Around 200,000 fans celebrate the rock party of the year for four days in sometimes precarious weather conditions. Nova Rock organizer Ewald Tatar takes stock in the "Krone" talk, addresses points of criticism and gives an outlook for 2024.

Slush, rain, clouds - as in the previous year, Nova Rock also showed a more rustic side in 2023. Massive downpours flooded the festival and camping area at the beginning, and tractors were once again busy pulling out the cars. Organizer Ewald Tatar invested around 300,000 euros in advance to improve the infrastructure at the Pannonia Fields in Nickelsdorf and was also lucky in misfortune.
