Dear Dongians,

we took our time and spent it wisely to make sure we can inform you about something worthwhile. This time has now come!

Dear Dongians,

we took our time and spent it wisely to make sure we can inform you about something worthwhile. This time has now come!

As you probably know, this summer we will celebrate our dapper little festival for the 10^th time. It’s an occasion we would like to fete properly. Come anniversary day at the 23^rd and 24^th of July, a retrospective of the past nine years of Dong Open Air will take place at the hill top of the Halde Norddeutschland. We will round up a whole bunch of the artists who rocked our stage in the time between 2001 and 2009. Amongst these, there will be quite a few highlights from past years, people we by now consider friends, even reunions and of course a headliner or two from one of those drunk summer evenings of the past decade.

Of course we also picked a new motto for this year, which was inspired by the phenomenal support we have received from you especially at last year’s Dong festival: Dong Open Air 2010 – In Dong We Trust

To make everything match our motto, we re-designed our website www.dongopenair.de with the neatest illustrations our dear artist has produced so far. If you miss the Dong cows of the past, you will experience a wonderful reunion!

To satisfy your curiosity a bit, here’s the first band confirmation for this summer’s party: Headliners of 2006, we bring you Die Apokalyptischen Reiter! A few years back they started a great party, one of the greatest in Dong history one dares to say, and in 2010 Dr Pest and the rest of the bunch will be back to see you again and to party hard!

Starting today and twice a week we will inform you about the bands who are to play at the D.O.A 2010. As we’d hate to look like spammers, we decided to put the bands up in the news section of www.dongopenair.de instead of sending it through our newsletter. You will find all sorts of info along with pictures, weblinks and of course general band info in the rider “D.O.A. 2010” as you could in earlier years.

Our pre-sale should start at Sunday, 7th of march, at 12 noon exclusively on www.dongopenair.de. Since it only took 4 hours to sell out last year, you are well-advised to buy your tickets quickly.

Enjoy the next band confirmations!

Your Dong Team
