Rock im Park Day 1 with Ecca Vandal, The Pretty Reckless, Bilmuri, Three Days Grace, Bury Tomorrow, Landmvrks, Electric Callboy, Thornhill

Finally, with the advent of June, the highly coveted pilgrimage to the Zeppelinfeld could start, converting the storied city of Nuremberg with Rock Im Park into the less muddy, fairly weathered twin of storied festival behemoth Rock Am Ring. And the hype knows no bounds. After the anniversary editions last year broke all records in terms of the number of bands playing and attendance, this year did not feel like a downshift.

The Barbican Centre is built upon a 35 acre site that was bombed to smithereens by the Germans in WW2. The current Brutalist structure replaced all the building that were part of a bustling cloth and rag trade, what’s there now is an art and concert venue, multi layered housing and futurist verandas and terraces that over time have been imbue with a charm all of its own. Tonight James - Jim - Mij - MIDGE URE, prolific songwriter and lead singer of 80s band ULTRAVOX plays the London leg of his UK tour playing a mixture of newer material along with old hits for the old New Romantics in the audience.
