Running order
The running order will be published as soon as it is finished. Unlike other festivals, Prophecy Fest will not start with the most “unknown“ artist and end with the “headliners“. To the label, they are all headliners and were chosen because they expect an amazing performance from them. Therefore, all artists will have the playing time they need for their performance, and the running order will reflect what the label considers the optimum in terms of dramaturgy and suspension.
Tickets
Ticket price is 58.00 € per ticket. Ticket includes a hardcover program book with festival sampler CD. Tickets are limited to 1,250. For now, pre-orders are exclusively for people who made a ticket reservation. These will get an email with the link to buy their ticket in advance. The exclusive pre-order will be available for four weeks after the label sends the info. Following this period they will sell the remaining tickets publicly. Click here for ticket reservation.
