European Festival Awards - Οι νικητές!

Απονεμήθηκαν τα European Festival Awards σε τελετή που πραγματοποιήθηκε χθες στο Groningen της Ολλανδίας. 200 φεστιβάλ από 32 χώρες συμμετείχαν συνολικά στα βραβεία, ενώ 350.000 ψήφοι καταμετρήθηκαν από χρήστες οι οποίες συμψηφίσθηκαν με αυτές των κριτών.

Έχουμε και λέμε λοιπόν:

Καλύτερο μεγάλο ευρωπαϊκό festival αναδείχθηκε το Ουγγρικό Sziget, καλύτερο μεσαίο ευρωπαϊκό festival το Off Festival της Πολωνίας και καλύτερο μικρό ευρωπαϊκό festival το Haldern Pop της Γερμανίας.

Υποψήφιο ήταν και το δικό μας Rockwave Festival, στη μεσαία κατηγορία festival. To βραβείο του καλύτερου headlining act πήραν οι Coldplay.
