So long, Open Air St. Gallen 2011 – see you next year
Well, that’s it – Open Air St. Gallen 2011 is done and dusted. Four days of sold-out music, (reasonably restrained) mayhem and just a touch of mud.

Review: Open Air St Gallen, Friday 01.06.11 – The Young Gods, Friska Viljor, The Vaccines, Elbow

Matthias (guitar/vocals) and Olivier … Continue reading »

The people over at the Open Air St Gallen festival have been beavering away frantically organising the stellar line-up of the 2010 festival.
