers of Rock la Mureș festival are going above and beyond to surprise the attendees this year by transforming the camping area and the entire event space into a relaxing and fun paradise. They have come up with a unique concept in Romania that offers festival-goers various amenities to ensure their stay is unforgettable.

“The camping area has always been a little different at Rock la Mureș, and since the first editions, we imagined this place as something more than just a sleeping space. At this year’s edition, we don’t plan on doing it any differently; moreover, we want to transform the camping concept into a true portal of fun and relaxation.”

Therefore, in addition to the already familiar and necessary utilities for an outdoor festival, you can enjoy not only good music but also a picnic with friends or family. It’s a weekend where you can light up the grill, lay out a blanket, listen to your favorite bands, and enjoy an outing in nature.

The camping area will provide:

• eco-toilets

• running water

• showers

• special areas for phone charging

• lighting in the tent area

• security to ensure the safety of belongings

• the possibility of placing the tent right next to the car

• picnic facilities

• grill equipment

• food and drinks from the adjacent festival areas

• free transportation.

The organizers do not impose restrictions on food or drinks brought from outside the festival area and introduced into the camping area. However, since the food area within the festival will focus on local specialties, a review of the delicious treats prepared is not out of place. There will be fewer hamburgers and more dishes made with natural ingredients, including vegetables and fruits from local gardens and the famous orchards of Periam.

This year, the Rock la Mureș festival is once again supported by the Periam City Hall, so locals and local personalities have free entry. The same goes for people with disabilities and their companions, as well as children under the age of 16.
