Keep it Low 2024 Puts Tickets on Sale; Announces Fu Manchu, Truckfighters, Monolord, Greenleaf & More
If you’re the type who likes to take care of things early, well, you’re apparently in good company with the Munich-based Keep it Low Festival. The two-dayer fest, which is one of many under the umbrella of Sound of Liberation booking, is held annually in October, and that’s when it’s set to take place in 2024 as well, at Backstage in Munich on Oct. 11-12. Tickets, however, are on sale almost 10 full months early.
Why? I’m not sure, but I have a definite answer in “why the hell not?,” and I find that when I try to answer that question, I come up blank. So yeah, it seems like that’s really early, but on the other hand, why not put tickets for next year on sale while people are at the fest this year? It’s different, I don’t know if it’s been done before, but doesn’t that just make it a new idea, and is that something so terrible to be chasing down in a climate where live music is trying to draw people out of the entertainment hotbeds we’ve built in our homes?
I’ve gotten sidetracked from this lineup announcement, which came out the other day from Sound of Liberation and hints toward Fall 2024 European tours for at least Fu Manchu, Monolord, Truckfighters, Greenleaf, Messa and Psychlona, but I like to keep an eye for how things evolve from year to year and for all I know, Keep it Low has been doing this every year for the last decade (happy 10th anniversary, by the way) and I’m just picking up on it now because, well, I’m kinda slow sometimes, but it stood out to me as something you might not see all the time. And maybe you like to make early travel arrangements. I know I do.

Ripple Fest put their first batch of 2024 tickets for sale in the middle of this past year’s fest.
I like the early announcements and sales. I only have so much available money to devote for travel and festivals, so knowing what is available, when it will be, how much it will cost, is really, really helpful. Especially with budgeting.
Heavy Psych Sounds lost my business with their California Fest in 2024 because they slacked on sharing any fest details. Besides just getting frustrated with them after teasing band announcements the following week (3-4 weeks later and no announcements), once Austin Psych Fest shared that amazing Saturday lineup (Witch, Earthless, All Them Witch, etc) I turned my attention to that fest instead…despite the fact that I am already doing Ripple Fest in September and didn’t want to do Austin 2x times in a year (no issues with Austin, just would prefer to be able to check out a different city, rather than the same city twice).
Point being, the sooner these fest get their info out there, the better for me. As soon as I have the one available, I then can commit. It definitely helps with budgeting A LOT.
