Overview
- Alphaville frontman Marian Gold said on Instagram that he broke a rib and is unfit to perform, and he promised the band will make up the show next year.
- Festival organizers moved quickly to name Peter Schilling as a last‑minute headliner so the event could proceed.
- Several other 1980s acts — including Midge Ure, Kim Wilde, Paul Young, Limahl, Carol Decker, Robin Beck and Camouflage — remain on the bill to fill the program.
- Peter Schilling is expected to perform his catalog of hits, with his signature song presented as a focal point of the replacement set.
- Alphaville’s prominent 1980s anthems set high expectations for a future rescheduled date and the postponement will be watched by fans and promoters as Gold recovers.
