Dong Open Air
Report: Dong Open Air 2018
Metal Exposure’s yearly pilgrimage was due – heavily packed for a long journey up the sacred Dong mountain, we made our way to the unique location that is the Halde Norddeutschland. Together with other pilgrims, we began the arduous climb in our search for deliverance.. What makes this place so special, you ask? Well, it […]

Dong Open Air 2017
Weird times call for rock & roll – this was the motto for the Dong Open Air festival of 2017. We don’t need to tell you what those weird times are about, as much as we don’t need to tell you how to rock & roll. Because this is done every year at Dong Open […]
Preview: Dong Open Air 2017
Every time I’m driving on the German Autobahn a57 near Neukirchen, I longingly gaze at the Halde Norddeutschland with its skeleton house landmark where the Dong Open Air festival takes place every year. Oh, the fun times we had on top of that Dong Mountain, sipping beer in the sky lounge and head banging to […]
Dong Open Air 2015
In a few weeks, metal-exposure will be heading towards the Dong Open Air Festival once more. Since 2007, our crewmembers have been visiting this festival, and we haven’t missed a single year after that. We can genuinely say it’s one of our favourite festivals, since the atmosphere is always great and cosy. Besides the fact […]

This year was quite the opposite and it seemed more alike the very first DOA that Metal-Exposure attented, because it was HOT, very hot! When […]
Dong Open Air 2013
There is one festival that we from Metal-Exposure look forward to especially every year. It is a small festival on a unique location, with one stage, two bars, and just a few thousand visitors. But somehow, it always manages to be the biggest party of the year… We are talking, of course, of Dong Open […]
Dong Winterparty 2013
Besides the usual Dong Open Air summer festival, Dong also organised a Winterparty this year. The venue was crowded and full with people. With a headliner like Suidakra, and big attraction The Grailknights this wasn’t surprising! We had a blast! Watch our photo impression
Report: Dong Open Air 2012
It was the 5th year already that Metal-Exposure was present at Dong Open Air (for some of us the 6th), but I think it was the first time that it wasn’t extremely windy on the hill when we arrived. Which made us extremely happy cause we could build up our tents without stress. Instead of […]
