Specially for you AlterNation Music Magazine has created a virtual trip around Bolkow during the festival so that you are able to return to our festival at any time all the year round at least for a while. Have a look here.

Big thanks to all those who have attended this year's festival edition. It started unhappily but you proved that despite the bad weather, you cannot refrain yourselves from having fun. Unfortunately, on Friday we bit the dust struggling with the wind which was trying to sweep the stage construction away, outside the walls, but we'll do everything we can to let the stars, who were meant to perform on Friday, appear at the festival next year. We're looking forward to seeing you again!
