Party.San Open Air is a metal festival held annually in Schlotheim Flugplatz-Obermehler, Germany (near Muhlhausen) since 1996. The 2012 edition will take place on August 9 - August 11.[1]
History
The festival was founded in 1996 as an open air birthday party with a few local bands. Due to troubles with the public order office the official open air, called "Endsommer-Festival", had to be delayed from August to September. Nevertheless the first festival took place unofficially in August, so finally there were two open air festivals in this year. This is the reason why the 10th Party.San Open Air wasn't the 10th but the 9th anniversary.[2][3]
In the following years the Party.San Open Air was annually held at the second weekend in August. It finally grew up to a number of more than 10,000 visitors.
