This will take place at the already proven location at BÖLLERBAUER in Austria. “Free Flow Gathering” means that there is no given and organized program. No organized concerts or workshops. As said, the GRIASEICH is a pure. Free Flow Gathering and NOT a festival! What we offer to you is camping area, a beautiful and wide area to jam, make camp fire, large indoor areas, drinking water, running water (but no showers), toilets, open stage, an info board to organize yourself (workshops). In order to be able to provide all this, there is a compensation of 40 euros for the participants (in total, for all three days) payable locally. Furthermore, as usual, there will be food stalls and of course drinks at fair prices, as well as at the GRIASDI Festival.
We look forward to seeing you – and wonderful FREE FLOW days full of magical jams
