Overview

• Local officials pressed a roughly €8,000 land‑use fee, prompting organizers to register the event as a political assembly to secure free use of the grounds.
• Courts backed a glass‑bottle ban and more stewards while rejecting a blanket alcohol ban sought by authorities.
• On the eve of the opening, the county moved to block a path over claimed toad habitat before allowing passage from noon to 1 a.m. during concert hours.
• Attendance is capped at 3,500 per night and tickets were allocated by lottery due to heavy demand, according to the organizers.
• The assembly authority is monitoring on site and some legal challenges by local bodies remain active, but the two‑day festival is proceeding.
