The followers had been picked up by New York hardcore legend Biohazard within the early followingnoon. The competition grounds had been in good condition once more following the rain in the course of the night time.
On the day with the best variety of guests, Saturday, it began pouring down simply as Måneskin and Alice Cooper had been regarding to start out. “4 climate companies predicted between one and 6 litres of rain – following which we acquired 25 litres,” stated director Tatar, irritated. “Which is following all a very completely different dimension and slowed down the departure of the day guests.

The elevated use of squeezeboxes and people music in this system was noticeable. “This 12 months it simply so occurred that Folkshilfe and Fäaschtbänkler performed one following the opposite,” says Tatar. “As we noticed, there’s an viewers for it. Issues like that can proceed to occur once in a while, however that does not imply that we’re reserving a day of brass music. Don’t be concerned.”
Is there a ‘VIP rest room’?
Stories of pricy bogs and costs have been doing the rounds. “Sure, there’s a ‘VIP rest room’ that’s always being cleaned. Sure, you pay for that,” stated Tatar. “However there are many different bogs. And we’re contemplating whether or not we should always get rid of these VIP bogs altogether subsequent 12 months as a result of they’re hardly used anymore. As a result of the standard of the brand new bogs that we put in this 12 months is high notch. As for the value explosion, all I can say is: welcome to actuality. We’re presently experiencing this not solely at festivals. Nova Rock shouldn’t be the one competition with elevated costs. However our beer costs are cheaper than at one other live performance that happened lately, for instance. The infrastructure prices some huge cash, and that needs to be taken into consideration.”

The Pink Stage was not used on Sunday. As an alternative, Biohazard acquired up shut and private with the followers: The band, based within the late Eighties across the two figureheads Billy Graziadei (guitar, vocals) and Evan Seinfeld (bass, vocals), is aware of the way to begin a correct circle pit, so the most effective factor to do is simply take part. However that wasn’t sufficient, Graziadei additionally had a fan carry him on his shoulders throughout “Fallacious Facet of the Tracks” whereas he continued to play his instrument. It is no surprise that, along with loads of moshing, many guests’ ardour for selfies was additionally glad. And the set listing? It additionally left nothing to be desired, with the quartet blasting by means of “Tales from the Exhausting Facet” and “Punishment” impressively. After an intense hour, that resulted in lots of pleased and sweaty faces – each on and in entrance of the stage.
