Underground pilgrimage from America to Fabrika

Join the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the crackdown on underground music fans in Rudolfov. Together, let us remember the bravery of those who stood up against repression at the time and celebrate the spirit of freedom that this incident bequeaths to future generations.
The programme includes not only a nostalgic ride in historic buses from České Budějovice to Rudolfov, but also a performance by the legendary band The Plastic People of the Universe, who were supposed to play here 50 years ago. This unique event will remind us of the atmosphere of the time and allow us to relive a part of history together with the music that was a symbol of resistance in its time. Come and honour the memory of those who stood up against injustice and relive moments that shaped our history.
