Peu de chances que le festival soit maintenu aux dates prévues, le Baden Württemberg faisant l'objet des mêmes mesures de restriction que chez nous à partir de capacités de 1000 personnes, mais l'orga' espère pouvoir négocier :

Hi Friends,

since we are getting questions about Corona Virus and KEEP IT TRUE, here is an update. The German state Baden Württemberg, where KIT is located, decided today to ban all shows and events with over 1000 people attending, without a time limit for now. We will have a meeting and discussion with the city of Lauda at the end of March. Till then we can do close to nothing and only wait for the future decisions of the state. We ask you to be patient till then. We will do everything in our power to make KIT happen on the original date, but also work on a plan B if we are not allowed to do it in April. We will keep you updated on our facebook site and hope for your understanding!

Et voilà, le festival est donc reporté au 20-22/08, soit en même temps que les Golden Age Rock et l'U.K. Deathfest.
Je me doute que l'orga' ne devait pas avoir énormément de choix dans les dates, mais c'est vraiment malheureux...

Tous les groupes n'étant pas forcément disponibles pour les nouvelles dates, l'affiche définitive reste à confirmer :

Hallo Friends

First of all THANK YOU for the patience with us. For a longer time, we followed how the situation with the virus evolves and what consequences it has. We hoped we could still do the festival on its original date. But the safety of our fans, bands and of course our crew is the most important for us and we won't take any risks for that. Additional to that you all need to plan your hotels and travels and so we cannot wait till the last minute and risk everything. So we decided to move the festival to August 20-22 2020. We already talked to every band and most of them will also be able to play in August. With a handful we try to find solutions to make it possible, but it looks like most of the festival will stay like it is now. As soon as all bands are confirmed, we will let you know of course. Of course all the tickets for the festival and the warm up show will stay valid. We already want to thank you for your support and keeping the faith with us. This is a very hard time for us, that will also cause a huge financial investment by us. But we will never let you down and will always try to do the very best for you!

Metal On

Oli + Tarek


Pour le moment il n'est fait état d'aucun remboursement possible ni d'échange pour l'année suivante, ce qui signifie que ceux que les nouvelles dates n'arrangent pas devront les revendre eux-mêmes, pas terrible pour le coup...

Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, limitations on gatherings and restriction of travel, Elixir regret that the following shows have been cancelled:

23rd April - Ragnarok Live Club, Bree, Belgium,

25th April - Keep It True Festival, Lauda-Koenigshofen, Germany

26th April - Negasonic, Aalst, Belgium

Keep It True is hoping to re-schedule for August, but unfortunately, Elixir will not be able to play on the re-scheduled date.

This is, of course, disappointing for the band, but we hope that you understand that this situation is out of our control.

Elixir hope that the situation changes in time for their upcoming shows at the Into Battle Festival, Athens, in December and Bro Fest, Newcastle, UK next February.

In the meantime, the band will be working hard in rehearsals, getting the new line-up into tip-top shape, to bring you the best possible show, when we can finally play for you again.

Please stay safe and well, and we hope to see you out there again soon. As always, thanks for your support.

Hi Friends,

unfortunately we are also not allowed to hold the KEEP IT TRUE Festival in August. All major events in Germany are prohibited until August 31, and unfortunately we also fall under this category. We support this decision by the government, because even under the extreme conditions a KIT feeling would never be possible and the health and safety of the fans, bands and helpers is of course important to us. That is why we have been working intensively on a solution for a long time. We would now like to present this to you.

KEEP IT TRUE XXIII will be a one off three day festival PLUS the Warm Up Show in Dittigheim in 2021. That means the Warm Up Show will take place on Wednesday, April 21, 2021 in Dittigheim. The big KIT Festival from April 22nd to April 24th in the Tauberfrankenhalle in Lauda-Königshofen. We were able to move ALL bands from 2020 to 2021. However, we had already booked several, some of them exclusive, bands for 2021 and we don't want to push them back to a later date. That's why on Thursday there will be another day of the same quality, which we will offer you for 49 Euros + advance booking fees, which is also extremely important for the continued existence of the festival. Holders of 2020 tickets can buy these tickets in advance exclusively until September 30th, 2020. We will publish information about the pre-sale start and the conditions in the coming days. However, you will need your KIT 2020 card number and everyone can only buy one ticket, but there won't be any shipping costs. All information will be announced in the coming days.

Due to the fact that CIRITH UNGOL have already released their album and Flint cannot participate, there will only be one headliner show of them. This will take place on Friday. The headliner on Saturday will be LOUDNESS with a long, exclusive 40th Anniversary Show with only 80s songs. As CoHeadliner, we were able to book GEOFF TATE on Saturday with an exclusive show in which he will play the complete "Rage For Order" (35th Anniversary) and only songs from the EP and "The Warning". As a Thursday headliner we were able to book the genious ARIA from Russia again, this time with one of their very rare headliner shows in Western Europe. One of the best live bands on the planet. We will publish all separate information about all bands that will appear on Thursday on our Facebook page every day. You can find the complete line up here.

To Summarize:

All tickets from 2020 remain valid for 2021. This applies to the festival (Fri. and Sat.) as well as the Warm Up Show.
If you cannot attend the 2021 event, we would like to ask you to offer the tickets either on our Facebook event page or privately to friends. The festival is completely sold out and reselling shouldn't be a big problem. Refunds are an existential problem for us and therefore we would like to ask you to use the reselling option.
The solution with the three full days will only be for this special situation in 2021.

We would like to thank you for your loyalty and support over many years. The reactions to our KEEP IT TRUE TV were outstanding, we would also like to say thank you for that. We try everything to offer you a unique concert experience and therefore often go different ways, this time too. We hope we can rely on your support in the future too. Here is the COMPLETE billing for 2021. Details about the individual "new" bands in the coming days

Hello friends,

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: Unfortunately we cannot hold the KEEP IT TRUE Festival in April 2021 either. The current situation does not allow a regular KIT under any circumstances. Events are not allowed, nor is it possible to fly in any bands. We have observed the situation till, but it is also important for you to plan and that is why we have decided to postpone the KIT to April 27-30, 2022.

To Summarize:

- All tickets from 2020/2021 remain valid for 2022. This applies to the festival (Thur., Fri. and Sat.) as well as the Warm Up Show.
If you cannot attend the 2022 event, we would like to ask you to offer the tickets either on our Facebook event page or privately to friends. The festival is completely sold out and reselling shouldn't be a big problem. Refunds are an existential problem for us and therefore we would like to ask you to use the reselling option.

Unfortunately this time we couldn't postpone all the bands for a year. Due to scheduling conflicts, Sabbat, Metalucifer, Visigoth and Blood Star cannot appear in 2022, but we will of course make up for them and replace these bands adequately. Legend have to cancel completely. Drummer and last original member Ray Frigon doesn't want to travel to Europe anymore under the conditions (vaccinations etc.) at the age of 66

2/3 of the tickets for KIT Thursday are sold, here you can find the remaining tickets.

However, we still kept one option open. If it is possible to hold a regular KIT in October 2021, we will do that. However, that would be a "new" KIT with a completely new line-up and ticket sales. The current tickets would not apply to this. We will only decide for it, when it is 100% certain that we are allowed to host KIT regularly. We hope to know more in late summer. We definitely reserved the venue for the whole of October. We think that this variant is the fairest and most transparent for you. We definitely don't want to announce something again and have to postpone it again.

We would like to thank you for your loyalty and support over many years. The reactions to our KEEP IT TRUE TV are outstanding, we would also like to say thank you for that. We try everything to offer you a unique concert experience and therefore often go different ways, this time too. We hope we can rely on your support in the future too. Here is the billing for 2022 so far. We will update you on the pending and replacement bands hopefully very soon.

Hello friends,

Finally we have some great news again.
First of all, BLOOD STAR could solve their scheduling conflicts and are back in the billing for KIT 2022, which makes us really happy since we wanted them badly.
And additionally we can announce a great reunion for KIT 2022. British melodic Speed Metal legends TRÖJAN and their follow up band TALIÖN will play a combined show playing all their classics from both killer albums “Chasing The Storm” and “Killing The World” exclusively first at KIT 2022. We tried a long time and finally we could arrange it.

We are [also] happy to announce the next replacement band for KEEP IT TRUE 2022:
After the amazing Re-release by Lost Realm Records, late NWOBHM legends SLANDER will return exclusively at KIT 2022.
With "Careless Talk Costs Lives" they created a late classic of the NWOBHM.

Please enjoy!

Hello friends,

It's very difficult for us to post our announcement due to the current and horrible situation in Ukraine, but unfortunately we can't keep you waiting any longer because you also have to plan too.
The whole KIT family is thinking of everyone who is currently in need and we hope that this madness will end soon. In addition, we are considering a fundraising campaign by us as a scene for all victims of the senseless war of aggression.
But at the end of this statement there is at least positive news to look forward to.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
Unfortunately we will not be able to do the KEEP IT TRUE Festival in April 2022 either.
A festival like KIT with its many bands from all over the world and especially from the USA requires a certain time ahead and planning time. We've been waiting for a long time now, following the news and information every day, but time is simply running out and the risk is increasing.
As of now, despite the promised lifting of many restrictions in Germany until March 20th, we do not know whether and under what conditions the festival could take place, which is why we made the decision to postpone the KIT to April 19-22, 2023.
The KIT is an international event with many bands from all over the world. At the moment, even after the lifting of many restrictions, it is not certain whether we can hold full capacity and if the mask is still mandatory at indoor events.
Some of the bigger bands like Loudness, Heathen, Griffin, Realm or Infernal Majesty had already canceled for 2022 and postponed to 2023. Even if it were allowed at the time of KIT at the end of April, we could not offer you what you bought the ticket for.
That's why we think it's fairer for everyone that we postpone the entire billing to 2023, 95% of the bands have already agreed to it, we're only talking to two bands about the date.
The same billing on a different date would also be unfair to anyone who couldn't on that new date, so we chose the most honest and most transparent method.
It breaks our hearts as much as yours that we have to postpone again, but unfortunately we have no other choice. Anything else would be a suicide mission and endanger the existence of the festival.

Basically:
All tickets remain valid for 2023.
This applies to the festival (Thursday, Friday and Saturday) as well as the Warm Up Show.
If you are unable to attend the 2023 event, we would like to ask you to offer the tickets either on our Facebook event page or privately to friends. The festival is completely sold out on Friday and Saturday and reselling shouldn't be a big problem. Refunds mean an existential problem for us and we would therefore like to ask you to refrain from doing so.

Billets

Hello friends,

[W]e [...] want to keep you up to date with the "regular" KIT in April 2023.
We would also like to thank you for the years of trust in us and hope that in April we can finally let the festival take place as it should be. It's really not easy for us and an extreme effort, but we can all do it together!!

This time again we were able to keep the majority of the billing stable for years, but unfortunately ARIA (for the obvious reasons), INFERNAL MAJESTY (they want to wait and see how everything develops and don't book any shows for now, but we have them firmly planned for 2024 ) and HEATHEN (did their big summer tour already in 2022) will have to cancel.
We moved Gravestone and Riot City to KIT Rising 2.
In addition, we wanted to get back to the maximum number of ten bands per day, recently too many bands had simply accumulated due to being postponed.
But we are happy to welcome the fantastic PAGAN ALTAR to the Friday billing. The band continues to be a force live.
We also decided to put VISIGOTH on Thursday as co-headliner, because the band worked hard and haven't performed in Germany for a long time.
We were able to book HAIL MARY as the third band. Behind it is the original TRIPLE AXE ATTACK by LEATHERWOLF, Michael Olivieri, Geoff Gayer and Carey Howe. The line up is completed by longtime Leatherwolf bassist Patrick Guyton and drummer Marco Forcone. The boys will be performing a flawless Leatherwolf set!
[...]
It is a great pleasure for us to be able to announce a really extreme cult band for our KIT in April 2023.
The cult surrounding WITCHSLAYER from Chicago is based on the brilliant song "I Don't Want To Die" from Metal Massacre Sampler 4. At that time they only released a demo, but apart from the sampler contribution there was never a real release from the band. Now the band has reunited and re-recorded all of their old songs from back then in a brilliant and old school way. For us it's one of the best US Metal albums of the last decades. That's why we just had to book the band for KIT, because we created the festival for bands like WITCHSLAYER almost 20 years ago!
[...]
Unfortunately, two bands had to cancel KIT in April 2023, but we have replacements ready right away.

Unfortunately the singer left REALM and the band will need some time to see how it goes on. Instead we can announce the Canadian legend MESSIAH FORCE in the original line up. The band will play their first European show exclusively at KIT. We're really looking forward to it!

Also, Persian Risk have to cancel because singer Carl Sentance has shows with Nazareth at the same time. However, we were able to confirm the NWOBHM legend WITCHFYNDE with Andro Coulton as a replacement.

Just to confirm again. The tickets purchased for Friday and Saturday of 2019/2020 will of course remain valid, same goes for the additionally purchased tickets for Thursday.

75% of the tickets for the KIT Thursday are sold, here you can find the remaining tickets, the rest of the festival is completely sold out [...] and the tickets are of course still valid.

Hello friends,

unfortunately BLEAK HOUSE have to postpone their performance at KEEP IT TRUE because a band member has to undergo a serious operation. We will try to book the band again in 2024.

Instead, Northern Irish NWOBHM legend SWEET SAVAGE will play an old school set on KIT Thursday. Along with bands like Diamond Head, the band around singer and bassist Ray Heller was one of the biggest sources of inspiration for Metallica, who covered "Killing Time", and other Bay Area bands. We are very happy that the band will play an old school set especially for us.

Just to confirm again. The tickets purchased for Friday and Saturday of 2019/2020 will of course remain valid, same goes for the additionally purchased tickets for Thursday.
