Shinedown, Halestorm, Liberty Lies

Although I could hardly imagine the concert would be sold out on a Monday night, there was a big line outside the venue. Listening to the buzz of fans around me, I learned that some of them didn’t come to see headliner SHINEDOWN, but drove all the way specifically for HALESTORM.

It was fucking cold on that February evening, when DREAM THEATER were calling to Düsseldorf. Many fans followed the call and big jams before entering finally the parking were proof of the popularity of the band. Together with label mates PERIPHERY, the band was caring for an evening of fine progressive music.
