Amphitheater, Gelsenkirchen, Germany
9th September 2016
Chemical Brothers & James Holroyd

I remember being twenty, driving my car on a sunny summer day, ‘Galvanize’ blasting from my speakers. These are awesome memories and tonight, I will revive them at the Amphitheater Gelsenkirchen, a beautiful open air venue where THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS are going to play their only concert in Germany. The weather is great, as is the atmosphere as the sun is slowly setting on this warm September evening that starts with a set by the supporting DJ JAMES HOLROYD.

Fortress Josefov, Jaromer, Czech Republic
10th to 13th August 2016
Brutal Assault Festival Day 1: Jagermeister stage: Abbath (NO), Dying Fetus (US) / Metalshop stage: Chelsea Wolfe (US), Mastodon (US) / Metalgate stage: Slagmaur (NO), Shining (SE) / Oriental stage: Mutoid Man (US), King Dude (US)

Four days, four stages and 110 bands are waiting! I just landed to Prague airport, and tested how to squeeze tent, two sleeping bags, camera equipment and personal stuff into the hand luggage. In order to proof that Brutal Assault Festival is the best European money/ value festival, here are some numbers to consider: From Prague to Jaromer (including metro, bus and train, one direction) total cost is 150 CZK (6 EUR). Four-day festival pass is 80 EUR (first limited edition 64 EUR), and Czech beer is only 1 EUR! Compare it with the number of great bands performing at brutally beautiful Fortress Josefov, and you will agree, one of the best events of the year can start!

During this summer full of festivals, KITE stop in Oberhausen to play a concert at the Zentrum Altenberg. This show marks yet another first for me and I am extremely excited and cannot wait to see them. The venue is a small club, its industrial atmosphere perfectly fitting the dark, melodic, and passionate performance I am looking eagerly forward to. I have a feeling that this will be a most remarkable night.
