The mega-event was canceled for the first time in a quarter of a century. Starnacht boss Ramusch shares his concerns in an interview with "Krone".

Force of nature against force of nature - at least until now, it was believed that nothing could shake Starnacht ...

In fact, it was the first time in 25 years that the pop mecca in the Wachau had to be canceled. Despite all the losses and organizational hurdles, initiator Martin Ramusch had other concerns: "My first thought was not about our own damage, but I wondered how all those in the region who now have to fear for their homes and possessions must be faring." Together with ORF, he assures the victims of the floods of his support and is certain that he will be able to welcome his loyal audience again next year.

Unfortunately, the realization of Starnacht is out of the question.(Bild: ipmedia)

The sky over the Wachau remains dark
This year, however, it was out of the question. "Thank goodness the safety concept we worked out with the authorities worked. However, it is no longer technically feasible to set up the event site again by the planned date. We are now investigating the damage, which will take some time ..."
