The festival will take place at The Dome in Tufnell Park, London from 17th – 19th of October 2024 w/ 3 days of death metal, 20 bands across 2 stages, with events, distros, food, and drinks. Death metal fiends from across the globe will coagulate. We'll be warming up on Thursday 17th with our pre show party and continuing the fest over Friday and Saturday.

Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday we'll be announcing a new band for you to fiend over, starting with next week! As for general info, KTDF London will be held at the Dome, London from Thursday 17th – Saturday 19th of October. Thursday will be a warm-up show, with Friday and Saturday edging you into a disease-ridden climax of the foulest death metal on earth.
On Monday 22nd April at 16.00 CET we'll announce the first band along with the launch of ticket presales. A limited number of 3-day weekend tickets will be on sale at the price of £110, which you'll be able to purchase from morbidangle.bigcartel.com. We'll also have Friday/Saturday tickets, and single-day tickets for you at a later date.

You can figure out 5 of the bands here I'd imagine crom the tour schedules:
https://killtownbookings.com/currently-booking/

The Fozzilzation & Father Befouled tour will hardly extend another 2 weeks for this though I'd imagine (another Killtown package).

For some reason I'm still holding out hope they'll bring The Chasm over at some stage for a special show.

I'm liking the idea of no gloomy Sunday in the London edition as waiting around on the Sunday and stretching things into Monday was soul destroying for the couple of times I did Copenhagen as you're just wrecked tired at that stage. Two proper days is nore than enough for me.


Capacity seems to be either 500 or 600, and there's 300 of those presale tickets. Waiting around to buy a 2 day ticket instead of a 3 day ticket is a pain in the nads so will probably just buy tomorrow when band #2 is announced.

Hoping for a nice mix and not a lot of samey bands with no on-stage presense or crowd interaction.  :abbath:

I have never heard a note of Mortem. For some reason I've let them pass me by. I'll check them out, not that I'll be at the gig, but just to see if it's of interest to me.

Demon Tales and Devil Speaks in Tongues are my go to but every album is great.

Must check out Mortem. Anatomia a good start, Ossuary and Phobocosm will be excellent. I wonder what UK bands will get on, hopefully Vacuous. Also Slimelord, their latest album is really good, pity about the name. Would any Irish bands be in with a chance of getting on here?

Booked somewhere cheap and basic for this as it is just me heading over. Venue area seems pretty normal, short walk to Camden etc though.

Got my ticket today. 2 of us are heading from Cork, and we're meeting Malco and a buddy from Jersey over. Feel free to join us Crystal Logic and tell us about a misspent youth in Draperstown  ::)

It's a shite name for a band, but they're great. Chytridiomycosis Relinquished is a whopper of an album, death doom on shrooms.

I saw Rippikoulu twice last year. If you like Musta Seremonia EP you won't be disappointed. It's usually well played, they do basically the same setlist for years. Super heavy sound
