The multi-genre festival Colours of Ostrava is known not only for its packed programme but also for its unique atmosphere created by the industrial surroundings of Dolní Vítkovice. Every year, the former complex of ironworks, mines and steelworks transforms into a cultural hub where concerts by global stars and accompanying programme take place among blast furnaces and steel structures. The contrast between raw industrial architecture and vibrant culture makes the festival a truly unforgettable experience.
Colours is the place to be.
Česká spořitelna Stage
The festival’s main stage with a capacity of up to 40,000 visitors. This is where the biggest international shows come to life. We want you to enjoy every concert exactly the way you like it — whether directly in front of the stage with headliners within arm’s reach, or from further back with more personal space around you. Thanks to the extended catwalk and top-quality sound and visuals, the experience reaches you no matter where you stand.
T-Mobile Stage
The festival’s second-largest stage offering an intense and unforgettable atmosphere. Surrounded by trees, the area feels almost like a natural amphitheatre where the energy of the crowd truly comes alive. This is where even the boldest artists from this year’s diverse lineup stand out at their very best. And once the audience joins in singing or clapping together, the shared energy becomes completely overwhelming.
Steel Stage
More details about this year’s programme will be revealed soon.
Fresh Stage
An industrial stage located beneath the iconic Bolt Tower, filled with youthful energy. During the day, it is a space for rising stars and emerging talents, while after dark it transforms into a dancefloor for electronic music fans. The common thread is uncompromising “fresh sound” — bold, adventurous and constantly evolving. The artists performing here push boundaries and create entirely new musical worlds.
Vítkovice Gong Stage
A sanctuary in the middle of the festival storm. This former gas holder transformed into a concert hall offers nearly 1,500 seats. A space designed for maximum focus and an exceptional artistic experience, unique among European festivals. Sit back comfortably and enjoy exclusive theatre performances, lectures by world-renowned speakers and intimate concerts that stay with you long after they end.
Seats can be reserved in advance online — simply arrive 15 minutes before the start without waiting in line. Priority reservations are available for Meltingpot Priority Pass holders. And even if you decide at the last minute, do not lose hope — if there is free capacity, you can still get in.
Gong Stage – Small Hall
A theatre stage crossing the boundaries of its genre — from intimate theatre productions and stand-up performances to popular discussion shows.
Full Moon Stage
A stage for true music connoisseurs, curated by the team behind Full Moon magazine. Once again, it will offer a diverse selection of the most exciting music around — from euphoric pop, psychedelia, rap and African electronic music to raw post-punk. Nineteen artists, nineteen original worlds. Alongside international premieres, you will also discover the progressive Czech scene proudly standing alongside global trends.
Cacao Stage
A unique corner filled with free movement and uplifting ideas, creating its own microcosm within the festival. Express yourself fully during ecstatic dance music sets and explore your heart and mind while listening to carefully selected artists from around the world. Let your own voice be heard.
This stage of tolerance and mutual respect will once again present stars beloved by its community, whose concerts are often completely sold out. Every day, you can also enjoy the concentrated energy of real cacao accompanied by live music during the popular cacao ritual. Become a nomad in both mind and body. This is a place where you can lose yourself and find yourself again.
