THANKS FOR A GREAT FESTIVAL

Thank you so much for a great festival - we had the best time!
We've finished everything up for this year, but if you should have questions of any kind please write us.

We're currently trying to update our "Past Festivals"-section with pictures, articles and videos. Please get in touch if you have anything you'd like to share.

Thanks to everyone who attended, played, did volunteerwork, workshops, screened movies and spinned vinyls - without you, this would'nt be possible!

See you at K-Town Hardcore Fest 2014!

CANCELLATION: ANXIETY

Unfortunately ANXIETY (swe) have cancelled their gig on the Punx Picnic. Instead, KORP (swe) will perform! They describe their music as witch-käng from the dark mountains, so you know it'll be good!

Radio stream online

The radio-thing we did last sunday is up for streaming. Although its in danish, there's loads of good music to get you in the right festival mood, so check it out! Thanks to the nice people at Christianshavns Lokalradio!

K-Town Hardcore Fest in the radio

... Yeah, that's right. We're going on air over at Virus Radio on Christianshavns Radio this sunday from 18-19.30! We'll be talking a little about the fest and of course play some tunes from the festival bands, so be sure to turn on your radio! For you foreigners, the radio is usually made into a podcast a couple of days after it's aired. We'll provide a link when that happens.

In the meantime, check out the two flyers we've recently produced with important info!
