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!"

"We only make an album when we feel genuinely inspired. You can't just say, "OK, I'm going to record a new album", because without inspiration, it would be boring." - Gregor Mackintosh
"I find it really bizarre, because right after the concert, you're already on the internet. I mean, come on. It's very different from how it used to be, but it's fine." - Anja Huwe
"I always wanted to express my emotions with my music, and this is what I do. And I think true music lovers feel when music is coming from the heart." - Tilo Wolff
