Kill-Town Death Fest XI – the “Stage of Decay” edition is over and what an amazing time it was! Once again we managed to gather the tribe from near and far for 4 days of uncompromising music coupled with beers, fun, friends and also a little sunshine…!
We are humbled as ever over all the compliments and positive feedback we have been receiving. We felt the festival was an overall success and everything went smoothly production-wise etc, so we are happy that it seems you feel the same way!
We want to thank all the people who travelled here from around the world to participate and support this event! Without you guys coming every year this would not be possible.

Of course we also want to thank all the bands for performing at the fest and bringing us some incredible concert experiences!
