Prophecy Fest announce the return of their popular outdoor celebration on Thursday in 2024. The Prophetic Overture will offer a joyful gathering with mostly acoustic music around barbecue fires as well as the popular welcome drink.
The musical part of Thursday’s festivities presents unique performances. The early highlights assembled for the Prophetic Overture include a dark ambient set of Californian electronic music innovators THIEF, German neofolk transforming act VRÎMUOT, pagan Anglo-Saxon guests WOLCENSMEN, Dutch crowd favourite THURNIN, and the dark folk collective NEUN WELTEN returning to Balve.
Prophecy Fest comment: „It seems that the Thursday has developed a life of its own“, fest and label founder Martin Koller reflects. „The Prophetic Overture means that the large majority of guests already arrives for the open air celebration; and not only because of the free beer but rather due to the special acoustic performances each year. We always got beautiful surprises from artists presenting their music from a different angle, and I am confindent that this will happen in 2024 as well. “
Prophecy Fest 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“). The three-day event will begin on Thursday, September 5 and it will conclude with a last concert starting before midnight of Saturday, September 7.
