What started as a small festival remained a small festival for small bands that became big names after they played there. It´s still a mystery how the guys around Matte and Ralf manage to keep on carrying the torch and the spirit of this festival around the Lake of Alperstedt. Everything is a bit special there: the line-up with daily surprises, the audience among we meet old friends and gain some new with every edition, the friendly and funny staff which keeps the festival running.

These two screenshots from November 24th, 2024 show the views of the official Hellfest aftermovie. Hellfest is the largest, best decorated festival in Europe, where we spent a month of our lives.

So what could be the reason for this? I guess, the...

From its beginnings in the Munich club Feierwerk in 2013, Keep it low has grown to a size that makes organizers, bands and the audience happy. There are enough parking areas and hotels around the Backstage; for most of the bands the Backstage was the biggest location on their ongoing or terminating tour. The Munich Backstage, with its three venues "Werk", "Halle" and "Club", together with the adjoining outdoor area with beer garden and bars, is the perfect size for concerts and cozy chilling....
