Dead Man's Hand Feststival

In the organizer's words:

With the Dead Man's Hand Festival, Lucky Bob Music Agency celebrates its tenth anniversary on December 7, 2025 - and at the same time kicks off a new, energetic festival in the German metal landscape. The first edition of the Dead Man's Hand Festival will take place in a legendary venue that is familiar to every metalhead from the Ruhr region and for some is already their second living room: the Zeche Bochum!

The anniversary concept brings together bands from the current artist roster: but from 2026, the festival is set to open up more broadly and become a regular fixture on the festival scene.

The overarching theme of the festival will be "Casino". A tribute to the "Ace Of Spades" symbol from the Lucky Bob logo - and thus also to the risk, passion and gambling with fate that characterizes the live industry so much.

This year's line-up has something for metal fans of the first hour as well as for those who like it a little more modern.

Among other things, we will be welcoming RAGE with the Lingua Mortis Orchestra to our stage as the grand finale of the first edition, which is the first show with this concept in the Ruhr area for many years.

In addition, Orphaned Land, also with orchestra, will pay us a visit, and together with Tri State Corner, these two bands will take us into more oriental realms.

Those who like it a little more modern and heavier will be served right at the beginning with Broken Fate and Mission In Black. So there really is something for everyone here!

Tickets will be available at all known advance booking offices. Be there when an unpredictable game is played at the Dead Man's Hand Festival!
