The BossHoss, Dick Brave & The Backbeats & Support: Kitty, Daisy & Lewis
Last weekend, growling guitars were dominating my days and nights. This Friday was much more nostalgic, not meaning that there was less power on stage than last weekend at Area4 Festival. The first act was already scheduled for 18:00. Besides opener KITTY, DAISY & LEWIS from London, the program offered BICK BRAVE and his BACKBEATS, just re-appeared from the Canadian woods, and the Spree-Cowboys of THE BOSSHOSS. About 8,500 fans showed up to be part in this event.

Area4 Festival Day 1: Social Distortion, Neaera, Heaven Shall Burn, Sondaschule, Donots, Saves the Day, Boysetsfire, Darkest Hour, The Joy Formidable, Polar Bear Club, Touché Amoré, Pulled Apart by Horses, Montreal, We are the Ocean
When the sun was burning down and loud guitars were sounding over the plains of the Münsterland, the guitar-affine festival crowd of around 16,000 fans has gathered on the tranquil airfield Borkenberge to celebrate in the “biggest living room of North-Rhine-Westphalia”. As rainy the summer was before, usually the Area4 Festival in Lüdinghausen hast best weather and the sun is shining. Since 2007 it just looks like the weather god likes it hot and sweaty. And so, the biggest living rooms turned somehow into the loudest baking oven with temperatures close to 40 degrees Celsius. So, not only beer flowed freely, also sweat did.
