The first Blackfield Festival on 5th & 6th July 2008 already prepares to be a top class Open Air Event that fuses the different styles of the scene in a unique live concept. A festival with international acquainted stars like LACRIMOSA, NITZER EBB, SUBWAY TO SALLY (Winners of the this year’s Bundesvision Song Contest) [:SITD:] SCHANDMAUL an THE CRÜXSHADOWS paired with a great line-up of up and Cumming bands like SAMSAS  TRAUM, SPETSNAZ, REAPER and many others promise a weekend, that will make all black hearts leap with joy.

But the exceptional about the Blackfield is - besides its top class line-up - also the motto of the organizer “From the scene, for the scene” that makes this concert event so matchless. The doers want to feed fresh blood into the Scene spirit again, which is constantly decreasing for years now. The Blackfield Festival stands for an event with a 100% reference to the scene. Here are people behind the scenes, who are actively participating in the built-up of many acts for years and now assemble them in an adequate frame. It was important to the organizers during the planning of the festivals that the audience is able to experience all performing acts (There will be no overlaps because there’s only one Main Stage). Everywhere in the great location of the Amphitheater in Gelsenkirchen there is an optimal view on the event. The Beverages / Food prices are fair and decent. There are many services (Bus Shuttle from several German cities, setup of the tent and so on).
