A real success story: Since , the Knock Out Festival has been providing a special kind of musical pre-Christmas program. Every year in December, metalheads make the pilgrimage to the largest indoor festival in southern Germany in Karlsruhe to get into the mood for the festive season with loud music, headbanging and air guitar solos.
Once again this year, the historic Schwarzwaldhalle was transformed into a festival for heavy metal fans. Together with the organizer Bottom Row, we have already experienced legendary concerts with real greats of the metal scene. The event is well known to metal fans far beyond the borders of Germany, and we now sell many tickets even before we have announced the first band.
This confirms that we are on the right track, but for us it is both a compliment and an incentive. After five events in the Europahalle, the day festival returned to the Schwarzwaldhalle in , where it also premiered in The Schwarzwaldhalle, with its self-supporting suspended roof made of prestressed concrete in the inner-city congress center, which has also hosted the Bambi awards, pompous ball nights or career fairs, is the ideal stage for festivals like Knock Out.
With its column-free oval, it exudes the special charm of a cultural monument and at the same time ensures excellent sound quality thanks to its special acoustic ceiling. The Advent weekends are just around the corner - and with them a wealth of cultural highlights that will make the pre-Christmas period unforgettable. Over the four Advent weekends, the Karlsruhe Congress Center will be transformed into a stage for an impressive variety of events: from humorous comedy programs and atmospheric classical concerts to an energetic metal festival, there is something for every taste.
Due to the high occupancy rate in the event halls, Messe Karlsruhe recommends that visitors travel by public transport to relieve the parking situation at the Congress Center. Medical and therapeutic events have a long tradition at the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Center.
