"The Gaswerk is a good location in itself. In the parking garage next to the theater, we paid €4.50 from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. That's really good.
We attended the Kiez event in the summer, with WIZO, etc. There's just a gravel desert in front of the stage (we were completely covered in dust afterward) and no breakwater. I'm not usually a fan of wave ranges, but it was really wild, and people kept falling. Usually, it's easy to get out of a mosh pit, but here it was difficult. The beer and AFG drinks were expensive (€5.50) – and eventually, the beer ran out. The restroom situation wasn't great either. There weren't enough of them, or most people couldn't find them.
It was a nice day at the festival, and the people were very relaxed. I would go again, but the beautiful surroundings don't make up for the shortcomings."
