Kamelot - “Dark Asylum World Tour 2026” - Special Guests: Exit Eden, Temperance
Some evenings give away what they have in store even before the first note is played. Long before the doors opened, a line of people in black T-shirts snaked its way in front of the entrance to the LKA-Longhorn: KAMELOT, NIGHTWISH, VISIONS OF ATLANTIS, with the occasional EPICA hoodie here and there. No one had come just to spend a quick evening there. Three bands, three sets built around powerful choruses and some of the genre’s strongest voices: for anyone who loves symphonic and melodic metal, the line-up was nearly perfect.

Live Music Hall, Cologne, Germany 7th November 2026
President - “Blood of Your Empire” Tour 2026 - Special Guests: Dreamwake, Vianova
PRESIDENT is a band that, from the very beginning, has relied on mystery, sheer force, and total sensory overload. With no recognizable faces and no music releases, they suddenly appeared on the Download Festival line-up - instantly causing a stir. Their dark visuals, apocalyptic language, and cinematic, metallic soundscape hit a nerve: powerful, mysterious, and highly dramatic. Turns out that this was exactly the secret sauce which propelled the band to stardom, and drew scores of people to sell out the venues for the tour promoting their first album ‘Blood of Your Empire’ in no time.

And today on a cold November day in Cologne it was time for the wait to be over.

Sonic Squad 7th Anniversary with LeStrange & Supports: Ajna, Krilin, Zubin, Ttunes, Psyesh & Saynt
Sometimes the most fascinating musical discoveries begin with a familiar connection and lead us into entirely unexpected territory. In my case, it started with mutual acquaintances from the alternative music scene, who sparked my curiosity about Paolo Ferrara and FLYMEON. Both artists explore fascinating intersections between electronic music and the heavier sounds of Rock, Metal and Industrial. Ferrara’s recent work incorporating classical strings adds yet another intriguing dimension to this musical crossover.

Batschkapp, Frankfurt, Germany1st November 2026
Midnight Til Morning - “World Tour 2026” - Support: Go-Jo
Although I usually enjoy Netflix reality shows and music competitions, somehow ‘Building the Band’ had completely passed me by. Nevertheless, I was curious to see what had come out of the show, especially since I really liked the music of MIDNIGHT TIL MORNING. So, without knowing much about the band or what to expect from their live performance, I headed to Frankfurt’s Batschkapp. And as it turned out, I was in for quite a few surprises that evening.
