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?
