XXIV Wroclaw Industrial Festival Day 3 with Slow Slow Loris, Heimstatt Yipotash, Test Dept, Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio, Mono No Aware
Saturday held the festival’s emotional centre. SLOW SLOW LORIS opened with a performance as delicate as it was intense - hushed drones, whispered vocals, and small electronic fractures that felt like listening to someone’s dreams in real time. HEIMSTATT YIPOTASH then flipped the equation with intricate rhythmic architecture and relentless momentum, finally bringing many in the audience fully into motion.

Bei chez Heinz, Hanover, Germany16th November 2025
SuspYria
It’s a grey, rainy afternoon in Hanover. Bored, I scroll through my social media feeds, expecting to spend the evening on the sofa in my sweatpants. The most exciting thing the day has to offer is the evening episode of Tatort (a crime series that is, in a sense, part of Germany’s cultural heritage). Then a post by the newcomer band SUSPYRIA catches my eye, a band I had already noticed a few weeks ago. The four Hanoverians are playing a very spontaneously planned gig at Hanover’s cult location Bei chez Heinz (sic!). So I charge my camera battery and a few hours later drive to the other end of town.

Palladium, Cologne, Germany 16th November 2025
The Plot In You - “Europe 2025 Tour” - Special guests: Currents, Saosin, Cane Hill
Besides drizzle, fog, and dropping temperatures, November has packed another punch: The American Metalcore band THE PLOT IN YOU was coming to town, which all but guarantees a good and sweaty time for all music enthusiasts. A little more than one year after THE PLOT IN YOU played the neighbouring E-Werk, the band has sold out the much larger Palladium.

The Rasmus - “Weirdo Tour” 2025 - Support: The Funeral Portrait, Block of Flats
On November 11th, 2025, Hamburg’s legendary Markthalle shook once again as Finnish Rock icons THE RASMUS kicked off the German leg of their “Weirdo Tour”. The show was completely sold out, and the atmosphere heated up long before the headliners took the stage thanks to support performances from THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT and BLOCK OF FLATS, who delivered powerful sets and set the tone for an unforgettable night.

XXIV Wroclaw Industrial Festival 2025 Day 2 with Shantidas, Alos, Schloss Tegal, Thorofon, Portion Control
Friday traced a line from absurd theatre to full-scale sonic assault. SHANTIDAS, tethered to his shopping trolley, staged a fierce, uneasy dialogue with consumer culture, turning everyday objects into abrasive instruments and the hall into a collapsing supermarket of feedback and distortion.

John Butler - “Prism - Uk & Euro Tour 2025” - Support: Noah Dillon
With ‘Prism’, JOHN BUTLER’s new studio album released just a few weeks ago, the Australian musician officially bids farewell to the JOHN BUTLER TRIO and returns to being a one-man band, even though the album was not produced or recorded single-handedly and the performances on the current autumn/winter 2025 tour are not solo performances, but feature JOHN BUTLER as part of a four-piece band.
