On Thursday, admission to the core area was pushed back to 2:00 p.m. The performances of the bands Blues Pills and Cemetery Sun therefore had to be cancelled. Further updates will be communicated via social media.
The journey to the festival, which is taking place again this year for the first time in two years, should be pushed back as much as possible. “The parking spaces are difficult to drive on, especially for caravans, so we ask you to plan your arrival for the early afternoon,” said the Nova Rock Facebook page. In addition, visitors were asked to bring rubber boots or sturdy shoes and rain protection.
“Everything is wet and soggy”
In Nickelsdorf it poured Thursday morning. “Everything is wet and muddy,” said a police spokesman. The organizers would have done everything on Wednesday and distributed gravel and wood chips on the site. The traffic situation was under control, there were no traffic jams, and only a few visitors arrived on Thursday night. Maybe some people thought about it and postponed their arrival to a later date, he said.
Nova Rock is experiencing a surge in visitors after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. A total of 225,000 guests are expected every four days, who can look forward to acts such as Muse, Placebo, Seiler & Speer, Volbeat and Deichkind. The event is sold out.
