Santa's
Mayhem Fest

On 7 December 2024 WERK°STADT Witten hosted the Mayhem Fest for the first time. Under the name Santa’s Mayhem Fest we put on a night that was meant to be a one-off: five bands from the region, one hall and santa hats in the pit.

From the first chord to the last encore it was loud, packed and warm. Between sets people talked shop at the merch stand, the crowd sang along and nobody held back in front of the stage. By the end of the night it was clear this would not be the only one.

That night turned into the New Years Mayhem Fest: same hall, same ambition, this time to kick off the new year.
