Honestly, dear regulars, repeat guests and beach-freshpeople: we can hardly wait! Finally seeing you again, feeling the wind in your hair and letting the musical surf rush around our ears is almost cathartic for the entire festival team. You know: we take care of the ambience and the density of the musical atmosphere, the Weissenhäuser Strand takes care of the living comfort and you take care of the contemplative get-together - that's a successful arrangement, right?

That's why today we're happy to present more puzzle pieces for the black fairy tale that will refine our November. As the last act that finalizes the line up, we present to you today EMPATHY TEST, the synth-pop starters from London. We are delighted!

But a supporting program of grandeur is also on the horizon, because with CHRISTIAN VON ASTER and KLAUS MÄRKERT the fantastic and prosaic are once again magnificently represented. More about this under SIDE EVENTS.
