Rock festival “Jamel rocks the forester” canceled due to continuous rain

After continuous rain, more changeable weather is expected in Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on Saturday. “You should have an umbrella with you,” said a meteorologist from the German Weather Service (DWD). In all three federal states there could always be showers and thunderstorms, but at the same time it would be windy. However, it is not expected that it will rain continuously for a long period of time.

The rain is expected to ease in the north and northeast on Saturday afternoon. According to the DWD, temperatures of around 18 degrees are expected in Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg, and 20 degrees can also be reached in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. There can also be stormy gusts, especially on the coasts.

According to the information, Sunday itself will ultimately be cloudy to clear. The maximum temperature values ​​in the three federal states would then be 21 to 22 degrees Celsius. The wind should also decrease as the day progresses.

Concerts at the rock festival planned for Friday were canceled

Due to the weather, today's opening day of the rock festival "Jamel rocks the Förster" was canceled. According to the organizers, all concerts planned for Friday have been canceled. The constant rain has turned the area into a muddy landscape. The heavy stage equipment could no longer be transported and set up safely.

“Jamel rocks the forester” is a rock festival with a political message that has been held since 2007. The organizers, the married couple Birgit and Horst Lohmeyer, want to send a signal against right-wing extremism. It is a counter-event to efforts by local neo-Nazis to transform the village of Jamel near Wismar in northwest Mecklenburg into a model right-wing extremist community.
