Summer Breeze Open Air

LeSummer Breeze Open Air, aussi simplement abrégéSummer BreezeouSBOA, est unfestivalallemandconsacré auheavy metalet aupunk hardcore, organisé annuellement àDinkelsbühl,Bavière, enAllemagne. L'affluence est d'environ 40 000 personnes chaque année.
La première édition du festival date de1997. Au départ, il se tenait àAbtsgmünd, dans les environs d’Aalen, jusqu'en 2006 où il a été déplacé àDinkelsbühl, distant de 40km. Le festival occupe alors l’aérodrome de la ville.
De2009à2011inclus a lieu en hiver sur le même site un autre festival présenté par les mêmes organisateurs : leWinter Freeze. Il ne dure qu’un jour, et la programmation est assez proche de celle du Summer Breeze.
La manifestation a généralement lieu du jeudi au samedi de la semaine du15 août. Durant trois jours, environ 130 groupes se produiront sur quatre scènes (en 2023): les deux scènes principales (Main StageetPain Stage) se situent côte à côte, ce qui permet aux groupes de jouer en alternance. Le public souffre ainsi moins des chevauchements de programme et des temps d’attente pour accéder aux zones de concert. La troisième scène,Partyzelt, est rebaptiséeT-Stageen2014, en hommage à Michael « Mr. T »Trengert, cofondateur de l’événement décédé en2013. Elle est plus éloignée, et la tente assure une bonne isolation phonique. Elle accueille traditionnellement un concours de jeunes talents le premier soir, le New Blood Award, dont le gagnant se produit le jeudi en première partie sur laPain Stage; et laMetal Hammer Nightle dernier soir. La quatrième scène est laCamel Stage, construite à côté de laT-Stage, et sponsorisée par la marque de cigarettesCamel. Elle abrite depuis 2010 le mercredi laNuclear Blast Label Night, où se produisent des groupes du label.
La fréquentation du festival augmente assez rapidement, avec 39 000 visiteurs en 2011 et 45 000 en 2015. Pour s’adapter, l’organisation élargit chaque année les zones de parking et de camping, et rectifie l’organisation des scènes pour raccourcir le parcours des festivaliers.
Le terrain de camping est équipé de douches, de toilettes, de points d'eau potable, de stands de nourriture et de panneaux d'information et est patrouillé en permanence par la police, les pompiers, les services de secours et le service de sécurité.
De plus, leHandicapped Campingest une zone spéciale pour les visiteurs handicapés / en fauteuil roulant / souffrant d'apnée du sommeil. Le site est équipé de podiums, y compris des toilettes accessibles aux personnes en fauteuil roulant devant la Main Stage. On essaie de rendre le festival aussi accessible que possible.
