Freak Valley Festival 2020 Postponed to June 2021

I knew this was coming — we all did — and I readily acknowledge that people are losing their lives and there are bigger concerns at play here than the fact that I don’t get to fly to Germany and see cool bands in June, but damnit, this was gonna be my year! And a fucking pandemic breaks out? Seriously? After years of being invited, after having a friggin’ Obelisk logo on the poster for the fest — next to the bloody likes of Rockpalast; do you have any idea what an HONOR that is? — I was finally, finally, finally going to make the journey to Siegen and bask in the glory of Freak Valley Festival. And, well, here we are.

Again, I know there are life-and-death concerns here, and I’m not at all advocating the position that they fest should take place as was planned for this June — it absolutely should not — but I just needed to take a second, step back, and whine about it for a while.

I was going to see Beastwars… I was going to hang out with the Slomatics guys…

I’m allowed to be bummed about this stuff.

Thank you for your indulgence.

I wrote this announcement, and it was painful to write, but I do honestly believe that the festival will work to build an even stronger 2021, and the invite has already come in, you can bet your ass that — notwithstanding global catastrophe — I’ll be there.

freak valley 2020 off

Hi Freaks,

Well, we all know why we’re here, right?

Believe us when we say we’ve held out hope as long as we could — and we’re sorry for the delay in news — but with Germany putting the lock on live shows until Aug. 31, obviously we’ll have to postpone Freak Valley until next year.

Here’s what you need to know quickly:

– FVF will happen June 3-5 2021.
– Your 2020 tickets remain valid for the 2021 fest.
– If you want/need to get a refund, email tickets@freakvalley.de. This option is valid till September 30 2020.

Every year, we sit down and think about what would make the most amazing heavy festival possible, and then we pour our hearts into making it happen. After 2019, we knew this year was going to blow doors down and we are crushed to not be able to see it do exactly that.

Of course the health of our beloved freaks, our performers, our crews and ourselves — let alone anyone else that any of us might come into contact with — has to come first. So here we are.

Today we’re sad not to be able to bring you Freak Valley Festival 2020.

Tomorrow we’re going to get on making Freak Valley 2021 even better.

That’s who we are. That’s what we do. And that’s what’s going to keep us going until all this madness is over and we can all stand together in front of the stage again.

Please stay well, take care of yourselves, and we promise we’ll speak soon.
