Festival Junky

Hey guys! Have you ever been to a music festival? I’ve been on a few over the last years and they definitely make you addictive. Once you’ve been on one you want to go to the next one. Nowhere else can you experience this vibe created by thousands of visitors. People come from all over the world to enjoy good music. You will never forget the moment when you see your favourite band performing for the first time while you’re standing in a huge crowd of people with the same taste of music. There are quite a few festivals in Austria but the line ups of the festivals in America are way better if you ask me. Nevertheless, the festivals we have here are still pretty awesome too. I want to introduce you to the festivals I have been to.

Nova Rock Festival:

This annual music festival takes place in Nickelsdorf, Burgenland. I’ve been here three years in a row and it was epic each time. It exists since 2005 and as the name indicates it is a festival for rock music. International bands like Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Kiss, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Volbeat and many more have been performing on the four stages of Nova Rock. The tickets cost around 150€.

 

Here's a Video of Limp Bizkit live on Nova Rock in 2014 and the teaser video for 2015:

 

 Freqeuncy Festival:

Last year I went to this festival in St. Pölten, Lower Austria. It first took place in Vienna in 2001. Then in the years 2002 till 2008 in Salzburg and since 2009 in St. Pölten. Altogether there are seven stages and the festival area is separated into the Day Park and the Night Park. In the Day Park you can enjoy the music until half past one and then you can go to the Night Park until six in the morning. Most of the bands playing in the Day Park are Indie and Alternative bands, but there are also Grunge bands and Hip Hop bands. In the Night Park you can dance to electronic music played by DJ’s. The tickets for the Frequency Festival also cost about 150€.
