Lovefield Festival
The Love Field Festival was an open air - music festival at various locations in northern Germany. It started in 1994 as a Goa and trance party in Grabow , Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .
From 1998 to 2002 the Lovefield took place near Elsdorf , Lower Saxony . In 2002, heavy rain flooded the entire festival area, so the party had to be canceled. Because of the associated financial loss, the original promoter Freeform Records had to sell the name Lovefield .
From 2003 the organizer FKP Scorpio took over the rights to this festival, which is also the main organizer of the very popular Hurricane Festival in Scheeßel (15 km from Elsdorf). Scorpio thus started the attempt to turn the Lovefield into a festival for electronic music in general , and above all to market the name Lovefield. This was also noticeable in the extreme advertising campaign that made Lovefield known in northern Germany.
In August 2003 the event took place on three days at the airfield between Stade and Agathenburg (Lower Saxony) about 40 km north of Elsdorf with about 8000 visitors.
In 2004 the festival could no longer be held on the meadow near Elsdorf, as the responsible authorities in the district town of Rotenburg no longer released the area for such activities. So the next move was due and the Eichenring near Scheeßel became the home of the Lovefield Festival.
In 1973 and 1977, two open-air music festivals took place on the oak ring surrounded by forests and fields . Since 1997 the festival tradition of the place has been continued with the Hurricane Festival .
The hosting of the event on the Eichenring turned out to be only a short "guest performance", as the Lovefield Festival moved to another location as early as the next year.
Since 2005 the festival has been taking place in the middle of Hamburg in the newly emerging HafenCity under the name "Lovecity Festival".
