Thank you for your incredible loyalty, and the faith you put in us!

"You are the best fans in the whole word! This is why we already can't wait to celebrate a one of a kind metal party with you next year. Look forward to many more awesome bands and a festival for which we put our international focus on South and Central America and take you along for a metal journey into the realms of the Mayans and Aztecs!

"Fittingly, our first evaluations indicate that we will welcome guests from 83 different nations on the Holy Ground."
