2 days until your ascension takes place. Tickets still available (see yesterdays post). Tomorrow is the last full day of presale. An FAQ going up on our website later this evening answering all standard questions. Everything is falling into place. Bands already arriving. Pre-festival stress replaced by sheer excitement! Adrenaline up to 11. This is happening!

For todays final announcement, please welcome Iceland's Une Misère to the Ascension MMXXIII line-up! Final additions to the festival will be announced next week, which will be directly followed by the announcement of the day schedules. All E-Tickets have now been sent out but we are still lacking some contact information from a few would-be attendees. So, if you have not received your E-Ticket by now, please send an email to [email protected]. A reminder to those selling their passes - please refrain from posting on this here. When the event is sold out, we'll create a dedicated thread for ticket selling. Also, a word of caution to those attempting to purchase from those looking to pass on their tickets - many of the posts on here are actually from fake accounts, so caveat emptor! 32 days to go... #ascensionfestivaliceland #unemisere #unemisère #ascensionmmxxiii #studioemissary #orationrecords

Behold the final poster for Ascension MMXXIII! Watch out for more artist announcements coming at the end of the week! E-tickets are currently being sent out. For those still waiting, fret not, if your ticket has previously been confirmed, it is still valid and you will receive your e-ticket this week. Those who have recently purchased a ticket, you shall receive confirmation in the coming days. Refunds for bus passes are being processed, but again we would ask those waiting for their patience. There are many passes to process and this simply takes time, which is rather scarce in the final run up to the festival! Lastly, a reminder to those who have yet to purchase a ticket - with the change of venue and it's reduced capacity, we are limited in the number of tickets we can sell. Plainly put, the event will very likely sell out, so wait at your own risk! 37 days to go... For the same reason, day passes will not be sold in presale. Day passes will only be sold if the event does not sell out. In that case, they'll be sold at the door. Those who hold a day pass from the previously postponed 2022 event, these tickets are of course still valid. Artwork by Dehn Sora. Layout by Heresie Studio.

To the Oration faithful, We're still here, though it's been a quiet year. We're gearing up for some marvellous new releases in 2023, so to speed that along, we're selling old stock to buy 'new' stock! In other words, there are sales and offers going on store-wide on our Bandcamp page. 30% off all items, with some items already heavily discounted, including Ascension Festival and Oration Festival merch. We've also unearthed a handful of sold out items and made them available again, but in very low numbers (the Rebirth of Nefast album for example!). All orders over €50 get an Ascension Festival tote thrown in to satisfy all your carrying needs! From now until Wednesday the 15th, 11:59 PM UTC, claim a 30% discount on all items by entering the code 'oration30' upon checkout on our Bandcamp page!

It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that Ascension will be postponed until May 2023. We are faced with an insurmountable number of logistical challenges that have forced us to make this difficult, but ultimately unavoidable decision. The reschedule dates are May 18th - 21st 2023. The vast majority of our current line-up are still onboard, so expect little changes there. We are also striving to keep the previously announced day schedules in place as much as possible (keeping in mind the new dates are now for Thursday to Sunday, not Wednesday to Saturday). We respectfully ask current ticket holders to hold onto their passes if at all possible. Tickets for the rescheduled dates will not be available for purchase until May 9th, when the first round of early bird passes go on sale. Those who choose to hold on to their tickets will be refunded the monetary difference of the early bird pass and what they've already paid. Anyone unable to attend the new dates seeking a refund should contact us within the next 14 days. We are very sorry for the inconvenience this may cause our attendees, but we ask you to trust that this is the right decision. Proceeding with the circumstances as they stand would not allow the Ascension you deserve, nor would it lay a path for future editions. We always set the bar high, and are striving to make our rescheduled event everything you expect and deserve from our festivals! All enquiries should be sent to [email protected]
