Talk about the classic Dionysian passion. Post the genres, eras, albums and bands that whammy your bar. Try not to post gloryhole era threads.

No Wâldrock festival in 2010



The organisation of the Waldrock festival sadly had to decide that this annual event in Burgum (Friesland) won´t go through in 2010.



The rising cost of artists, facilities, security, loss of financial support and a couple of editions with less visitors has led to this choice. Also the strength in competition of the festival has come under strain because of the three-day metal festivals in germany and belgium and the large offering in stadiums and podiums. In the next months the organisation wil decide if a restart in 2011 is possible.



Los van de vraag ...blahblah..............................22 years...blah......... 5.000 en 12.000 muziekliefhebbers yearly......blah........ Iron Maiden, Rammstein, Slayer, Heaven & Hell en Motörhead.

They should do it in the winter and turn it into a grim, frostbitten festival. :grim:

The summer season is just so packed in Europe, and Waldrock is one of the smaller draws. Absent a competitive advantage, is there really another option?
