Palladium, Cologne, Germany1st December 2025
The Hives - “The Hives Forever Forever The Hives - World Tour 2025” - Support: Spiritual Cramp, Yard Act
On a cold December night in Cologne, the Palladium found itself transformed into a pressure chamber of sweat, riffs, and beautifully unhinged showmanship. THE HIVES, long regarded as one of Rock’n’Roll’s most reliable detonators, arrived not merely to promote a new album but to reaffirm - yet again - their rule as the world’s most gleefully chaotic live band.

Weststadthalle, Essen, Germany29th November 2025
Obsidian Echoes 2025 with Lebanon Hanover, Cold Cave, Ultra Sunn, Selofan, Rue Oberkampf, Ash Code & Soft Analog
The inaugural Obsidian Echoes Festival opened the doors of the Weststadthalle to a crowd of roughly 600 - 700 darkly dressed enthusiasts, ready for a marathon of Darkwave, Post Punk and New Wave. Although doors opened a good thirty minutes later than advertised, any impatience quickly dissolved once the night’s atmosphere settled in - a carefully curated blend of nostalgia and modern electronics, where icy minimalism met warm synth-driven melancholy.

KRAFTWERK - a band who doesn’t needs an introduction at all. KRAFTWERK was founded in Düsseldorf in the 1970s by Florian Schneider and Ralf Hütter. In the beginning, they played experimental Rock music and discovered electronic instruments, which they even developed and built themselves in their legendary Kling-Klang studio.

Täubchenthal, Leipzig, Germany22nd November 2025
Diary of Dreams & Special Guest: Auger
On 31st October, DIARY OF DREAMS released their latest EP ‘Dead End Dreams‘. The band has been on tour since 14th November, and I already had the pleasure of attending the show in Frankfurt last Sunday. So I had a fair idea of what to expect in Leipzig today, and my anticipation for this evening in the lovely Täubchenthal was accordingly high. In the end, though, I look back on the night with somewhat mixed feelings. But first things first, but not necessarily in that order.

Some evenings arrive with the quiet promise of something extraordinary, and the night of 21st November in Dresden was exactly that - a convergence of two distinct musical worlds sharing one stage, one atmosphere, one charged and expectant crowd.
