The wheather in April is rather of a scottish kind. But summer keeps moving on with growing strength. According to the calendar spring has come already so winter is finnished more or less. That the wheather will become even better and remain like that until September can be taken as granted.
After this wheather introduction let's come to the point. Planing the 2009 issue of SUMMER BREEZE keeps us quite busy these days.
Ticket sales keep going in top gear and more than half of the tickets have been sold already. So are the 10.000 tickets which were supposed to come with a free DVD. As many of you have been disappointed not to have received the DVD though the ticket number was below 10.000 please note: Ticket numbers do not indicate how many tickets have been sold. But the DVD was not the only reason to order a ticket way in time obviously. The demand is still high and has not changed. To avoid being without a ticket in the end make sure you will order yours in good time.
Still we are trying to realize most of your ideas and suggestions for the better. One of our main problems was the traffic situation.
To avoid such things this year we have decided to work with a totally new system for the sluices. Therefore we do need way more space than in the past. That is why we decided to do our get in check on the so far day parking just across the street from the camping site. The big advantage will be we can act there totally independent from the wheather as the muddy ground actually was the reason for the problems in the past. Also filling the camping ground will happen a different way. The new ground is big enough to avaoid traffic jams like we had it last year. More details shortly.
2009 we will offer lockers for your service for the first time. Those will be located at the entrance area to the concert ground.
There you can lock your things for the entire time bands will be playing the stages. These lockers are looked after until 4 in the morning. In case you coming later than that or you forget about your things this is not a problem as you can get your stuff easily the day after. Detailed info and prices soon to come.
There is also renewals on the concert ground. Considering your ideas and demands we have enlarged the stages. According to this we will install a 40 m2 sized video screen right between the stages.
This allows a perfect sight even when the headliners play. Last but not least we will also have a bigger and stronger PA will be added rounding an also increased more stage light. This all hits your demands and should solve the sound problem once and forever.
To shorten the time until August we would like to mention the WAS SOLL DEATH Festival in Abtsgmuend. On the 2nd of May HEAVEN SHALL BURN, EISREGEN and HACKNEYED will kick serious butt on the city's fairground, the old SUMMER BREEZE area. Info to any band playing to be found at www.myspace.com/wassolldeath.
That is it for the time being. As always, we will inform you the minute we have any news.
Don't stay in the sun for too long. You know...
