Park Brakkenstein, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
2nd July 2011
Fortarock Festival Part II: Parkway Drive, Ghost, Dark Tranquility, Triptykon, Channel Zero

After two previous successful editions, the third Fortarock festival was taking place at Park Brakkenstein in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. As every year, I’m surprised (and very pleased!) to see how the organisation managed to create a line-up of well-known names, both old and new. Fortarock treats its audience to a lot of different flavours in the big pool of metal and hard rock. All there was left to wish for was a day without rain and some quick feet to keep up with the tight schedule. Fortarock is a one-day festival with two stages, 14 bands (KVELERTAK – VALIENT THORR – GOD DETHRONED - AGNOSTIC FRONT – GOJIRA – PARKWAY DRIVE – GHOST – DARK TRANQUILITY - TRIPTYKON – CHANNEL ZERO – PARADISE LOST – SACRED REICH – IMMORTAL – ARCH ENEMY) and no break in between.

Castle Broich, Mülheim, Germany
1st to 2nd July 2011
Castle Rock Festival 2011 Day 2: Oomph!, Megaherz, Crematory, Van Canto, Lord of the Lost, Golden Apes, Stahlmann

While we were sweating during the previous year’s Castle Rock, it was rather chilly this time with temperatures going down below 15°C at the evening. But luckily it stayed dry, the sun was breaking through the clouds and we were prepared for the second festival day having OOMPH! as headlining act. But before the band around singer Dero entered the stage, we hat six more or less fantastic bands entertaining the audience, opener being STAHLMANN.
