Lake on Fire (LOF) is a summer open air Stoner Rock festival. Typically taking place in August, the event is annually held in the small village of Waldhausen im Strudengau, in Austria.
Lake on Fire is distinctive for it's floating stage on the Nepomukteich, with the audience on the waterfront and many concert viewers in the water itself. Initially starting as a single-day party with largely local acts, it's expanded into a two day event hosting bands from around the world. Notably the majority proceeds of Lake on Fire are donated to charities, specifically children's aid.

The 2020 edition of Lake on Fire Festival was originally intended for 31 July - 2 August 2020. However with the COVID-19 Pandemic the country of Austria decided that events and festivals would be prohibited through late August. Thus the 2020 edition would be moved to 2021. Lake on Fire would also donate 1.500€ to the neunerhaus in Vienna, an organisation that helps homeless people with food and medical care.[14] A 2021 edition would also be proposed but ultimately would not take place due to the lingering effects of The CO-VID19 Pandemic.[15]
