# Southside Festival

El Southside Festival, también conocido como Southside, es un festival de música rock que se celebra en junio cerca de la localidad alemana de Tuttlingen. El festival está patrocinado por el canal musical VIVA, que pertenece a Viacom desde finales del 2004.
El Hurricane Festival, a veces llamado la madre de Southside, tiene lugar los mismos tres días, al norte de Alemania (en contraposición con el Southside que es al sur). Se trata de dos festivales gemelos, ya que suelen contar con el mismo cartel de bandas.

## Historia

Tras el gran éxito del Hurricane Festival, FKP Scorpio se decidió a crear un evento similar en el sur de Alemania. En el año 1999 una base aérea en Neubiberg, cerca de Múnich, fue elegida. En el 2000 el festival se trasladó a otra base aérea, esta vez en Neuhausen ob Eck, que está cerca de Friburgo y Stuttgart.
Debido a la relativa proximidad de otros países (Francia, Austria, Suiza y Liechtenstein están a menos de 100km de distancia), la audiencia es multitudinaria.
