Episode 7 - From Heavy Metal to Summer Festivals

Summer is in full swing, and so are Düsseldorf's headlines.This week, we discuss the troubled opening of the city's new Open Air Park during the System Of A Down concert and why the following Broilers show proved that large events can be organized much more successfully. We also talk about the start of Düsseldorf's famous Rhine Fair (Rheinkirmes), one of Germany's biggest annual funfairs.We take a closer look at the alarming number of drowning victims across Germany, Tour de Düsseldorf, and another dominant performance by Rhein Fire as they prepare for their rematch against the Vienna Vikings.As always, there are plenty of quirky local stories too: alcohol-free Altbier at the historic Schlüssel brewery, a scarecrow making an appearance at a public swimming pool, and the return of storks to northern Düsseldorf.Finally, we read and respond to your feedback before wrapping up another week of the biggest stories from Düsseldorf—covering news, sports, culture, and everything in between.
