Will there be any “Echoes Extras” festival merch, like last time?

Yes, there will some very nice Official Festival Merch for the sequel, but the way in which you purchase these are a little different.

You will soon be able to visit our Bandcamp page to order the following, all featuring illustrations by Joan Llopis Doménech: 

• A limited festival t-shirt
• An exclusive cassette, featuring rare and unreleased material from many of the artists playing the festival
• A deck of custom Echoes from the Dungeon Fest II playing cards (with Regicide rule sheet)

The ONLY way to collect these extras is at the festival. Just show the email you get from Bandcamp after the purchase.   

Each person who purchases any of the Echoes Extras above will also get:

• 1 limited festival poster
• 1 raffle ticket for the chance to win one of two Medieval EP-1320’s, the world’s first medieval electronic instrument, from our sponsor Teenage Engineering. We will announce the winner at some point during the Saturday concerts. 

Can I buy a ticket at the door?

No, for this event tickets must be purchased on the EKKO website only. 

I’ve bought my ticket somewhere else, can you check if my ticket is genuine?

No, we can’t do this. Buying a ticket from any source is at your own risk! 

Be aware of social media accounts selling tickets. Last time there were over a dozen Facebook accounts selling fake tickets, so please only buy tickets from the EKKO website.

What is the minimum age for visiting the fest?

There is no minimum age, but visitors below 14 years of age need to be accompanied by an adult. (We do not believe this event is suitable for children under 8 years old).

Are there seats in the concert room?

No, however if you have difficulty walking and cannot stand for long periods, we can arrange a chair or bar stool for you.

Is the festival accessible if I have a disability?

The venue building has some shortcomings, making it unfortunately not fully wheelchair-accessible. Do you need a wheelchair? Can’t stand for the entire concert? Then send an email to jessaandewiel@ekko.nl and he’ll make sure your visit to EKKO goes smoothly.
