Vuvuzelas Banned From Wacken Open Air 2010
Hot Flashes
Posted on Wednesday, June 30, 2010 at 14:01:25 EST
This year's edition of the Wacken Open Air festival is scheduled for August 5th - 7th in Wacken, Germany.
Organizers have issued the following message:
"Many of you might have a Vuvuzela , suitable for the World Championship in South Africa. Vuvuzelas officially have a sound level of 135 decibels, which is 10 dB louder than a starting jet plane so we have decided to ban them completely from the festival.
To avoid that the live performances of the artists will be disturbed by the nerve strucking trumpet noises, our security will check the whole audience at the entrance to the festival area. If someone doesn´t abide to this rule, the security is advised to take theses instruments away.
Please also take care at the camping area and do not disturb your neighbours. They will thank you for this...
Thanks for your understanding."
