Time flies and here we are once again beginning the journey that will take us all this year to our Emergenza International Final, which will be held in Rothenburg, Germany, on August 11, 12 and 13 2006. More than 1,000,000 $ worth of instruments, gear and promotional services await the best bands and musicians. Ernie Ball Music Man, Crate, Ampeg, Mapex, Sabian, Sennheiser, Snarling Dogs, Viscount and many others offer the prizes and support the Festival and the Grand Final. After the huge success last year the Emergenza Village@Taubertal will host again staff, musicians, guests, and jury members with a bar, stands and the coolest party in Taubertal after the sun goes down. There will be also a warm up stage where the bands will be able to tune up their instruments and prepare for the show.
