We announce new bands for the 2023 edition every first of the month. Today, we have a special one! 

Motörhead legend Phil Campbell will play an exclusive Dutch festival show with his Bastard Sons. In 2020, five years after the death of Motörhead frontman Lemmy, Phil Campbell decided to honor the legacy. Together with The Bastard Sons he brings a full Motörhead set to Pitfest.
 
In addition, the Australian thrashers Harlott and the Dutch hardcore band Lies! are also announced. Harlott was already on the poster for the fifth edition at an earlier stage, but due to the corona pandemic, the band had to let it pass. Lies! was on the fifth edition, but corona threw a spanner in the works there too. One of the band members had to cancel at the last minute, forcing the band to limit their setlist to 4 songs. They will therefore be taking the rematch for 2023.

That brings the total now to 8 announced bands. Over 40 bands will come to Emmen next year, from June 30 to July 2, 2023.

Well, well, look what the cat dragged in. Three more additions to our 2023 bill.

Death metal legends GRAVE had to cancel their Pitfest 2022 show and they really wanted to play in 2023. Of course we are very pleased to have them on our bill! 

So you like black metal? And Rock and roll? And thrash metal? Then get ready for a crushing live show by Midnight!

They’ve already tore down the Pitfest house twice. If you’re going to tear down houses anyway, you better become the house band of Pitfest. Please welcome back local heroes Skroetbalg!

Tickets are on sale on our website!

Grave (SWE), Midnight (USA) and Skroetbalg (NL) confirmed for 2023

We had an evaluation meeting about Pitfest 2022 this week and wanted to share a few things.

First: the complete organization crew is still in awe. Pitfest 2022 was a goddamn blast! 

And we also listened to tips and advice and see areas for improvement for 2023.
𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲:
- no more cashless payment system (tokens will probably be back). The cashless system just has too many flaws for us and you to function the way it should;
- we are working on a new system for the hard cups. The deposit system also has some issues that could be smoother and/or better;
- we’re going to try to get an alternative for the dixies on the campsite;
- campingbar and campingshop will probably be combined into one area;
- a wider range of food;
- parking will be free of charge;
- no more toilet wristbands (it’s included in the ticket pricing);

Peace out.
