Rynek festiwali wszelakich: dużych, małych, rockowych, alternatywnych należy jednak do Niemców i Belgów. Cieszyć się jednak należy, że pojawiamy się w gronie tych krajów, które coś znaczą na festiwalowej mapie starego kontynentu. Dobrze, że jesteśmy w tej samej grupie pościgowej co Węgrzy ze swoim Sziget Festival czy Czesi z Rock for People i że w tej grupie nie mamy tylko jednego reprezentanta.
