statement
With great regret, we must inform you that Graveland Festival 2025 will not take place. With only 10 weeks remaining, it has become clear that the festival is not financially viable. Despite our extensive efforts to promote the event, ticket sales have fallen short of the necessary threshold to cover the substantial costs. We had hoped for a turnaround until the very last moment, but unfortunately, it did not happen.
We understand the disappointment this may cause. Rising costs in recent years have made it increasingly difficult to sustain the event, and regrettably, this year it has proven impossible to bridge the financial gap. Graveland has never been a large commercial festival—it has always been a passion project, built on love for music and its dedicated community, supported by a team of committed volunteers.
To mitigate the impact, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the festival in advance. All ticket holders are eligible for a full refund; alternatively, they may choose to donate their ticket fee to help offset the financial burden. We kindly ask all ticket buyers to complete the online form on our website, www.graveland-fest.com, by April 30, 2025, to indicate their preference.
We are deeply grateful for the support we have received over the years—from those who have attended past editions to those who were eagerly anticipating this year’s festival. While this is a significant setback, the heavy music scene is resilient. Let us continue to support one another, and we look forward to future reunions—wherever they may be.
