Sázavafest kicks off in Benešov

The 11th outdoor music festival Sázavafest kicks off on Thursday afternoon. Some 120 acts both from the Czech Republic and abroad will be performing at the four-day festival, including Basta Fidel, Sto žvířat, the British band Hurts and the German group Alphaville. For the first time this year, the festival is held in the Central Bohemian town of Benešov. Organizers said that the previous site of the festival, the town of Kácov near the river Sázava, was not safe, since two of the five stages had to be shut down last year after the river flooded.
