In 2010 there will be a few innovations at SUMMER BREEZE Open Air. For the first time ever, no less than 100 bands will kick your arses on 4 different stages. Besides the two big open air stages and the Party Tent, there will also be the Camel Stage (close to the Party Tent), where the local brass band BLASMUSIK ILLENSCHWANG (as the 101st band, so to speak) and seven more bands will rock you from Wednesday til Saturday. The kick-off will be on Wednesday, August 18th at 14:00 with BLASMUSIK ILLENSCHWANG, who already opened the festival last year – although that time it was on a tractor trailer – in a resounding manner. From then on, seven selected bands will play three 20-minute sets each during the changeover breaks on the Party Tent stage. The bands and their corresponding festival dates are as follows:
Wednesday: BLASMUSIK ILLENSCHWANG + THE SMACK BALLZ
Thursday: TIEFLADER + GRAILKNIGHTS
Friday: THE MEAN + DAS PACK
Saturday: THE VERY END + BRESCHDLENG
