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.
