Maine seara, la Expirat.

SLAPSHOT ajung in Romania pentru prima și ultima dată, parte a turneului European de adio. Concertul are loc în data de 12 noiembrie, la Club Expirat din Bucuresti.

Invitati: Silence Is Violence si Berzerk.

Biletele sunt disponibile pe site-ul nostru, dar si la intrare, in seara evenimentului.

Special Guests: Silence Is Violence & Berzerk

SLAPSHOT este o trupă învăluită în istorie, zvonuri și legende urbane. Existența lor a divizat în mod egal comunitatea hardcore și i-a unit pe adepții săi. Foarte puține trupe au lăsat o asemenea amprentă încât generație după generație de tineri hardcore să considere că este de datoria lor să descopere SLAPSHOT pentru ei înșiși, pentru a le oferi o bază în dezvoltarea lor muzicală. Într-o scenă care diferențiază atât de des subgenurile hardcore-ului old school, SLAPSHOT nu este în mod clar niciuna dintre ele și, în mod decisiv, ambele în același timp. Sunt straight edge și duri. Dar nu au suficient de multe în comun nici cu Youth Of Today, nici cu Madball pentru a servi cu adevărat la definirea vreunui subgen.

Sub toată istoria bogată și toate discuțiile din trecutul lor se află cel mai important element al SLAPSHOT - muzica lor. Hardcore-ul fără menajamente, bazat pe viteză, care nu va da metal-ului nicio importanță și lasă punk-ul să se prăbușească, SLAPSHOT continuă să fie altceva decât cea mai pură versiune de hardcore care există. Brandingul lor straight-edge este, de asemenea, de neclintit și consecvent. Mult timp după ce Ian Mackaye si Ray Cappo s-au retras de mișcare, Choke și băieții din SLAPSHOT rămân, fără îndoială, straight-edge.

O instituție în hardcore punk din 1985, Slapshot decide acum să iși ia rămas bun.

From his infamous Bran Castle, the legendary Vlad Dracula has spoken! SABATON will perform, for the first time in Transylvania, at Rockstadt Extreme Fest in Ghimbav!

Join the Swedish legends and an already stellar lineup on the grounds of Ghimbav, Transylvania, just 5 km from Brasov, between July 27-31 2026. Don’t miss your chance to see SABATON, HELLOWEEN, GODSMACK, LAMB OF GOD, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL, IN FLAMES, ARCH ENEMY, ACCEPT, THE GATHERING, HATEBREED, and many more acts, all in one place!

Founded in 1999 in Falun, Sweden, Sabaton is a five-piece heavy metal band known for telling powerful stories. With a love for military history, they are famous worldwide for bringing dramatic stories from the past to life through their energetic, anthemic heavy metal. With 11 studio albums and several EPs, Sabaton has built a strong presence in the global heavy metal scene, not only for their ability to spotlight real historic events through their music and extensive world tours but also because they are considered one of the hardest-working bands in the industry.

Their upcoming full-length studio album, Legends, set for release on October 17, 2025, explores the lives of some of history's most iconic figures. It features stories about 11 legendary characters, including Vlad the Impaler, Joan of Arc, Napoleon, Julius Caesar, Hannibal, and the master swordsman Miyamoto Musashi. With 'Legends,” the band enters a new chapter, delving deeper into history than ever before and shifting away from their recent focus on World War I and II.

This new show and production promise to be bigger and better than any they’ve done before. Over more than 25 years since their formation, Sabaton has headlined major festivals, sold out arenas worldwide, and built a loyal global fanbase by earning a reputation as one of the hardest-working bands. Since their debut in 2005, they have achieved Gold, Platinum, and multi-Platinum certifications worldwide.

They have scored Top 10 international chart positions with eight albums, with six reaching the Top 5. Sabaton’s music has amassed over 3 billion streams across all streaming platforms and more than 2 billion YouTube views. Fans know them as Sabaton—the heavy metal band that sings about real-life wars and the people who played roles in them—covering campaigns, acts of bravery, victories, and personal struggles, with stories more incredible than fiction.

The feeling that somehow… you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. 🤘🏻

30/10/2025

October 30th is a day that changed Romanian contemporary history as we know it. It transformed us as a society and will remain one of the darkest days in our collective memory. Sixty-five people lost their lives during a tragic incident in Bucharest, at Club Colectiv — the worst tragedy since 1989. Among them were many friends, fans, musicians, photographers, and festival staff members.

Unfortunately, not much has changed since then. Too few lessons have been learned, and too little action has been taken.
Goodbye To Gravity was one of the first bands to perform at Rockstadt Extreme Fest. In the crowd that night were many who helped build what Rockstadt Extreme Fest is today.

Among them was Adrian Rugina. From the very first edition, Adrian played an essential role in the festival. With only a handful of people involved back then, most with little to no experience organizing an open-air festival, Adrian stepped in to handle the production and logistical aspects, both on stage and behind the scenes. He did so with the same values we uphold today — love and passion for music and community. He gave so much to this project without expecting anything in return. He believed in the fans and the community. Every sacrifice he made was for them.

Adrian had an incredible love for music. He aimed to revolutionize the Romanian event industry and was key to taking the right steps in that direction. On the night of October 30th, 2015, he sacrificed his life for others. Along with Claudiu Petre, another close friend and supporter of Rockstadt Extreme Fest, Adrian went back into the burning venue not once, but twice, to help people reach safety. Adrian and Claudiu made the ultimate sacrifice for those they loved. Their memories and sacrifices will always live on. Although politically and socially, so little has changed for the better, we can still cherish their memories every day. It is up to us to make a difference and build a better world. That was Adrian’s belief.

On this day, we always visit his final resting place and pay a small tribute to the legacy he left. While the message remains the same, we keep updating you yearly with a new photo from his final resting place.

Each year, some wonder why one of the Main Stages at Rockstadt Extreme Fest is named after Adrian Rugina. Every year, we take that opportunity to honor Adrian and all those who are no longer with us. It’s our way of keeping their memory alive, our way of ensuring Adrian and everyone at Colectiv will forever be part of this festival.

Adrian, we hope you're proud of what we've achieved together, and we promise to deliver you many more incredible shows with the bands and music you loved!
