Well, to clarify things, the seperate camping was the real April fool, the last Dong too, but the wind turbines aren't. At least, that's what "Verstehen Sie Spaß" told me yesterday. :D

so they toke the newspaper of the wind turbines and build an April fools joke around it, that's quiet clever because that's the reason why I fell for it.
I first thought it was an April fools joke, but then I saw the scanned newspaper article about it...

And I had a problem reading it. Only the 1st part (left of the photo) was readable, the right part wasn't. So...

Besides, I was suspiciious this year. It paid off.

Too bad the study about the wind tubines isn't a joke, but reality. We'll see if we will ever make it to see the festival move, or stick to the hill there.

GODVERDOMME!!! :mad:

Door de veranderingen bij de DB, moet ik nu:
a) óf een uur eerder vertrekken, met Thalys! (en die wil enkel eigen biljetten accepteren, d.h. 19€ en dan nog 't deel van de DB achteraan);
b) óf een uur later vertrekken, maar dan zijn we pas tegen 14:00h in Moers/Dong. Maar wel met 't voordeel dat ik maar één ticket moet kopen. (€15)
c) óf ik vertrek aartsvroeg, en ga in DE enkel lokaal reizen, maar dan ben ik nog €17 kwijt. En dan zit ik in 'n stopper/boemel van Aken tot Rheinhausen, en kom niet in Duisburg aan.

Ik vrees dat ik deze keer tóch 'n Thalys moet nemen. :(

Done. 11.15am in Cologne and I'll take a train from there. Arrival in Duisburg: 12.23pm, or 12.27pm, depending on how and what train I'll take in Cologne.

Cheers folks,

first of all, we got some brand new info for you! You can help us push the Dong Open Air 2013! The thirteenth Dong was selected to run in a regional cultural competition (Kreiskulturtage des Kreises Wesel). If we win, we’ll get financial support from the district of Wesel. Although all competitors will be evaluated individually by a jury, there is also a poll online up until May 11th: Check it out on www.facebook.com/kreiswesel

The project with the highest number of votes will automatically become a competitor for 2013. So get on facebook and vote for the Dong! You can vote until May 11th, 10 a.m., but please feel free to go there and raise your hand on our behalf. After all we are talking about an awesome festival weekend in 2013!

But now on to news about this year’s festival: Soon, you'll find the running order of the 2012 D.O.A. on our website. We mixed up the bands so you’ll find a decent mixture of all sorts of different, newcomers, old skool metal veterans and a bunch of awesome headliners each day. So don't forget to check back these days!

Take care and thanks for voting for us in advance,
Your Dong Team

Hey everyone,

wow, wow and wow again! We never dreamed of the sheer amount of responses to our call to arms earlier this week. Thanks to you and your many "likes" on Facebook, we currently stand a good chance to make it into the selection for Kreiskulturtage des Kreises Wesel.

Check out our totally awesome band applications system!

http://dongopenair.de/index.php?option=com_jumi&fileid=8&Itemid=103&lang=en

Improvements over last year's include a rad new Chrome bug...

Cheers, dearest of all Dong people!

It has taken some time, but – believe it or not – we have made it out of the mud… at least with one of our legs. ;) These days of immobility were used wisely though. After giving this plenty of thought, our somewhat rain-sodden brain came to the conclusion that we should start the 2013 Dong Open Air already at the second weekend of July. We’ll have an excellent heavy metal hill party from July 11th to July 13th. Mud or no mud.


Now that we’ve given you some dates to plan with, bring on your band applications! :) If you don’t have anything else to do on the 11th, 12th or 13th of July, but happen to have a pretty awesome band, go ahead and apply to play. This can be done easily and quickly on our website. If you don’t have a band of your own, but know of a band you really want to play at our festival, inform them that there are a number of unclaimed, nay virgin slots for anyone who can rock their instruments to our liking. We do not care about record deals, the number of released records or home countries, as long as you can hook us up with some demo material! You can apply until November 30th, but please keep in mind that you can only apply through our online form – any other type of application will be ignored. If you applied in 2012, you can simply reactivate previously submitted material!

Last but not least, let us tell you that we are working on a little project that should work without any muddy surprises but that should help us even out some of the unexpected expenses this year’s has brought upon us. So stay tuned!
Waving with the mud-less leg,
Your Dong Team!

Vote for Dong 2013!

Dear Dong Fans,

during the first half of this year you already impressed us with your good taste and voting expertise and consequent help for our festival at the voting for the Kreiskulturtage 2013. We would like to continue this success – and there is a new opportunity!

The Ing DiBa bank started a campaign called “DiBaDu und Dein Verein 2012” (“DiBaDu and your club”), offering to donate €1,000 to 1,000 clubs at the end of the campaign. Of course, we’re in the race for this and are hoping for your help! But only if we collect enough votes until the 6th of November, we can count on their financial help. We have to get this going now because the campaign already started in September!

If you would like to support the Dong Open Air, you only need to invest a minute of your time and vote for us on the DiBa website.
http://verein.ing-diba.de/kultur/47506/dong-kultur-ev

You will receive three voting codes – after submitting your cellphone number – of which we hope you submit all three in favor of the Dong Kultur e.V. Don’t worry. Your phone number will be deleted by the bank afterwards and the bank has published a written statement not to send you any type of advertisement. We, who run the festival, have gone through the same thing! Unfortunately the codes can only be sent to German cellphone numbers.

We will keep you updated about our ranking! Since there are four categories regarding the size of the club, we need to reach at least #250 in order to get the money.


Last but not least we’d like to use this opportunity to remind you of our online application procedure for 2013. Do you play in a band and would like to play at the next Dong Open Air? No problem, just apply through our web form and be sure to include some audio material.

Please take a minute and vote for us.
http://verein.ing-diba.de/kultur/47506/dong-kultur-ev

Thank you for all your support,

Your Dong Team
