When looking for a new metal festival experience, most metalheads have a few specific pieces of criteria in mind. Firstly, they want a kickass lineup stacked with both legendary and exciting, cutting edge metal bands from right across the spectrum. Secondly, they want it to be somewhere unique and interesting. And thirdly, if possible, they don't want to have to break the bank to achieve wishes one and two.
If those three things all apply to you, then look no further than next year's Mystic Festival. Taking place in the historic Shipyard in Gdansk, Poland - the very same place where the seeds of worker solidarity that helped to push back against the Communist dictatorship of eastern Europe were sewn - Mystic features a dazzling lineup of metal veterans, modern heavyweights and underground favourites across four packed days.
