Record attendance at the 30th Gurten Festival
This year's Gurtenfestival featured around 70 concerts on four stages. With 77,000 visitors, a record was once again set.
Highlights included a performance by Volbeat on Thursday, the Toten Hosen in front of 20,000 spectators on Friday evening and Hurts on Saturday.
The Fantastischen Vier, Emelie Sandé and Zaz closed the festival on Sunday. But newcomers such as Reptile Youth, Goose and Netsky were also on the bill. Steff La Cheffe and Müslüm each attracted 7,000 spectators to the Waldbühne.
There were teething problems at the beginning of the festival with a newly introduced cashless payment system. Whether it will continue to be used will be decided in the autumn, according to statements by the organizers in local media.
The next Gurtenfestival will take place from July 17 to 20, 2014.
