Jägermeister & rock music? They’ve always gone hand in hand. That’s why we’re back again this year at Nova Rock with our mobile bars – serving ice-cold Jägermeister shots, great vibes, and plenty of festival energy. Keep an eye out for the deers around the festival grounds and raise a toast with us and your crew to legendary nights, loud guitars, and real Jägermeister moments. Cheers!

“Kein Bock auf Nazis” (KBAN) is Germany’s largest youth initiative against right-wing extremism and racism and has been active as a non-profit organization since 2006. Every year, our teams travel to over 150 music and cultural events throughout the D-A-CH region to educate people about right-wing extremism, network and motivate them to get involved. At our stand, you can exchange ideas with others, pick up information material, get cool merchandise against right-wing extremism and make new contacts if you want to get active yourself.

A genuine roller skating rink will be making its debut at this year’s Nova Rock Festival.
