In the last two weeks we received a lot of inquiries via eMail, phone or social media regarding the upcoming Rituals Over Limburg III festival. Please understand that we had to overview the whole situation first and sort, even get clear consciousness for what was going on in the night of 26th to 27th december 2024. After several phone calls and communication with the Oefenbunker, now we are ready to give a clear statement/information. For all of you, who did not hear already about the horrible happening of that night, here we go...
The Oefenbunker is/was for more than 41 years a location for culture and live-music. In the night of 26th to 27th there was a big fire at the location that brought a 4 decade history to grave. The location, as it was, don't exist anymore as the damage from fire was too heavy. Currently investigations are going on what caused the fire and how this could happen. At the moment the Oefenbunker is collecting donations and the search for a new location is going on. It's not necessary to explain feelings in words, because it can't be described, neither details, but if you want to support the venue, follow up the link:
https://www.oefenbunker.com/donaties/the website is in dutch language, but we give you a quick translation for the support here:
"Last week, a devastating fire struck De Oefenbunker in Landgraaf, a vital space for emerging music talent. This venue has given countless artists a stage—now it's time to give back.
Help rebuild this community hub and support the bands affected by donating to NL62RABO0146017986 t.a.v. Stichting Oefenbunker Live."
At this point we are pleased to inform you, that together with the Oefenbunker manager and team we could find a solution and alternative location for the upcoming Rituals Over Limburg III fest. The new location will be at Nieuwe Nor, which is located in the city of Heerlen (NL), which is also very close. The sound/light technicians and support will be also from Oefenbunker Staff. So, to all who already booked a hotel, its very close. We updated already all informations, so you can get a closer look here. It's impossible to put the feeling for what got lost into words, but its also important to look always forward! So, the new Oefenbunker will be glorious. We won't let our friends from Oefenbunker let down and will accompany them until the new Oefenbunker is ready. Again, we thank the Oefenbunker management and Nieuwe Nor for making this festival happen this year.
