Prophecy Fest 2024, which will bring dark, forward-thinking music with an attitude to one of the most fascinating cultural locations again, the legendary, natural Cave of Balve (Balver Höhle), is sold out. The three-day event will begin on Thursday, 5 September and conclude with the last concert starting before midnight on Saturday, 7 September.
Martin Koller, the founder of Prophecy Productions and Prophecy Fest, enthuses: "We thank all our friends that have supported Prophecy Fest by buying their passes early from the bottom of our hearts. Some have even gotten their passes all the way back to the last fest with only a few bands announced. We very much appreciate this show of trust and do our very best to set up an excellent programme. It seems that we have succeeded. As an offer to our loyal guests, we will make it possible again to purchase passes for 2025 in advance at this year's event. We are very much looking forward to see you all in Balve in only a few days!"
