This year’s Nova Rock Festival in Nickelsdorf, Burgenland, kicked off with a mix of sun and clouds on Thursday. Everything and everyone was “very relaxed,” according to the event team and emergency services. They expect 200,000 visitors in four days.
Burgenland state police said the journey went smoothly and without traffic jams on Wednesday evening and Thursday morning. In addition, the ground is dry, which allows you to drive to the parking lots without complications. To distribute the crowds, the route will be taken to the Mönchhof and Nickelsdorf motorway exits, according to the ÖAMTC.
First sprains and cuts
The arrival days and the night on Thursday were also quiet from a medical point of view. “So far we have had to deal with problems such as sprains, ankle injuries, bee stings, cuts and abrasions,” says operations manager Hans-Peter Polzer. A total of 500 Red Cross employees are present.
Rock tones
“Everything and everyone was very relaxed,” was the positive conclusion. The festival started on Thursday with the English band Hot Milk, and actor Keanu Reeves was also expected with his band Dogstar. Also appearing on the first day are Kerry King, guitarist and songwriter of Slayer, the American rock band Green Day and their British colleagues Sisters of Mercy.
The Viennese punk-shock rockers Bloodsucking Zombies from Outer Space come from Austria. 200,000 festival guests are expected on Sunday. There are also attractions such as a Ferris wheel and a chain carousel.
