November 7th, 2009
Tattoofest Twente: Trail Of Tears, Izegrim, The Monolith Deathcult, Endymaeria, Stream Of Passion

A new metal festival is born. It’s organised by Metalfront Twente. It’s an organisation which promotes metal and hardrock music in the area. The intention is to make this festival a yearly returning event. Depending on how successful this first edition is going to be, the plan is to expand this festival to merely a metal- and tattoo convention with a larger variation in activities.

Lanxess Arena, Cologne, Germany
4th December 2009
Placebo, Silversun Pickups, Expatriate

I was more than excited to have the opportunity to see PLACEBO again. Last tour they played for about 7,000 people in Düsseldorf. For this tour, everything was much bigger and they played in front of more than 13,000 fans at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne. I left my home quite early on that Friday afternoon because I knew about lots of roadwork in the way and several traffic jams around Cologne. But still it took me 2.5 hours and finally I reached the arena just in time for the first support act of the evening, EXPATRIATE.

On Wednesday the 24th, I went to Osnabrück to enjoy one of my favourite bands, THE CRÜXSHADOWS, at their current tour. The concert took place in the venue "Lagerhalle", a pretty location in the heart of Osnabrück and when I arrived at the location, already some fans were present and looking at the merchandise table. Some minutes past 8 the evening was started by AYRIA.

Palladium, Cologne, Germany
1st December 2009
Motörhead, Der W., Black Stone Cherry

I arrived a little early at the venue this time, but even at that time the queue length was already insane. But what are approximately 7°C if you’ll get to spend an evening with MOTÖRHEAD soon, right? The patience of those people was admirable and when finally the doors did open the joy was boundless. But before the rock veterans would be entering the stage, there’s still some time left.
