Björk

The Colours of Ostrava festival returns to the Czech Republic's third-largest city (around 250 kilometers east of Prague) between Thursday, July 12 and Sunday, July 15.

Headlined by Björk, the 2012 edition of this year's festival -- widely considered one of the country's very best -- features a typically diverse line-up of Western and world music acts.

This year's event takes place at the Dolní oblast Vítkovice industrial heritage site, a city center location that makes Colours of Ostrava one of the most accessible Czech festivals if you don't like the idea of camping.

For further information, see the official Colours of Ostrava website (in Czech, Polish and English).
