Maifeld Derby 2017

Maifeld Derby 2017 was by far the best year yet! Are the kids older, thus allowing us to stay up longer? Is the music selection getting better thus attracting even a larger eclectic group of amazing artists? Whatever the reason, Maifeld Derby was ranked this year as the Germany’s second BEST music festival for new comers. For the very first time, the core event was transmitted live on ArteConcert. (If you do not know Arte, it’s a public French-German tv network channel dedicated to arts and culture.)

We belted, danced and sang the entire Friday evening with Flut, J. Bernardt, Wild Beasts, Cigarettes after Sex, Sohn and Bilderbuch. We couldn’t managed more because Baby M was already swaying on his feet. And as much as he wanted to stay on for one of his favorite DJ - Trentemøller, we decided that staying up until 2am might be pushing it bit too much if we want to come back the next day.


Dinner break between bands
On Saturday we turned up about dinner time for Metronomy, listen to the amazing Kate Tempest rapped on stage (Last year she had the relaxing Parcours d’amour with the original intention of a reading from her new novel, but that quickly morphed into an impromptu rapping in the end. This year Kate got her own outdoor Fackelbühne with her entire band.) and wrapped up with Moderat.

We left out Sunday because kids needed a day to recover before going back to school on Monday..and also the summer heat was making us extremely drowsy and sleepy. Besides, this year we could stream from the Mediathek - courtesy of Arte on the programms we have missed. 

Loved it! See you Maifeld Derby 2018...
