At a metal festival, in between the great bands and the beer haze, are you ever struck by the thought, "I wonder how they run one of these things?"

Well, U.K.'s Contraband Candy asked Ana Lipec, one of the co-founders of the Slovenian festival Metalcamp, what it takes to get the show on the road.

See the festival in all its crazy glory and find out if you've got what it takes to really make metal happen — or whether you are indeed the lightweight you always knew you were.

Metalcamp is a heavy metal music festival held annually in Tolmin, Slovenia since 2004.

The 2011 edition of Metalcamp will take place from July 11 to July 17.
