The reactions of visitors are mixed – many are disappointed. “Too bad. “It was really great last time,” writes one user in the comments. The open-air festival has brought well-known artists such as Bonez MC, Juju, Alli Neumann and Conny to NRW in the past and was a highlight for all music lovers, not just in the region.
