Dare to enter the dark and immersive world of Fortress Festival! Allow these photos to take you directly to the centre of the stronghold: From the fierce intensity of 1349‘s black metal assault to the colourful energy of other great acts we witnessed on Day 1. A huge thank you to Dominic from 3nation for having us!
