The Overkill Festival brings a curated mix of local and international artists working with playful media. With your day ticket you can join workshops and play sessions, attend live performances, talks, screenings and visit our exhibition. With your festival pass you have access to all of these, every day of the festival (the sleepover is the only item not included in the pass).

Sickhouse is dedicated to support diverse makers, artists and researchers in their practices whether they are professional, niche, home-brewed, freshly started or pioneering. The contributions made by visitors helps the festival in paying artists, crew and suppliers, while respecting fair practices.

The Overkill 2026 is supported by the Gemeente Enschede and Stimulering Fonds creative industry up to 80 %, the remaining 20% must come from tickets and donations. We thank you for your support and look forward to welcoming you all!

The team behind The Overkill is committed to keep it affordable and accessible for a wide range of visitors. The festival is free for people under 18 years old (proof of identity must be shown at the entrance). If the prices we practice are not accessible to you, please don’t hesitate to mail us or come by Sickhouse, we are happy to help you join the festival!
