This has given us the chance to present upcoming bands at some great stages abroad even during this year!
Besides that it is important not to forget that Emergenza Festival gives the participants the best platform for taking their music and their band to the next level!

After the award ceremony the band was led to the biggest stage of the Taubertal Open Air Festival where they performed once more - this time in front of about 8000 people! The first price will either be a production of a record or a European tour (as chosen by the band itself).
