-A big festival with major headliners Pink Floyd and Deep Purple, organized by the "Cannapol Kommune" (related to Checkpoint Charlie) from Karlsruhe.
-It was cancelled, apparently because most of the advertised bands cancelled due to commitments elsewhere or due to the dubious history of the venue. So, a number of the German bands organised their own event at the same venue.
