Levellers - “Celebrating 30 Years Of Number 1 Album Zeitgeist” - Support: Pet Needs
The number one album ‘Zeitgeist’ by British band the LEVELLERS is now 30 years old. 30 years in which some of the songs on the album led a shadowy existence, at least at the concerts of the frequently touring band, and were rarely played until now. Because as good as ‘Zeitgeist’ may be, three years earlier, in 1992, the LEVELLERS released ‘Levelling The Land’, the undisputed highlight of their strong discography. Songs from this landmark album continue to dominate the British band’s set list to this day. So, it was about time to give the songs from ‘Zeitgeist’ the attention they deserve, live.

Feine Sahne Fischfilet - “Wir kommen in Fr!eden Tour 2025” - Special Guest: Focus.
In times of the so-called poly-crisis, it is refreshing to have a constant in life, which remains the same through whatever may come. The power of four chords, catchy melodies, and lots of beer thrown into the mix is such a thing. And nobody masters this combination better than FEINE SAHNE FISCHFILET.

Kulturfabrik Löseke, Hildesheim, Germany13th December 2025
Midwinter Festival with Waldkauz, Lautenfeyn, Perkún
Actually, the Midwinter Festival in Hildesheim should have taken place in June as a midsummer festival, but unfortunately had to be postponed. These are not easy times for bands and organizers, but on the second attempt it finally worked out. Hildesheim is - apart from the M’era Luna Festival, of course - not a stronghold for lovers of alternative music, but every now and then there are some really worthwhile events. In this case, the audience was mainly from the gothic, medieval and LARP scenes. Or simply people with a broad taste in music, like me.

Diorama - “A Substitute For Light Tour 2025/26” - Special Guests: Skuppin
December concerts always carry a certain weight. They arrive at the end of a year, when memories feel closer to the surface and expectations are quieter but deeper. For DIORAMA, this mid-December weekend marked the very beginning of the “A Substitute For Light” tour with the opening show in Frankfurt on December 12, followed immediately by Leipzig on December 13.
