15.000 spectators celebrated the 2.Area 4 festival in Lüdinghausen a complete weekend at 28° and sparkling sunlight. The otherwise so calm and pastoral area of Borkenberge Airfield turned into a big party camp for three days. Firmly established rock bands like DIE ÄRZTE, THE HIVES, APOCALYPTICA, BAD RELIGION and MILLENCOLIN performed on two stages; and on the tent stage not only various newcomers, but also successful acts like THE FUTUREHEADS and BIFFY CLYRO were celebrated.
A big thanks goes out to our attendees who not only knew how to party, but also how to do it in a peaceful way. The local crew, the police and the German Red Cross were impressed and praised the good behaviour of the rock fans. Who couldn’t be there or wants to reminisce of the best moments has the chance to watch the Area 4 on TV: WDR. The first WDR Rockpalast from the Area 4 airs in the Night from Sunday to Monday, 21st September 2008 from 0:45 – 4:45. More dates can be found on http://www.rockpalast.de/. Pictures of the festival and links to report can be found soon on http://www.area4.de/.
…and last but not least: The date for 2009 is already set. The Area 4 2009 takes place from 21st to 23rd August 2009, again at Borknberge Airfield, Lüdinghausen.
