Keep It True announces news festival Keep It True Legions

This year marked the final Keep It True Rising at the Posthalle in Würzburg, a place many glorious memories were made for many metal fans. Apparently the venue is due to be knocked down which is such a shame as it seems to be a great place for events. Nevertheless Keep It True returns in style with a new event called Keep It True Legions. You can read the full statement below released by the festival:

KEEP IT TRUE LEGIONS – AUGUST 8th & 9th, 2026

EVENTHALLE GEISELWIND – A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS!

All friends and fans of KEEP IT TRUE – the LEGIONS are rising again!

After more than two decades of keeping the flame alive, we are proud to open a new chapter in the history of the Keep It True family:

KEEP IT TRUE LEGIONS, taking place on August 8th and 9th, 2026, in the mighty Eventhalle Geiselwind!

This legendary venue offers perfect conditions for our traditional Heavy Metal celebration –

a massive hall with almost 4000 capacity, top sound, excellent stage visibility, easy access directly at the Autobahn A3, and plenty of parking, hotels, retaurants and camping options right around the corner. Our annual April edition will stay in Lauda-Königshofen of course.

We are so happy, that with SAVATAGE we could finally book one of the biggest and most important bands of our genre. Its such a huge achievement in the history of Keep It True, even more as all the other bands already booked are as legendary. Please support us on this new adventure, we always try to deliver the best possible quality for all you loyal fans.

Since the Savatage day is a Sunday, the show will end on 11pm already that day so people can either decide to take off the Monday instead of the Friday or just drive home after the headliner.

Join us for this epic weekend of legends and rising warriors,

where past, present, and future of heavy metal unite under one banner —

KEEP IT TRUE LEGIONS 2026!

Weekend and Daily Tickets available right now at www.keep-it-true.de/tickets

CAMPING

Camping will be possible from Friday to Monday directly next to the venue!

For those who can't make it, rejoice :

"Dear KEEP IT TRUE Festival Fans from all over the world,
since we are not far from being sold out on the weekend, we decided to try to stream most of the shows on all 3 days. This is also our farewell from the Posthalle in Würzburg, so we want you to join also virtually if you cannot be here with us. As always the stream is completely for free to spread the word of true Underground Metal all over the planet. Of course donations are welcome.
Please visit our Official YouTube Page https://www.youtube.com/@KeepItTrueFestivalOfficial for the Streams. Our amazing and hard working filmcrew will try everything to bring you the KIT spirit right into your living room."

The Lord Weird Slough Feg shredded as always. New opening set. Headhunters into Sky Chariots. Stoked.

Mike Scalzi was actively fighting food poisoning on stage and kept disappearing to 💀. Rest of the band held the line.
Shorter set due to periodically losing their lead. Mike Scalzi was a trooper and fought through it. #HeavyMetal #SloughFeg #KeepItTrue

Always a good show when the singer starts wielding a bat'leth. #Skelator #HeavyMetal #KeepItTrue

Portland! My favorite band, The Lord Weird Slough Feg, is playing at High Water Mark tonight! Doors at 8:30. See you there! #HeavyMetal #KeepItTrue
