Echelon Festival in Bad Aibling: Storm threatens cancellation and chaos!
The Echelon Festival in Bad Aibling is currently struggling with the effects of a violent storm. As the Passauer Neue Presse reports, the organizers had to inform festival visitors on Saturday morning that numerous damages on the site had been caused by heavy rain and thunderstorms.
The festival site is partially under water, with visitors reporting that the site is heavily flooded. In some places the water was ankle deep and the parking lot had turned into a muddy area. The organizers ask visitors not to travel for the time being, as the opening of the site could potentially be significantly delayed.
Emergency services on site
The situation on site is dramatic: an ambulance from BRK Kolbermoor got stuck in the area after the emergency services were alerted to a mass casualty incident (MANV 2). To ensure the safety of visitors, the emergency services have already set up a staging area and a treatment area.
Many visitors also report destruction and water accumulation on the campsite, which makes the situation even more difficult. The weather forecast leaves little hope for improvement as further rain and thunderstorm warnings have been announced. The uncertainty remains as to whether the festival can even take place on Saturday. What happens next remains to be seen, and the Passauer Neue Presse will update the article accordingly if there is new information.
What now?
The situation is a significant problem for the organizers of the Echelon festival, as unclear weather conditions pose a serious threat to its implementation. Today is August 16th, 2025 and the event that wanted to attract many music lovers is now on the brink.
In this tense situation, visitors are keeping their fingers crossed and hoping that the weather situation will improve quickly so that the festival can still go ahead as planned. Unfortunately, the area will remain closed until then. The organizers' next steps are not yet clear and will hopefully be announced soon.
