VIPs and partners enjoyed the great music acts at the reception in the "Krone" lounge at the "Krone" festival in Linz. How heat-resistant are top managers and politicians? We mingled with the numerous guests. 

"Heartbeat is the beat", sang the band Münchener Freiheit, and hands went up in front of the Sparkasse OÖ main stage almost of their own accord. People in the Krone Lounge were also tapping along - it was impossible to keep still anyway. "In these times, it's extraordinary that we can offer a festival with such great acts and free admission. This would not be possible without our partners," emphasized "OÖ-Krone" editor-in-chief Alexandra Halouska, who invited guests to the "Krone" lounge together with "OÖ-Krone" editorial coordinator Harald Kalcher and KOOP boss Didi Recknagl.

"Drink, drink, drink"
The recipe against the sweat-inducing heat? "Stay in the shade as much as possible," said Lawog board member Frank Schneider. "Drink, drink, drink," said Recknagl. "I'm off - there's nothing to sugarcoat," smiled presenter Carola Wachholder. Also present: Josef Paukenhaider (Brauunion), Patrick Hochhauser (Eurothermen), Klaus Obereder (ORF), singer Lika Doss and many more.
