It's been said about Dockville...

"Dockville is definitely going to be a festival talked about in the international media. The scenery by all means is unbeatable." LINA KALMTEG, Svenska Dagbladet (SvD), SWEDEN




"Thank you for throwing such an amazing and meaningful festival! It is so heartening to know that there are people who care about creating a concert experience that stands out from most of the generic things going on right now and that is run by people who genuinely care about assembling an amazing roster of groups to play at it." BEN GOLDWASSER, MGMT (performed their exclusive Germany concert at Dockville 2009)




"...In general terms Dockville can become one of those pearls hard to find in Europe, with its mixture of rightly blending new names that have not yet come to be media, some headliners and many German names, all within an enclosure that offers all the amenities you find in the big summer festivals. To be continued next year." WALTER PENILLA, ROCKZONE, SPAIN
