Artists’ feedback:

"Professional organization, warm people. One of the best small festivals
around the globe", - Derrick Green, SEPULTURA

 “Thanks for putting on a very good festival...you should be very proud as it was a great venue with a good atmosphere and very good organization.
It’s a bit of a shame that our set suffered due to delays after Sepultura and the little time to check the sound.....but I hope we did a good job for you anyway.
I think it had the best feel of any fest that I have been to.  I really relaxed at enchanting atmosphere. Much effort was obviously put into it and it was seen....
It was difficult for us as we were all so tired by the time we got to play.... it was tough following Sepultura too.....but we came to do a job so I’m pleased that it went down well..... One of our most difficult shows due to the tiredness, but we all gave our best.... what did help was that the onstage sound was excellent..... The best I have had.... the only show I have ever played where I can actually hear what I was playing.... so well done for that”, -  Aort, CODE

"We all enjoyed the festival and it was a great experience. I loved the festival area and the atmosphere there. Believe me, I will recommend your fest to anyone, if it comes to talk. I think that "atmospherewise" this was among the coolest fests since OPEN HELL days... Even had the weather gods with you!", - Sverker, DIABOLICAL

"On behalf of BILOCATE to show our appreciation and gratitude for giving us the great chance of performing in your respected DEVILSTONE Open-Air Festival, it was an experience that none of the members will ever forget. We would also like to thank you and all the team of DEVILSTONE Open-Air Festival for their professionalism and the organized work that have been made, also our show would not have been so amazing if it wasn't for the great Lithuanian people who showed their enthusiasm and support for us. We hope that we were up to your expectations and I'm sure that we will meet up again really soon", - Hani Al Abbadi, BILOCATE

"Thanks very much to you all! We found ourselves greatly at the fest, everything has been well organized and everyone at the VIP zone has been kind and available! We wish you all the best for the next editions! Grazie mille again", - Claudio Cappabianca, THE PROWLERS

"Thank you very much for letting us come and play at the festival! We had a great time over there and you guys treated us very nicely so thanks a lot for that! I'm really hoping for you that there was enough visitors for you to consider repeating the succes in the coming years.Say hi to the other folks (especially Chris and Daina)", - Andreas, CROCELL
