Nova Rock Festival was first held in 2005 near Nickelsdorf on the grounds of Pannonia Fields. Back then, it was only a two- to three-day event, but over the years it has grown into one of Europe’s biggest gatherings for rock and metal fans, now attracting visitors from multiple countries. Thanks to its close proximity to the Hungarian border, it has also become a favourite among Hungarian festivalgoers, largely due to its excellent value for money and consistently impressive line-up.
