Folks, I’m honestly too old for this shit… Or maybe not just yet? After making an early exit from the Tanzbrunnen yesterday evening, I actually feel way more with it today. Deciding to head home a bit earlier and snag an extra hour or two of sleep was definitely the right move.

Folks, I’m definitely too old for that shit... And yet - “I’m gonna go to the end of the world - come on, come on - to the end of the world - come on, come on - to the end of the world...”. Those lines are still echoing in my head after Amphi-Saturday, and I’ve got a feeling they’ll be putting a blissed-out smile on my face for quite a while. But first things first, but not necessarily in that order.

Club Volta, Cologne, Germany18th July 2025
Echoes of Rebellion 2025 with Ist Ist, Isaac Howlett, Sydney Valette, Beyond Border and The Brute
Folks, I’m too old for this shit! Three days, two festivals, over 15 bands on the credit side, 43 hours on my feet and far too little sleep. Next year… well, you know how it goes. Of course I’ll be doing it all over again. If the Echoes of Rebellion crew can step back into the ring, then so can I.

Set against the cinematic backdrop of Bolkow Castle and the adjacent park, the 2025 edition once again drew dark souls from all over Europe and beyond.
