Universum25 - “Die Maschinen wollen leben” Tour 2026 - Support: SOAB
Hamburg became the starting point of UNIVERSUM25’s “Die Maschinen wollen leben” Tour 2026 - and what a powerful beginning it was. As the first city on the tour schedule, the Hanseatic metropolis carried a special weight: not only did it mark the live launch of the new album ‘Die Maschinen wollen leben’, released just days ago, but it also set the tone for the entire German run.

Australian Pink Floyd Show - “The Happiest Days of Our Lives - Greatest Hits” Tour
On 21 February 2026, the Rudolf-Weber-Arena in Oberhausen was once again transformed into a temple for Progressive Rock lovers. As part of their current “The Happiest Days of Our Lives - Greatest Hits” tour, THE AUSTRALIAN PINK FLOYD SHOW - undoubtedly the most successful PINK FLOYD tribute band in the world - stopped off in the Ruhr region. Those who miss the originals are known to be consoled by the Australians with absolute musical precision and a bombastic stage show. Saturday evening's concert impressively demonstrated why this formation will continue to fill larger arenas with ease in 2026.

Palladium, Cologne, Germany 20th February 2026
Airbourne - “Gutsy Tour 2026” - Special Guests: Avalanche, Asomvel
The air inside the Palladium in Cologne felt thick with anticipation and the faint, unmistakable scent of stale beer and fully patched leather / denim vests. It was a cold February night outside, but inside, the „Gutsy World Tour” was about to turn the sold-out venue into a high-voltage pressure cooker. With three bands cut from the same rowdy cloth of blue-collar Rock’n’Roll, this was never going to be a night for the faint of heart.

Alter Bridge - “What Lies Within” European Tour 2026 - Special guests: Sevendust, Daughtry
Here is a specific kind of electricity that fills the Turbinenhalle when the Industrial steel beams of Oberhausen meet the titan-sized riffs of American Hard Rock. Last night, the “What Lies Within” tour made its stop in the Ruhr area, delivering a triple-bill masterclass in technical precision and emotional weight.

Interview withKyle Blaqk (vocals) from Auger
In the autumn of 2025, just after an intense co-headline night with DIARY OF DREAMS in Dresden, I caught up with AUGER while the adrenaline was still very much in the air. The show felt sharper, heavier and more emotionally exposed than anything the British duo had brought to continental stages before, a perfect moment to talk about growth, stagecraft and what “AUGER 2025” really means. What followed was a conversation about deliberate evolution, cinematic tension, the art of live catharsis and the slow, stubborn work of becoming the band you hear in your head.
