Fri 23 Jun – Hurricane Festival 2006

The following text is my report of this year's Hurricane Festival. The festival takes place in Scheeßel, a small town in Germany between Hamburg and Bremen (closer to Bremen).

This was my third festival after 2002 and 2004. I had been there 2002 mainly because of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, I enjoyed No Doubt a lot as well.
I discovered great bands in 2004: Billy Talent, Franz Ferdinand and The Pixies. Gentleman and the Far East Band, Placebo and David Bowie were also great. A pity I didn't know and see bands like The Hives and Mando Diao at that time.
2003 and 2005, I wasn't very interested in the bands or simply didn't have enough money, I can't remember. ;)
So now, in 2006, where I am much deeper into music and where I know many more artists than in the past I had big hopes for the festival.

See here for all the bands that were at the festival.
