Culthists, It’s shout out time! For many reasons and in many ways.
One wants to scream at the end of this year, facing rising authoritarianism, their (!) wars, and so many blatant human injustices. In a world at the edge. On a planet that is overheating. Do not hesitate, help yourselves – and shout out loudly!
A world in crises also affects our scene(s). The cultural sector is under increasing pressure, with vast effects on subcultures, underground music, and arts we all treasure so much. This is just one of several factors, making it all-the-more necessary to make conscious and careful choices about whom and what one supports.
CULTHE is concerts, culture, and community – dark arts and heavy music -– crossing borders and broadening horizons. And we are absolutely thrilled how much you supported us doing so this year, and for 13 years now!
So SHOUT OUT to each and everyone of you for coming to Culthe concerts, to CULTHE FEST, for buying tickets and merch, for your donations, and for all your kind words and feedback! This is what Culthe thrives on: your feral energies, presence, and passion. For this, we are forever grateful.
A big SHOUT OUT and many thanks to all the bands and artists at Culthe in 2025 (in comment) for powerful performances, exhibiting your work, and creating holistic feasts for the senses!
And a loud, loud SHOUT OUT to all the helping hands and partners in crime behind the stages, on the streets, and behind the screens for making these gatherings and celebrations possible and as enjoyable as they are. You people rule!
There are many reasons to shout out loud at the end of 2025 – and there will be more to come in 2026. On the positive side: let’s shout together at the upcoming concerts and at CULTHE FEST 2026. But above all, let’s continue to do one thing: let’s care. For each other.
Hearts loud, spirits dark – we wish you all the best for 2026,
Yours
Culthe Collectiv
