Tanım
Das Southside startete in den Festival-Sommer zum ersten Mal 1999 – damals noch auf dem Flugplatz in Neubiberg. 2007 fand es nun zum neunten Mal in Folge auf einem 800m hoch gelegenen Plateau in Neuhausen ob Eck in der Nähe von Tuttlingen statt...
Neuhausen ob Eck liegt zwischen München, Stuttgart und Freiburg, nicht allzuweit vom Bodensee entfernt. (www.southside.de)
Das Southside ist ein Musikfestival mit Schwerpunkt Alternative Rock, das seit 1999 jährlich stattfindet. Seit 2000 ist das Festival in Neuhausen ob Eck bei Tuttlingen (Baden-Württemberg) auf einem ehemaligen Bundeswehrflugplatz (EDSN) beheimatet, das erste Southside hatte zuvor ebenfalls auf einem ehemaligen Militärflugplatz in Neubiberg bei München stattgefunden.
Die Bezeichnung Southside leitet sich vom Englischen south side ab, was soviel wie südliche Seite bedeutet und auf die Lage des Festivals im Süden Deutschlands hinweist. Gleichzeitig findet in Norddeutschland das ältere Schwester-Festival Hurricane statt, welches größtenteils das selbe Lineup aufweist.
Veranstaltet werden die Zwillingsfestivals vom deutschen Konzertveranstalter FKP Scorpio und der KOKO & DTK Entertainment GmbH. (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southside)
In English:
The Southside Festival, also just Southside, is a music festival that takes place near Tuttlingen, southern Germany, usually every June. It is promoted by German private music television channel VIVA, which belongs to Viacom, the MTV Network's parent company, since the end of 2004. The festival and its guests are generally associated with the alternative part of mainstream music, although the festival has been becoming more and more mainstream over the years.
The Hurricane Festival, often referred to as the mother of Southside, takes place on the same three days in the very north of Germany (contrary to Southside, which is in the very south). Together they're a twin festival, since they are on the same days and usually have the same lineup with only few exceptions.
After the great success of the Hurricane Festival, FKP Scorpio decided to make a similar event in the south of Germany. 1999 a former military airbase in Neubiberg, near Munich, was selected. In 2000 the festival was moved to another former military airbase, this time in Neuhausen ob Eck, which is near Freiburg and Stuttgart.
Because of the relative proximity to other countries (France, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein are all less than 100km away), the audience is very multinational. In 2003, the calculated maximum capacity of around 40.000 people was reached and the festival has been sold out well in advance since. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southside_Festival)
