The Dortmund Deathfest is a festival founded by Mike Heinemann and Lukas Swiaczny. On two stages (an outdoor stage with a capacity of 1500 visitors and an indoor stage with a capacity of 500 visitors) we give death metal, thrash metal, grindcore and deathcore bands from all over the world the opportunity to bring their art to the german audience. The Dortmund Deathfest also supports smaller and local bands and offers them a stage.
