CANCELLED! Winterfylleth Acoustic Performance, ARD

We regret to inform you that, due to the cancelation of Wacken Winternights, Winterfylleth are left with no choice but to cancel this mini tour. They are sorry to disappoint you all, but between losing the main gig and predicted horrible weather, this tour is no longer viable for them. We understand this completely and hope they will one day grace our stage.

People that have bought a ticket for this show will automatically be refunded. The money will be transferred back to your account in the coming days.

We are proud to present to you an evening that will be remembered for a long time to come. Winterfylleth will play an acoustic set of songs from their

The Hallowing of Heirdom album. Candlelit and in an intimate setting, their beautiful melodies and voices will carry you to a place out of time.

Support will be given by ARD, a soloproject of Mark Deeks, a member of Winterfylleth. He will play some haunting, melancholic and stunning piano compositions for you, weaving spells around the listener.

Make no mistake, this will be a special night and you should not miss this!!
