Euro 08 kicks Radio Argovia Fäscht out of the field
Radio Argovia has canceled this year's free open-air festival. The festival has been overshadowed by the upcoming Euro 08 soccer championship. Because Radio Argovia wants to be «100 percent» committed to the major soccer event in Switzerland, it is not possible to hold the open-air festival at the same time this year, the station announced.
The Aargau broadcaster Radio Argovia is canceling this year's free open-air festival. Because Radio Argovia wants to be "one hundred percent" involved in the big football festival in Switzerland, it is not possible to hold the open-air festival at the same time this year, the station announced. Countless sporting and cultural events will also be taking place in the Mittelland before and during Euro 08. Radio Argovia wants to focus all its efforts on this and also enter into media partnerships. In addition, there is apparently no capacity left for the simultaneous staging of the Radio Argovia Festival. Therefore, after careful consideration, the decision has been made to hold the music event again next year - which is euro-free. Last year, around 70,000 visitors attended the two-day festival and saw concerts by Gölä, Bligg, Baschi and the Swiss Jazz Orchestra & Friends.
