“School’s Out” in Bolzano
From 3 p.m., a total of 13 up-and-coming bands from across South Tyrol will perform one after another at the open-air festival, which is well known far beyond Bolzano. For many of the ambitious rock bands, this will be their first opportunity to demonstrate their talent on a big stage before an even bigger, enthusiastic audience. The “School’s Out” open-air festival in Bolzano often serves as a springboard to a music career that attracts attention, at least nationally. The day’s highlight is expected to be a performance by the internationally renowned rock band “Mando Diao” from 11 p.m.
