Para más de un centenar de músicos, Rothemburg es sinónimo de un sueño. Todas las bandas que participan en la final internacional del festival Emergenza ya saben que una gran actuación en este festival no sólo les va a permitir abrir una puerta hacia Estados Unidos (para más información al respecto, podéis leer el artículo sobre MUNSHY y el Van Warped Tour), sino que les va a suponer mucho más… Lo primero de todo es que actuar en un festival como el Taubertal Open Air Festival no es cualquier cosa. Ya que permite a las bandas actuar ante una audiencia de más de 27.000 personas, pero no sólo eso, ya que además concede a las bandas la posibilidad de ser observados por representantes de las compañías discográficas más importantes, que no suelen perderse un evento como el que nos ocupa. ¿Quién no ha soñado alguna vez con tocar delante de tan numerosísimo y apasionado público como el que se dará cita en el Taubertal Open Air Festival?. Y lo más importante: ¿Qué grupo emergente no ha soñado nunca con celebrar un contrato con una gran multinacional?. A este respecto nos gustaría recordaros que SINCERE, segundo clasificado en la final internacional del festival Emergenza en su edición 2002, publicó el pasado Marzo su primer trabajo discográfico con SONY Alemania. Y todo gracias al escaparate que supone esta final. But that’s not all.
