There is an unspoken truth at Gampel Open Air: bands often have a hard time here. The competition from the numerous marquees is too great.
But if you show as much energy as the metal band Fever 333, you won’t let that stop you. Although initially only a few spectators found their way to the main stage, the US rockers immediately took the stage apart – and not just in a figurative sense.
What felt like three microphones, two stands and the entire drum platform fell victim to the trio around singer Jason Butler.
Finally, Butler climbed onto the scaffolding of the nearby Bock Bar and jumped into the audience from a height of three meters. Luckily, his fans were there to catch the metal singer.
Topping this performance with energy will be difficult for the remaining bands. And the Metalheads proved one more thing: There is no such show in a marquee.
