Started twelve years ago Simon Ertl the “Woodstock of brass music” on the Baumkronenweg in Kopfing with a total of 8000 visitors. The 40-year-old has remained true to the Innviertel, the dimensions have definitely changed. From June 30th to July 3rd, 123 bands will be performing at the Arco Arena festival site in Ort/Innkreis, including local and international greats such as Moop Mama, LaBrassBanda, folkshilfe, Russkaja and many others. There are still enough tickets.
“The last twelve years have passed quickly. And we are glad that we can finally celebrate our 10th anniversary this year. Once we had to sit out because of Corona and once because of a stroke of fate in the team. But this year we will celebrate,” promises Ertl.
