Tommern! Stepped in on short notice, and stepped the fuck up! A bangin' set is still going on, so keep those dancing shoes on for just a bit longer!

Love that Amiga mod vibe? So do we! Teo was throwing down beats and kicking ass!

Henning og Hans spiller opp til dans! Get dancin' or die tryin'!!! 👯

Unfortunately, lug00ber has had to cancel his performance at Black Valley this Saturday. We wish him all the best and a speedy recovery. Luckily, we have a great replacement right in our midst - Tommern, half of Modulo One, that wowed the crowds with a live performance for the ages here last year!

Right now, two-thirds of Paula is playing some music for us - tune in on the stream, or get inside if you're here!

We're busy building the event, and we can't wait to welcome the hordes later! We open the hall just before 1600 hours, but you can always arrive earlier and hang out on the grass or put up your tents. Let's go!

The weather forecast tells us it's gonna get warm this weekend. 🌡️ ☀️ With this in mind, we suggest all attendees take precautions. That means - wear sunscreen. Stay in the shade, and stay hydrated. Bring a water bottle, and we'll make sure there is continuous access to water for all attendees. 🌊🌊🌊

Black Valley is getting _real_ close, and figuring out the finer points of getting to the venue is naturally top of mind. We've made a handy guide on our homepage that we hope answers most questions, linked below. Additional questions? Join our Discord server! 2025.blackvalley.party/venue#gettin...

Due to circumstances beyond their control, Paula has had to cancel their full band performance on short notice. Fortunately, Slumgud has agreed to spin some tunes in their place, and hopefully, we can try again at a later date for the full band experience! Photo by Manu on Unsplash

One of the things we pride ourselves on is our dedication to show all retro productions directly from legacy hardware. So in that spirit, we're doing a demoshow on Saturday entirely run on two adjacent console platforms. Which ones? Guess you're just gonna have to show up to find out!

Next week, we open the doors for Black Valley 2025. We'll play you beautiful tunes, show you wonderous sights, make you smile, make you excited and the one thing you need to do is get a ticket. Don't have a ticket yet? We can give you one! In exchange for money. 💸 fienta.com/black-valley...

Black Valley is made by a small group of people, all lending their time and expertise to putting together our lovely gathering. We ask that you are patient with us during the event, so we can best put our efforts into making everything awesome. And so that none of you get eaten.

Hack the planet or get eaten trying... 🧟‍♂️ Hackeriet has prepared a CTF for you guys at Black Valley! Real hacking, beginner-friendly challenges - your braaaains will be required. Whether you're new to CTFs or deep in the game, there might be one or more flags with your name on it!

faRk used to record music from Amiga games on a cassette as a kid, quickly discovered Protracker and later Fasttracker 2. He released: 💿 shorturl.at/Bm0kL & Pikselhjerte ❤️ youtu.be/QlKF4vss9Is At Black Valley, he will DJ a blend of old melodic demoscene classics, modern tunes & remixes of old games.

We were told in no uncertain terms that lug00ber was playing, as is tradition. Mildly intimidated, we could do nothing but bow our heads and comply. All hail lug00ber, breaker of beats.

We repeatedly told Henning and Hans, "det holder!" but they just won't listen. 🙉 So, by unpopular demand – expect silly kicks, stupid samples, pointless breaks, and preposterous mixing. If you are not convinced yet, listen to tiny.cc/yyon001 Henning & Hans spiller opp til dans! Photo: ernie / BV23
