Summer Celebration - Ferrara, Italy, August 12-16, 2006
We were booked for what seemed a big festival in Italy called Summer Celebration, near a city called Ferrara, near the Adriatic Sea. In the line up there were artists like Kindzadza, Infected Mushroom and Perplex. It was difficult to get to Ferrara from Milano, but we finally made it, but we had no sleep or any food at all. After arriving to the train station, we had something to eat and after a couple of hours Marco, the organizer came to pick us up . We slept in a hotel room for that day and then head to the festival. The location was a block of concrete in the middle of the city, but the infrastructure seemed nice, there were shops, food and a nice dancefloor.
We played on the first night, they were expecting around 1000 people, but less than half showed up. The deco was nice, but the soundsystem was very bad, it really didnt make sense. Everything was cool after the night we played, we rested and then suddenly everything changed. We had to fight even to get food and drinks, these Italians organizers did not care about us at all, so it was a really sad situation, specially after going to a party like Boom, basically they were already loosing money and they knew their festival was shit but were too stubborn to admit it to themselves. They did not care about the people at all!, very commercial party with no sense of culture at all, bad sound, bad line up, very bad vibes. Unfortunately our flight was booked for 3 days after we played, so we had to stay in that place far more than what we wanted and see this thing fall into pieces, no people coming, everything covered in garbage and absolutely nothing to do during the day.
But well in the end we survived and kept the good vibes, no matter how shitty the organizers were, we met Naveen, a dj from Slovenia and also we made some basque friends that had travelled from Spain, very nice people, they really saved us with just a smile and talking. We finally convinced someone from the organization to take us to the train station and we got the fuck out of the festival. We arrived to Milano and took a plane to Berlin for our next gig on the Isle of Rueguen in the north of Germany.
As you can see we didnt even took one picture in the party!!! it didnt really make sense hahah :D.
