Optimus Alive! - Optimus Alive!08

Optimus Alive!08

The second Optimus Alive! was held between 10–12 June. The second edition gained considerable international attention having both Bob Dylan and Neil Young in the line up, among other popular artists like Within Temptation. It was also helped by the U.K. magazine NME, which placed it in a list of Europes 12 best festivals outside of the U.K. along with Benicasim and Roskilde. The low cost of tickets and the optimum weather conditions ensured the festival's success.
