Tens of thousands of fans come to the Pannonia Fields: stormy times can only be expected on stage. Nova Rock boss Tatar remains relaxed about the forecasts for the coming days.
Streets, houses and cars full of mud, furniture from gardens and garages stacked on top of each other on an embankment, washed-away wood wedged into the bridge railing – the storms of the past few days left a trail of destruction in southern Burgenland. While hundreds of volunteers are busy cleaning up and soldiers are busy with safety measures, preparations for this summer’s major cultural events are in full swing.
Festival days partly cloudy, partly sunny up to 26 degrees
Nova Rock is starting now. From Thursday, more than 200,000 fans are expected at the Pannonia Fields II in Nickelsdorf. The largest festival of its kind in Austria takes place on 180 hectares. The area has so far been spared from large-scale flooding.
Fluctuating forecast
The amount of rain remained limited for the time being. “The weather forecasts vary. According to reports at the beginning of the week, the situation during the festival should not be as dramatic as in the past two years,” notes Ewald Tatar.
The festival pilgrims slowly conquer the Pannonia fields. “The first caravans arrived on Tuesday,” says Gerold Haubner from the organization office. Today, Wednesday, the fans are in full swing and tens of thousands of visitors are expected. It will be hot on the stages on Thursday.
Sun on Saturday
“Partly cloudy, the maximum temperature between 20 and 26 degrees Celsius, depending on the day,” according to a look at the meteorological forecast. It may rain a little tomorrow. After that, the situation should calm down. Bright sunshine is currently forecast for Saturday.
Usually “dry and dusty”
Ewald Tatar reacts relaxed to the weather forecast: “Although Nova Rock and rain have always belonged together for many fans, the fact is that 70 percent of all festival days so far have been dry and dusty.”
