On The Radar
This is one of those festivals that can be added to the category of "wishful thinking".
The line-up this year already looks pretty decent and sometimes those smaller festivals are quite enjoyable. As a bonus, the location for this one looks beautiful. It may be added to that list of festivals that I'd like to see if I ever find the funds to do a festival tour of Europe during the summer. (Again, this is probably more wishful thinking as the cost would be astronomical and any job I might find probably wouldn't be willing to grant a two or three month leave).
On an interesting note: Wolfszeit Festival actually has a list of banned music on their website.
Banned From the Festival
This is an interesting concept, and the reasoning behind it is understandable. While I'm not familiar with various laws in Germany, this seems quite different to the law here, as I'm sure someone would complain that their freedom is being infringed upon. But again, I would consider a festival as somewhat of a private event in which the organizers can implement a few rules to make the atmosphere safer. This is the first festival website where I have noticed this, and I have no issues with the concept. I just find it very intriguing and perhaps a good point for discussion.
