6 Reasons Not to Miss Odyssea
Most rock festivals take place in fields or urban parks. Odyssea sits right on the Black Sea shore, on the sandbar between the sea and Lake Saturn. When the music stops, you hear the waves. The breeze carries the salt air, and at sunset the lake beside the festival catches fire. A natural setting that completely transforms the festival experience.
Not on a field. Not in the city. By the sea!
Accommodation next to the festival, not kilometres away
You’re no longer miles from the concerts, no longer commuting between your accommodation and the festival. Odyssea takes place in an area with over 50,000 beds spread along an 8-kilometre stretch of coastline, connected by public transport. There are options for every budget — camping, guesthouses, hotels or apartments — all just minutes from the festival.
Hard & heavy, power & symphonic, thrash & death, core & extreme — every dimension of rock and metal meets at Odyssea. A lineup built so that every fan finds at least one band that speaks directly to them. At Odyssea, no rocker gets left behind.
Rock and metal for every taste
Easy to reach from all over Europe
Getting to Odyssea is easy however you travel — car or motorbike, train or coach, plane or even boat. Just 3 hours from Bucharest’s international airport and around 2 hours from Varna (Bulgaria), Odyssea is probably one of the most accessible festivals in Europe.
Days on the beach. Nights headbanging in front of the stage. Odyssea is an international metal festival that genuinely offers a holiday destination: sea, beach and water sports, ancient ruins and historical sites, rock concerts and your community.
A festival that is also a holiday
The future of rock, live in front of you
Through Odyssea Band Clash, the second stage brings the fresh energy of rock and metal: new bands giving everything to win over the jury and the crowd. You wouldn’t be the first — or the last — to come for the headliners and leave talking about the band you discovered first.
