Midge Ure & Steve Rodgers

Already last year, MIDGE URE was around to present an acoustic set. Only him and his guitar, presenting purely acoustic versions of ULTRAVOX evergreens and original material. Of course in Oberhausen this year, he presented such ULTRAVOX classics as 'Vienna' or ‘dancing with Tears in my Eyes’ as also lots of pieces from his solo works, as 'If I Was' or 'Breathe'. But before you could enjoy Midge himself, the evening was started with an acoustic performance of Steve Rodgers.

Tarja & Scala Mercalli

Her current album is the centre of this year’s autumn tour of singer Tarja Turunen. During eight shows in Germany, she’ll present the album to her audience. The show in Dortmund was far from being sold-out. I had expected more interest in the solo work of Tarja, but sadly the venue was half filled only. Anyway, the people being present should be rewarded with a great concert…

Feuerengel - A tribute to Rammstein

FEUERENGEL is a German tribute band to RAMMSTEIN. After a RAMMSTEIN concert in 1997, Boris, +hors+en, Farp, Daniel, Holger and X-oph decided to form a cover band. Understanding that the special show elements with all these different kind of fireworks are very important, they worked on sticking as much to the original as possible. Therefore they have hired a pyrotechnician for their shows. And they are doing their job as a cover band with so much success that they were even invited to a party of RAMMSTEIN and their guests in 1998 and gathered a lot of positive media attention. Thus it is no wonder that they were headlining several open- air festivals in Germany and the Netherlands. At the request of RAMMSTEIN they performed in 2005 again for them. http://www.feuerengel.de / https://www.facebook.com/feuerengelmusic

The venue has a capacity for 1,500 people now.
