Gloria, Cologne, Germany26th February 2018
Slowdive & Dead Sea
After playing four impressive shows in Berlin, Hamburg at the Maifeld Derby Mannheim and the Way Back When-Festival in Dortmund in 2017, Shoegaze trailblazers SLOWDIVE decided to come back to Germany for two exclusive gigs in Cologne and Munich. The concert at the Gloria theatre was sold out weeks before - and the audience would be rewarded for their patience. Before the quintet from Reading (England) started their show people in the full-packed room got a sight at an interesting newcomer.

Alien Ant Farm & Special guests: Local H, Soil
This roster is certainly for those people with good memories. It’s been a while since the main act ALIEN ANT FARM has made some waves. In fact, for most people this goes back to the turn of the millennium, when the band covered MICHAEL JACKSON’s ‘Smooth Criminal’, and landed a massive hit during the legendary time when there was still music on MTV. All reminiscence aside, the band teamed up with two excellent support acts, which made it more than worthwhile to check them out.

Cradle of Filth & Moonspell
“Cryptoriana World Tour” - Vampyric Metal fans aren’t gonna just sit at home when a cult band like CRADLE OF FILTH are in town to bring the black, the sinister, and macabre live and loud on stage. The band’s latest release with the fancy title ‘Cryptoriana - The Seductiveness of Decay’ is CRADLE at its finest being “deeply infused with Victorian gothic horror.” In celebration of their 12th album of anti-hymns “UK’s most visionary and hellish outfit” is coming to haunt 14 German cities. On February 6th, it was Bochum’s turn. As a very special guest CRADLE OF FILTH are having Dark Metal heroes MOONSPELL from Portugal on this tour. MOONSPELL’s latest opus ‘1755’ is also their 12th record and an orchestral Metal masterpiece dealing with the destructive earthquake that hit their hometown Lisbon. Without any doubt, both bands made a “shitty Tuesday,” as Mr. Filth put it, a darkly delight.
