As in the past, next year’s festival will take place at the adjoining Neumos and Barboza venues in the vibrant Capitol Hill neighborhood of downtown Seattle.
The first round of full festival passes (in very limited numbers) was made available today at early-bird prices to subscribers to the Northwest Terror Fest e-mail newsletter (and they’re already sold out). Additional full-festival passes will be made available in the future here, along with info about the balance of the festival lineup, individual day lineups, and daily tickets. The best way to keep abreast of those developments is to sign up for the festival newsletter and to follow NWTF on-line:
