At the rock festival in Seebronn, the campsite remained a hub of celebration despite a reduced program.

Nissan and German camper specialist Eifelland have developed the Interstar-e Relax, an electric camper based on Nissan's large electric van. It will debut at the end of August at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf. Priced at €89,900, it features an 87 kWh battery, a WLTP range of 410 km, DC fast charging up to 130 kW, and a standard 22 kW onboard charger. Inside, there is a fixed double bed (1.9×1.6 m), a kitchen with a 90-litre fridge, induction hob and sink, a toilet, and 2.6 cubic metres of storage. The Truma Eezy parking heater runs off the traction battery, eliminating the need for diesel.
