After twelve successful years in Thuringia the biggest indie rock festival in eastern Germany is held in Saxony since 2010. The festival grounds are located on the peninsula of Magdeborn on the shores of the Störmthal lake in the municipality of Großpösna next to Leipzig. The area offers plenty of space for three days of live concerts of national and international acclaim. The camping area is equally spacious and can accommodate all 35,000 Highfield fans – and more. People who like to camp a little more comfortably may take advantage of one of many lodging possibilities offering a superior camping experience. Of course, all guests can relax if they want to – thanks to the Störmthal lake that also offers adrenalin rushes: The possibilities range from banana boats and tube riding to kiting, paddle boards and beach volleyball. The festival’s very own radio station Beck’s Camp FM broadcasts live from the festival – and is available online all year round.
