Protest culture from the past There's still so much rock'n'roll in Krokus fans today

Rock'n'roll is a way of life and represents the protest culture of an entire generation. But how much rock'n'roll is still in Krokus and Status Quo fans today? blue Music went to Locarno to find out.

"You can really shake it off," is how one festival-goer sums up the rock'n'roll lifestyle - and adds: "It just makes you feel free." It's no coincidence that he was at Moon&Stars in Locarno on Friday: two cult rock bands, Krokus and Status Quo, set the Piazza Grande alight.

Towards the end of the 1940s, frustrated young Americans in particular saw rock'n'roll as a way of expressing their feelings free from norms and rebelling against social constraints. Since then, rock'n'roll has been more than just a style of music, it is an attitude to life and stands for the protest culture of an entire generation.

"Rock'n'roll never dies", as the saying goes. But what about the spirit of the past today? How much rock'n'roll is still in Krokus and Status Quo fans? blue Music host Annina Frey asked around on the Piazza Grande. You can see the result in the video.
