1. Melt! Festival 2008 on 18 Jul 2008
Location: Ferropolisstraße 01, 06773 Gräfenhainichen, Germany Spätestens, wenn morgens, nach durchtanzter Nacht unter freiem Himmel, die Sonne aufgeht und hinter bunt strahlenden Stahlgiganten den See in wunderbares Licht taucht, wenn das moderne Indieherz endgültig mit dem hysterisch begeisterten Beat des Jetzt verschmilzt und alle Arme hoch in die Luft fliegen, dann ist es wieder da: dieses Melt!-Gefühl, die Energie eines der außergewöhnlichsten und avantgardistischsten Open Air Festivals Deutschlands. Alle verständlichen Musiksprachen werden gepusht und dem anspruchsvollen und vielseitigem Publikum vor atemberaubender Kulisse präsentiert. Bei diesem faszinierenden Zusammentreffen von Ort und Klang tanzen Rock-Nerds, Popästheten und Electro-Heads zu einer homogenen Mischung aus Dancebeats und Rock-Riffs. Song und Track sind gleichberechtigt.
