It came to our attention that many fake Facebook Keep It True groups were created where fake accounts are trying to sell tickets. We only have one official group which is called " Keep it True Festival Official discussion group". We never had e-tickets for April Warm-up and we never sold Warm-up tickets for 49 eur with bad AI design.![]()
We tried to report every fake groups and people but Facebook is not doing anything about it...![]()
Thank you for your attention!

I was a Die Hard Manowar Fan since the mid 80s, I saw and adored him since my first show in 1986. I went to every tour since then...![]()

I got to meet him in person for the first time at the Earthshaker festival in 2005 and we became friends. I introduced him to Majesty and Tarek Maghary and also Atlantean Kodex for whom he recorded a solo and me some backing vocals. I helped creating his first solo band with Matze Mayer , Carsten Kettering and Patrick Fuchs. It was his rebirth, the shows were exciting and I am still so happy I could convince him going back to his Manowar days. ![]()
He even headlined my 40th birthday party together with Oliver Barth and Powerwolf.![]()

Ross' playing was unique. Rooted in Blues and Rock 'n' Roll, he created Epic Metal together with his Ying/Yang partner Joey DeMaio. These immortal hymns will live forever and will sound in Valhallas great hall. ![]()
