Packing has started and therefore we are closing the 25th edition of Under The Black Sun festival. Apart from snow, we experienced almost every weather condition but managed to keep everything running.
We would like to thank everyone involved in making UTBS2024 happen, foremost Irsins Sound, Armageddon Sound Works, MS Backline, Kältetod Legion's stage and backstage crew, our security, the tireless bar-crews supplying you with all the drinks, Lense of Sense for the relentless photo coverage, Mira Grunn for the festival-merch, Warchrist Production for the upcoming full show videos, the shuttle drivers and the many hands and runners. You are the ones making the whole event possible!
Thanks to Partyservice Daniela Prestin, the icecream truck and the cocktail truck for their awesome service! We hope, you had some great meals and drinks when enjoying the concerts.
Once again, huge thanks to all the bands for coming to Friesack and delivering a hell of a show on all three days!
And last but not least, thanks to all the fans for coming to UTBS2024 and making it possible to have another instance of insanity in 2025.
So, we are already looking forward to see you in 2025 - Under The Black Sun!
Cheerz!
Joerg & Erik

As this fake-ticket selling by hacked accounts in the comments still goes wild on Facebook, we were afraid of no danger and stepped right into the enemy's territory.
We could learn a valuable lesson this time: not even official documents like passports, ID cards etc are proof of legitemacy these days. Those are just fetched from the chat history of the hacked account.
Further, the "screenshot" of the ticket looks nothing like any valid ticket, the price for 6 1day-tickets is ridiciously low and he even aggrees to send tickets for a day when the festival is already over.
We're deleting those comments as fast as we can, but we can't be there every minute of the day. When in doubt, contact us and we can verify if the seller is legit or not.
Please, dont fall for the scams. You have been warned!
Side note: if you missed the presale, there are enough tickets at the festival location. No need to panic and fall for dubious offers!
June 27, 2024
The presale for UTBS2024 is over. But don't worry: if you didn't get your ticket yet, you can get yours at the festival gates!

Friday-Saturday: 120€
Single day Thursday: 50€
Single day Friday: 70€
Single day Saturday: 70€
There are PLENTY of tickets left. Don't fall for the scammers in the comments!
See you in Friesack!
