Celebrating the anniversary of the "Valley of Fire" in a captivating, enchanting setting

The Feuertal Festival is set to return this year, promising an immersive journey through time at the picturesque venue, Hardt. This medieval-themed music and cultural festival, running for two decades, has established itself as a celebration of medieval culture through music, dance, crafts, and theatrical performances.

The lineup for this year's event is nothing short of captivating. Schelmish, known for their energetic shows and diverse mix of medieval music and modern rock influences, will be gracing the stage. Koenix, who brings a touch of Swiss charm with their medieval sounds accentuated by bagpipes and flutes, invites everyone to sing and dance along.

Kupfergold, with their authentic medieval atmosphere created by traditional instruments, and Coppelius, whose unique blend of baroque sounds and punk rock, often referred to as "chambercore," are sure to enchant audiences. Versengold, masters of speedfolk and seafarer tales, and Fiddler's Green, who combine Irish sounds with rock elements to create a lively atmosphere with infectious melodies and danceable rhythms, complete the lineup.

Apart from the music, the Feuertal Festival offers a medieval market filled with shopping, discovery, crafts, art, and a lavish food court. Interactive workshops, such as historical dance lessons, weaponry demonstrations, or calligraphy, provide opportunities for attendees to engage with the festival's themes on a deeper level. Themed stages and performances create an atmosphere reminiscent of medieval times, further enhancing the immersive experience.

The event is organized by "The Bowl" (the bourse, Live Club Barmen, and Konzertagentur Grebe), ensuring a well-planned and enjoyable experience for all. The Feuertal Festival is hosted by Eric Fish, frontman of Subway To Sally, adding to the festival's authentic medieval feel.

While specific details on the Feuertal Festival’s founding or history are not readily available, such festivals typically emerged in the last couple of decades as part of a broader interest in medieval and folk traditions, often located in historic sites or castles to enhance authenticity.

For exact lineup and features, the official Feuertal Festival website or social media would provide the most current and authoritative information.
