Welcome to the Practical Info section. In the following, you’ll find all the info needed for your stay here in Copenhagen.
Capacity
Due to fire regulations we can only have 600 people in the venue at any given time.
Here are the capacity numbers of our 3 stages:
Main Stage/KranSalen: 600 cap.
Black Stage/Den Sorte Sal: 400 cap.
Outdoor stage/ByHaven: 400 – 600 cap
Info point
During the festival if you have any questions concerning the festival please find us at the info stand located near the entrance.
There you will find people from the organizing crew that will do their best to help you out.
We will have printed programmes which will be handed out when you check in where you will find all the necessary information including running order,
band descriptions, events, basic information about the festival area, getting around Copenhagen etc.
If you feel harassed or threatened by someone present at the festival, please get a hold of the security present at the doors and walking around the festival area.
Venue & Check In
When you arrive please go to the info point and check in with your ticket.
We will open for check in at 12.00, so please arrive early, so we can avoid the bottleneck when the doors open.
Tickets will be scanned so you can either bring a print of your E-ticket or just have it on your phone (just like in an airport).
When you check in you will get an embroidered wristband and a printed programme.
If you have purchased a KTDF package you will get that at the same time.
Programme
We have chosen to have no bands overlapping each other, since we think all bands booked are great and deserve a chance to be seen.
Therefore, we will have a band starting every hour on the hour on a different stage.
Byhaven
ByHaven is the outdoor area outside Pumpehuset where you’ll find a selection of bars, food stalls and merch vendors, but just a few since it’s a small area.
This is also where our Outdoor Stage is located where we will have concerts in the afternoon on all days before the shows start inside Pumpehuset.
The area will be admission free at all times, so if you weren’t so lucky to get a ticket for the fest
you are still welcome to come and hang out outside and enjoy the concerts there, buy a beer and chill out.
There will be a seating area in both ends of the yard where you can sit down and relax between shows and smoke since the concert halls are smoking free.
Food
Since it’s a small area we will only have a few options available from the festival and venue – one is the permanent food stall
in Pumpehuset called Yerro which is a Greek inspired restaurant/fast food place. They sell assorted meat and vegetarian dishes.
We will also have a vegan food stall present on the street right outside that will sell burgers and fries.
Since the venue is placed right in the centre of Copenhagen there are plenty of good fast food places and restaurants in the area
where you can get everything your heart desires in case you want to try something different.
Festival Merchandise
Again this year will have a merch stand in ByHaven connected to the info point where we will be selling KTDF XI merch.
We have various designs of t-shirts, longsleeves, hoodies, crewnecks, sweat pants, short shorts, posters, stickers
and KTDF compilation tapes w/ one song from every performing artist on the festival in a nice triple cassette tape box
made as a collaboration with Dessicated Productions.
If you are interested in some of our old merch, we will have a selection of old shirts, posters
and the left overs of the previous compilation tapes available at the merch stand.
Band Merchandise
You’ll find the band merchandise in two different areas of the festival; in the Black Stage area by the entrance/exit
and under the stairs and in the upstairs bar area if you walk up the stairs on the outside of the building.
As a key rule, bands playing downstairs on the Black Stage will be selling their merch there
and bands playing Main Stage will be selling their merch upstairs.
Bands will only be selling merch on the day they play for the most part.
Please support the bands by buying their merch since this is their main income and
in some cases also part of funding their trip to this festival.
Payment options
Besides paying with cash (DKK/Danish Crowns) you can use international credit or debit cards
throughout the venue in the bars and food stalls and in the KTDF merch stall.
Bands usually prefer cash, but some have international card readers with them and some accept PayPal,
but it varies from band to band.
Vendors
Due to a very limited amount of space we can´t invite a lot of vendors for the festival except for Sunday
when the whole Black Stage area turns into the Heavy Thunder Metal Market in the afternoon (see more information below).
We do have a few select labels and other vendors present that you find both upstairs and downstairs.
If you have any question please ask at the infopoint.
Heavy Metal Thunder Market
Are you also a metal collector? Well, then there will be a great opportunity to update your death metal catalogue,
or even complete your Judas Priest assortment, at the Heavy Thunder Metal Market – The Killtown Edition taking place during the day on Gloomy Sunday.
This market will contain: LPs, CDs, Cassettes, T-shirts, pins, etc. 2nd hand but also new stuff! NO entrance fee and everyone will be able to access this event.
The market is open from 12-15.30 and will take place inside Pumpehuset on the ground floor (Black Stage room).
