Again in Nuremberg, again three days, this time again three stages.

This time was better than last year when organization and “special acts” were awful. But not without disappointments — 40 minutes walking from the “faster exit” (exact quote) to the Limp Bizkit stage, only to find it closed right before us.

Awards (bands in order)

• 🏆 Made my festival: Trivium, Linkin Park, Bad Omens
• 😤 Disappointment of the festival: Limp Bizkit (or festival organization because I missed them), Volbeat (boooring)

• 👁️ Best Visuals: Bad Omens
