Punk Rock in Ammerland

Organization and Shuttle
The festival's organization is geared towards its fans: 4 shuttle routes connect Apen with Westerstede, Edewecht, Augustfehn, and Bad Zwischenahn — those without their own vehicle are well catered for. Camping facilities and a continuous food service area ensure the necessary comfort.
Apen — Punk Rock in the Village
Apen is a municipality of 12,000 inhabitants in western Ammerland. The fact that a festival of this quality takes place here is thanks to the energy of the club structures — APEN AIR is proof that punk rock not only survives but thrives in the village.
