One month to go - time to deal with the FAQ for UTBS2025!
If there are still any open questions, don't hesitate to put them in the comments or send a pm. We're going to answer - at least the serious ones - as soon as possible.
1. Is camping possible next to my car?
Yes, you can put your tent right next to the car on the camp ground.
2. Can I bring my favourite battle axe/combat knife/AR-15/rocket launcher/whatever?
No. And if your knife is useful for more than getting butter on your bread for breakfast, please leave it at home as well. Same goes for pyros and all the likes of items, you won't usually bring to a music festival. There will be checks on the festival entrance.
Further: it's not allowed to bring your dog or whatever pet you might have. Please spare the animals from the stress of a festival. Thank you.
3. Will there be showers/water access on the camp ground?
Sadly, we won't have showers, as most of them are STILL not available due to the war in Ukraine and the leftovers are WAY BEYOND expensive (talking 1k+ per single unit). Nonetheless, there will be access to cold water, so if the weather turns out to be massively heated, you can just use one of the hoses to cool down.
The off-road shower we set up last year will be back!
4. Can I setup my grill station?
This is highly dependent on the weather, as there might be a high fire risk when we get a drought again. We cannot predict the weather situation, so please act responsibly. There will be food trucks on the festival area to supply you over the weekend.
5. Can I bring glass bottles to the festival?
Yes, you are free to bring glass bottles to the camp ground, but not to the stage area. Anyhow, please keep glass of any kind to a reasonable minimum to reduce possible risks of injury and provide easier waste disposal. Thank you.
666. Can I play my music on the camp ground?
Yes, but please keep in mind that during night times, some people actually want to sleep. So please keep the volume on a level that won't piss off your neighbors.
7. Can you provide accommodation in Friesack?
We have no possibilities apart from the camp ground. If you need an appartment, want to rent a hotel room etc., please check Google, Booking and the likes for yourself.
8. Can you provide a flight or train service from location X to the festival area?
Sorry, we don't have the budget to buy planes, trains and build tracks. For a fitting solution, please see section 7.
9. What is the earliest I can arrive/ latest I have to leave?
You are free to arrive at the camp ground at Wednesday, 02.07.2025, from 4:00pm (16:00). We must ask you to leave until following Sunday, 4pm (16:00).
10. Will there be extra fees/deposits/whatever?
We won't charge any fees for the camp ground, nor deposits for trash etc. But please, leave the camp ground as you found it and put all the trash in the containers we provide.
As it happened last year: putting glowing embers from your barbeque station into the garbage cans will cause fires. DO NOT DO THIS AGAIN. Thank you.
11. Are generators allowed on the camp ground?
Yes, but please don't have them running constantly and if your neighbors are annoyed, please consider moving your camp. There is enough room on the camp ground.
12. Where is Joerg?
Ah, you're playing, too? Nobody knows!
13. Can I get beer even after the last band finished playing?
Yes, there will be a possibility for you to get fresh beer on the camp ground, so the party can go on until next morning.
14. What if I lost my festival bracelet during the festival?
Once you enter the festival area the first time, you get a bracelet in exchange for your ticket (hard-/e-/CTS-ticket). If you kinda manage to rip it off your wrist, bring it to the entrance to receive a new one. If you lose it completely, there will be no chance to get a new one for free.
15. Can I bring my kids to the festival?
Children between 0 and 6 years of age don't have access to the concert area. Youths between 7 and 16 years of age have access only accompanied by a legal guardian or person having the care and custody of the child. Youths of 16 years of age and older have access until 24:00 only with written consent of a legal guardian. Persons having the care and custody of child must carry the written agreement for custody and must present a copy of the ID card of the legal guardian.
Children from the age of 12 need a ticket.
Still, we HIGHLY advice to not bring children as a Black Metal festival simply might not be a suitable surrounding. We are not having what you would call a family-friendly environment and yes, there might even be animal blood in the air sometimes.
16. If you have any disabilities and need more info (e.g. about wheelchair accessibility etc), please contact us and we'll provide additional info about the location in those regards.

Friendly reminder: if you're not coming with a car or need accomodation, the area around train station Berlin/Spandau might be an option. There will be a shuttle going from the festival area at 01:30 am, after the last band stopped playing on Friday and Saturday night. Means, when no delays occur, you can see everything and still get to your accomodation in Berlin!

During the cold moons of the year 2012, two metal musicians from North Rhine-Westphalia decided to combine their creative forces. From this alliance, PESTLEGION developed into a four piece which favors what made Black Metal famous in the 90’s: Uncompromisingness on an advanced technical level. Just today, they released a new video with a song from their upcomming split!
We're looking forward to their live appearance, creating an ice cold atmosphere at UTBS2025!
