The Nova Rock Festival, also just Nova Rock, is a music festival that took place for the first time from Thursday, the 9th, till Sunday, the 12th of June 2005. In 2006 it was scheduled from Thursday, June 15th to Saturday, June 17th on the Pannonia Fields II (meaning that year it would feature a new, better location than last year).
The Nova Rock takes place on the Pannonia Fields in Burgenland, the easternmost federal state of Austria, near Nickelsdorf (hu: Hegyeshalom) and the Hungarian and Slovak borders. It is organized by Nova Music Entertainment, which is a cooperation of Musicnet, FKP Scorpio and several former employees/bookers of Wiesen, who left Wiesen in 2004 after ongoing internal misunderstandings.
