Almost exactly two years ago we did our big tribute to the NWOBHM at KEEP IT TRUE Festival RISING 2. Of course PAUL DiANNO had to be part of this. Now I just learned from his manager Stjepan Juras that Paul has passed away. Paul was a legend on his own and not an easy character to deal with, but the first two Iron Maiden albums with him are beyond legendary and its so sad to see such an important part of the whole Metal scene just pass away. I am happy we could have done him at least once on a KIT stage and even though he was grumpy before and after the show, I think he really enjoyed. It was like his 100th comeback. RIP Paul and condolences to his family and friends. ... See MoreSee Less

KEEP IT TRUE Festival

1 week ago

Hello Friends,one week ago, we already said goodbye to the Posthalle Würzburg and the KIT RISING Series. And then came your messages, endless messages. Almost every one said the same: „Please do another Rising as long as its possible.“ We heard your call and we took two days for us to think about it. The outcome was: Let’s do a final KIT RISING in the Posthalle, this time for real. The cause for no fifth Rising was, that I did not want to compete with the KEEP IT TRUE Festival April edition anymore even though it would have been possible. But it was all of YOU, who changed my mind about it. So #5 is dedicated to all you crazy fans. Since I was not prepared for it, I have to build up a billing from scratch, I work on it since last Thursday and am already on a good way. There will be two days again, plus a Warm Up with bands starting at 6pm. Oct 3rd is national holiday in Germany so ist a perfect fit. We will also reduce the ticket price by 10 Euro to 119 Euro and we will talk to the Posthalle about a bit lower drinking prices as these were your only complaints last time. As first two bands we can announce the mighty high spirits from Chicago, who will bring an amazing positive energy to the Posthalle and newcomers POWER SURGE, who will release an amazing album in 2025, all Fans of US Metal and bands like Armored Saint will be very happy. Tickets for Keep It True Rising V - The Final Chapter are NOW on sale, you can get them at:www.keep-it-true.de/ticketsorwww.reservix.deThank you all for your outstanding support, without you, we are nothingOli and the KIT Crew ...
