The 12th and final month of the year is already upon us. Snowfall should be expected. But that shouldn’t be an excuse to stay at home. There’s a whole heap of festive and non-festive events taking place in Prague. So get involved! 

Music   

3- Anthrax: Christmas comes early for rock fans! metal gods Anthrax bless the Lucerna

Music Bar stage. The five piece have been labeled as one of the “big four” when it comes to thrash metal. The group has enjoyed huge success, with 10 studio albums produced by the seemingly ever-changing lineup. Thrash metal legends. Plain and simple!

4 – Les Triaboliques: Justin Adams, Lu Edmonds, and Ben Mandelson combine sounds from their respective backgrounds: blues-soaked guitars, mandolin/barizouki world-strings, and vocals. A must-see show from some creative musicians!
