Southside Festival
20th of June 2008 - 22nd of June 2008
Southside 2007 was a festival of very contrasting emotions. A storm on Thursday demolished the tent stage and hurled four-meter poles weighing 10 kilograms through the air. One smashed through the roof of a paramedics van parked 50 meters away, killing one of the occupants and seriously injuring the other.
It was considered to call off the festival after the tragedy but police, local authorities and even the paramedics team all said the festival should go ahead. Both of the main stages also suffered minor damage but they were fixed in time for the festival to begin. We had to cancel all the acts on the tent stage including Five O´Clock Heroes, Bromheads Jacket, The Blood Brothers, Mute Math and many more.
The program for the two main stages went ahead as planned and there were some very exciting performances. There was a great musical variety from headliner like grunge-heroes Pearl Jam or NYC hiphop legends Beastie Boys, to newcomer like State Radio with their mix of punk, rock and reggae. Every band had the audience they deserved and even the less acclaimed bands already pulled crowds of interested musicfans.
Neuhausen ob Eck is situated between Munich, Stuttgart and Freiburg, pretty close to the Bodensee.
