etropolis2015 announcementRight from the festival headquarter: Last weekend, almost a year after leaving Berlin, the E-tropolis Festival opened for the first time in Oberhausen. As the fourth iteration of the series, 2014´s edition with 15 bands on two stages and a supporting line-up of six djs instantly attracted 4.000 enthusiasts into the heart of the German Ruhr area – a new record! Along with the classy line-up, which offered a viable mix of electronic pop, EBM and harsh industrial, featuring APOPTYGMA BERZERK, DIE KRUPPS, SUICIDE COMMANDO, HOCICO, AGONOIZE, ROTERSAND and many others, the Turbinenhalle in Oberhausen provided an authentic industrial flair with its lived history in service of the German steel-industry.

For everybody from long-term members to young hotshots, the festival had something to offer. At 10:00 pm also the party-floor joined the action, featuring DJ ANDY, mastermind of the Industrial-Project XOTOX, DJ MSTH from the „Night of the Machines“ in Frankfurt, Ruhr-area legend DJ DIVA who celebrated his 35th anniversary of his DJ career and many others. The flawless progression through the programme, was accompanied by a familiar scene character we came to love so dearly. A peaceful gathering of the likeminded, between sociable conversations and the passionate workout inside the pogo-pit. 

Of course, the fresh start of a festival always puts the whole organisation to a test, prividing new local requirements and challenges. In that respect the E-tropolis Festival settled really well in Oberhausen, although there is still room for improvement. We will take this year´s experience and apply it as good as possible to improve next year´s production from the start.
