Columbiahalle, Berlin, Germany
Date: 27th March 2025
Knocked Loose - European Tour 2025 - Support: Pest Control, Harm’s Way, Basement

The Hardcore scene had been eagerly awaiting this moment: KNOCKED LOOSE made a stop in Berlin on their European tour, delivering an electrifying performance at the Columbiahalle. With them were PEST CONTROL, HARM’S WAY, and BASEMENT, who were set to warm up the crowd. Unfortunately, due to a BVG strike, public transport in Berlin was in chaos, meaning I arrived well into the main act’s set, more than double the usual travel time. However, by the time I got to the venue, the atmosphere was already heating up, and the crowd was buzzing with excitement for the main act.

Snowdrops, winter aconites, crocuses, and hazel are in full bloom. Temperatures are rising. Bright sunshine, 18°C. It’s spring - time for E-tropolis. Many kick off the electronic music weekend on Friday night at the E-tropolis Pre-Party. Sven Friedrich (SOLAR FAKE, ZERAPHINE), Krischan Jan-Eric Wesenberg (ROTERSAND, FUTURE LIED TO US), JEANNY (Amphi Festival), and MSTH (ElectronicDanceArt) were spinning tunes from 10 PM. We, on the other hand, start our magical but also tiring festival visit on Saturday noon.

15th March 2025
Eonly Festival 14 with De/Vision, Cat Rapes Dog, In Strict Confidence (Vintage Show), Aesthetic Perfection (Old School Electronic Set), Leæther Strip (Old School Show), Rotersand, No Sleep By The Machine, Accessory, AD:keY, Zweite Jugend, Vogon Poetry and Frequen-C / TC75

We’re still processing the impressions from yesterday’s Eonly Warm-Up, even after a few hours of sleep. After a refreshing shower and a hearty breakfast, we head back to the Stadtbad around noon. When we arrive just before half past twelve, a small group of music enthusiasts has already gathered, including the usual suspects from yesterday, who we greet warmly. The grill is fired up, and some guests are already enjoying food from the stand by the entrance. Others pass the time with lively conversations. The second group for today’s Stadtbad tour is also waiting to get started. What’s that about a Stadtbad tour? If you’re curious, just check out our article from yesterday’s Warm-Up.

Skunk Anansie & Support: So Good

SKUNK ANANSIE are back in Germany for five concerts! 30 years after their founding and over eight years since their last studio album, fans can once again look forward to new music and a European tour! When SKUNK ANANSIE formed in London in 1994, the music scene was dominated by Britpop - driven by white men with guitars. However, the four band members - Deborah “Skin” Dyer, Martin “Ace” Kent, Richard “Cass” Lewis, and Robbie - stood out: as one of the first mixed-race bands, they drew attention right from the start. As support, “Bratpop” band SO GOOD was accompanying the tour.
