After the Corona-related cancellation of the Nova Rock Festival in 2020 and 2021, it should be warm again in Burgenland this year.

People struggle with the consequences of aRain of the century,” the organizers announced on Thursday morning. “WWe do our best and work for you everywhere,” according to an update post on Instagram. However, the parking spaces are still “difficult to access”. Especially caravan travelers are therefore requested to plan their arrival only in the afternoon.
Warning via social media
It is hoped that the weather will improve by midday or the parking and camping areas, some of which are heavily muddy, will dry up. Again, an urgent warning was sent about this via social media: “Don’t forget your rubber boots, sturdy shoes and rain protection!”
