Switzerland’s Greenfield Festival has already sold out its first batch of early bird tickets for next year’s event following a successful 2024 edition.
Just over 84,000 visitors – in line with last year’s record attendance – flocked to the rock and metal gathering to see headliners Green Day, Bring Me The Horizon, The Prodigy in Interlaken, Bern, from 13-15 June.
The supporting bill featured acts such as Sum 41, Machine Head, Babymetal, Dropkick Murphys, Kraftklub and The Interrupters, with other attractions including the 30,000-cap event’s annual medieval market.
Organiser Act Entertainment says that moderate temperatures led to fewer police and paramedic call-outs than in previous years.
“The stable visitor numbers and the slight increase this year demonstrate the clear and successful positioning of the festival”
“The stable visitor numbers and the slight increase this year demonstrate the clear and successful positioning of the festival,” the CTS Eventim-backed promoter’s CEO Thomas Dürr tells IQ.
