Within Temptation

The last summer's visit of famous Dutch gothic band was held in a medium-size club, and only thanks to MUSE gig same day it was not packed. Earlier this year, a new material from the band came out, called ‘Hydra’, and Helsinki was chosen to start off the global tour in the album's support.

The Exploding Boy & Spiral69

In the nice small Blue Shell club, a location with a 25 years history, the concerts took place on this evening.

The capacity of the venue is approximately 200. The Blue Shell offers a lot of nice concerts, poetry slams and diverse parties.

On 19th February, the famous renowned award-winning Japanese musician and composer KITARO came to St. Petersburg for a concert. His musical career started back in 1973 from being the part of FAR EAST FAMILY BAND. Then he decided to start a solo career and make a journey over South-Eastern Asia where he discovered a new life-approach which made him stick to the genre of new-age music, which aims at bringing the relaxation and optimistic feelings and usually includes a lot of exotic and folk motives.
