Last year's Prophecy Fest was a blast! Fans from 33 countries attented the sold-out event and experienced special performances of bands like Empyrium, Tenhi, Lifelover, Camerata Mediolanense, Amber Asylum and more.
Prophecy Fest 2016 is just around the corner now. Again it will take place at the cave of Balve (Germany), but this time on two days instead of one: July 29 & 30, 2016!
