Jahren Teil der O.Z.O.R.A. und es wurde z.B. direkt eine Beibehaltung der Speise- und Getränkepreise angekündigt. Trennungen kommen nun mal mit negativen Emotionen, das kennt jeder. Im Grunde macht die O.Z.O.R.A. aber genau das, was sie immer gemacht hat: Ein erstklassiges Festival mit psychedelischem Schwerpunkt. Neu in diesem Jahr ist das deutlich erweiterte Kunstprogramm im Magic Garden, der neue Feuer-Space und die Einführung der Mülltrennung.
