history

The Force Attack took place for the first time in 1996 in Behnkenhagen, although it took place twice beforehand at separate locations. At that time were still 26 bands, who played for two days on two stages. Already starting from 2000 the festival was extended to three days and the amount of band increased accordingly. The festival regularly brings in thousands of people. In 2006 there was a particularly large amount: Due to the ten-year anniversary, nearly 14,000 people were already at the festival by Friday afternoon.
