Open Air Music Festival Trutnov begins

The Czech Republic’s largest open air music festival in Trutnov kicked off Thursday to a concert of drums as several thousand visitors arrive for an early start to the weekend’s events. This year’s programme is set to include over a hundred domestic and foreign performances including the bands Primal Scream, Anti-Flag, and Cavalera Conspiracy from Brazil. The Open Air Music Festival Trutnov has been an annual event since 1987, making it the oldest festival of its kind in the country. Previous years have seen crowds of up to 20,000 people.
