Dear fans and friends of the Thrash Festival,

we regret to inform you that the Thrash Festival at JunkYard Dortmund this coming Saturday cannot take place as planned.
The singer Hannes from The Idiots has unfortunately fallen ill at short notice and therefore cannot perform. We would like to take this opportunity to wish Hannes a speedy recovery!

We are currently working hard to find a solution and are checking whether the festival can be postponed or rescheduled for a later date.
Please be patient - we are currently in consultation with the other bands to make the best possible decision.
As soon as we have any news, we will of course inform you immediately.

We know how much you were looking forward to the festival - we feel the same way. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Your Thrash Festival Team
