As you have probably seen on our blog and social media channels we have an active team based in Germany covering bands, gigs and festivals from the European mainland. One of our upcoming festivals has been amongst our favourites for a number of years now - if you're looking for a festival in Central Europe look no further!
Germany's Southside Festival transforms Neuhausen Ob Eck's former military air-base into a frenzy of 60.000 festival-goers from all over Europe. This year's event will see bands such as Bloc Party, Tame Impala, The Cure, Foo Fighters, Interpol, The Wombats, Johnny Marr and many more perform alongside some of our German favourites such as Leoniden and Die Höchste Eisenbahn.
It is undoubtedly our favourite major festival in Germany! You can check our review from last year here: Southside REVIEW
And although we won't have a World Cup to enjoy at this summer's edition we are nonetheless looking forward to having a great time this summer together with a growing crowd of English Southisde-goers.
