Halle Gartlage, Osnabrück, Germany14th November 2009
Gotthard & Europe
GOTTHARD & EUROPE came to Osnabrück. That fact caused countless people from all directions to the city. Even some fans from Japan and the UK had come, especially for GOTTHARD. The venue was packed accordingly and it started getting really tight in the hall. But finally the doors opened and everyone tried to secure the best spot for themselves not to miss anything when both bands would lay down a memorable show.

Matrix, Bochum, Germany8th November 2009
Primal Fear, Brainstorm
When I reached the Matrix club, doors still were closed with not too many people waiting in front of them to get in. This was going to change rapidly just a few moments later. The queue got longer and longer with fans of every age wanting to see these two Metal heavyweights and the mentioned bands had prepared something that would satisfy them all.

Kulturfabrik, Krefeld, Germany12th November 2009
In The Nursery
The roots of the family business of the twin brothers Nigel and Klive Humberstone extend back to a time when New Wave was on the lead. IN THE NURSERY started with rough and experimental tracks causing a stir in Britain’s blooming Industrial scene. Dark pathos-filled synth sounds combined with crunchy military drums and a powerful rhythm foundation made up the trademark sound. Later on, bombastic, soundtrack-like soundscapes were increasingly woven into it.

Ethias Arena, Hasselt, Belgium1st November 2009
Sinner’s Day 2009: Front 242, The Human League, Gary Numan, Gang of Four, Anne Clark, The Bollock Brothers, Lydia Lunch, The Neon Judgement
It is Sunday, 1st November 2009. At noon, the weather is still nice, not exactly what you expect this time of year, but we’ll soon forget all about the weather as we make our way to the Ethias Arena in Hasselt for the first edition of Sinners Day, an indoor New Wave festival. “Sinners Day on All Saints Day”! There’s no doubt a lot of thought had been put into that association. The Ethias arena is a convenient venue located on the outer ring road with a big parking lot and a good infrastructure. The arena itself is contained within the Grenslandhallen, which made for an all in-door concept which included a Camden market and a Sinner’s Café. The arena has one stage but provides space for both people who prefer to stand and those who like to enjoy the show while sitting.
