SATURDAY MADNESS

Of course the Saturday is the main day – here finally all stages are fully in operation and with this the beloved Red Stage. Yes, the official design has already been leaked on the socials – but we wont post it here. We hope that some of you still haven’t seen it.

Already announced on the socials – The Power Hours Musical. Maybe we witnessed the maybe funniest Power Hour movie ever. A symphonie of madness through all musical styles. Deep Pack and Villain published the movie on April 9th. on all socials and it was a hell of a ride.

For this year the Power Hour will finally take place again in reality – and we are sure that this time will be even more epic than ever. And of curse, as the Saturday is the main day – the Lineup of the Saturday is putting all other days into a shaddow cause its really huge and long.

And yes, so many Artists and so many stages – there will definetely be conflicts of Artists we want to see – so its wise to create a private timetable. Only by doing this, you can be sure that you wont miss your favourite DJs. Another strategy could be – just to follow the wave and see where it leads you to.

SUNDAY CLOSING
