- Each year, during summertime, there is a open air festival in Bonn, Germany. Each weekend, there are artists like Peter Frampton, B.B.King, Deep Purple, Status Quo, etc. performing. German Heepster Rolf Grathwohl contacted the organization asking about Uriah Heep, and it seems that only if they get a LOT of requests Heep can be invited to play. So, if you want to get involved, please e-mail Mrs. Nusser-Wagner at nusser-wagner@kah-bonn.de asking for Uriah Heep at the Bonn Open Air Festival!
