Beats, bass, encounters: Open-air concerts in Thurgau
When the days get longer and the nights get warmer, it's open-air season. There is a wide range on offer: from the small, intimate Bischofszell open-air festival with hand-picked acts and a family atmosphere, to the genre-spanning Krach am Bach in Seebadi Tägerwilen, to the international Frauenfeld open-air festival, Europe's largest hip-hop festival, which will once again thrill tens of thousands of music fans at the beginning of July.
