Das #Mammut #Festival in #Königsbrunn war wieder fantastisch! Das beste #JUZ-Festival, das ich kenne: Liebevoll organisiert von einem generationenübergreifenden Team aus über 100 ehrenamtlichen Helfern. Man fühlt sich ab der ersten Minute herzlich willkommen und wird bestens versorgt.

Wie immer ein guter Genre-Mix, wobei mir diesmal tatsächlich die drei Bands der Corpse Paint Fraktion, #INANIS, #Jesajah und #Agathodaimon, am besten gefallen haben.

#MetalheadConcerts #live #supporttheunderground #Jugendzentrum

Ich finde es spannend, wenn ich in modernen BM-Formen altes Zeug raushöre. Viel hat sich nicht verändert - und doch. #Vihilija sind der Wahnsinn. Und #Agathodaimon selbstverständlich auch.
