Here's news from the mighty Dong hill! Good news first: There's still a very limited amount of tickets available! Of what used to be a respectable stash of Dong tickets, we now offer the left amount of tickets to you until probably the end of this week. It's the same procedure as every year: Go to www.dongopenair.de and check out our presale section!
Now it's also about time though to confront you with the bad news. For the past six years we could offer you half a liter of beer for 1,-€. With the currency change from Mark to Euro we even had a slight decline in the price in 2002. As you will probably understand, we have to keep the counter-business cost-efficient. Not only as a result of the VAT raise in Germany from 16 to 19%, the profit we actually made from serving beer has become very small. To cut a long story short: We present to you the new beer price of 1,50€ per 0.5 l bottle! At this price we still beat every bar and pub out there!
There's also news regarding our website. In our Line Up section you can find the extended running order of this year's program. Just click on a band name and find a quick introduction of the band in both words and images, of course along with a link to the band's homepage. Use this opportunity to find out all about the combos you might not be familiar with to make sure you don't miss out on anything at this year's fest!
Besides, many texts of our website were updated. One update we would like to stress in particular is the one about unwanted folks. Please keep this in mind:
The Dong Kultur e.V. explicitly dissociates the festival and the everything related to it from extreme right-winged and Nazi thought and will – by use of their domestic authority - rigorously expel anyone who attracts attention through extreme right-winged and Nazi symbols, gestures, music and articulation. This also applies to any other politically extreme, trouble causing or violent group. In the case of ignored expulsion, we will redeem this with the most severe legal consequences.

We do this on behalf of all peaceful fans and good common sense. Also, we would like to express our support for everyone in the scene who shows their colors! Be it individually or by supporting campaigns like “Metaller gegen Hass und Gewalt” (Metalheads against Hate and Violence) which we have joined, too. We are not interested in any kind of witch hunt and making this a political issue, but just sticking to a neutral statement when it comes to an official disagreement or public dissociation from people who live their lives using inhuman devices and violence to achieve their goals, is not enough for us!
Please contact personnel, security agents and authorities as soon as you notice persons or groups mentioned above. Of course this also applies to our online-forum and our guest book.
Take care,
your Dong Team
