Villapark, Regensburg, Germany31st July 2009
Corvus Corax, Zwielicht
On this sunny, warm Friday evening, it was a joy to me to make my way to the Villapark Festival in Regensburg. The festival area is situated next to the Danube and consists of an old royal villa which looks rather like a castle with its towers and a great park. Would be the perfect location for bands like Corvus Corax and Zwielicht...

Tanzbrunnen, Cologne, Germany18th & 19th July 2009
Amphi Festival 2009 Day 2 Theater: Camouflage, The Gathering, KMFDM, Henke, Qntal, Omnia, Jesus On Extasy, The Other, Rosa Crvx
Different than planned, the program of the second stage has been transferred to the Theater stage for the already known reasons. Luckily, entrance into the Theater went smooth, but very soon there was a big delay in the schedule not only caused by two musicians of QNTAL who were stuck into traffic jams. So, at the end, KMFDM and FRONT 242 were playing at the same time - different than planned - much to the dislike of many attendees. With the show of CAMOUFLAGE, the festival found a very good end anyway.

Expo, Waregem, Belgium24th - 26th July 2009
Gothic Festival 2009 Day 2: DAF, Blutengel, The Klinik, Diorama, Henke, Winterkälte, The Birthday Massacre, Spiritual Front, Lacrimas Profundere, Monolith, Miss Construction, XMH
After we had celebrated quite a little during the night before, we were quite tired when we arrived at the festival area at around twelve. Thanks to the best merch guys ever (you know who you are) we got some good and strong coffee to wake up and so we were perfectly prepared for the bands to come during the day. Personnel highlights for me were THE KLINIK, DIORAMA, BIRTHDAY MASSACRE and DAF.

Gothic Festival 2009 Day 3: Gary Numan, IAMX, Apoptygma Berzerk, Welle:Erdball, Hocico, Specimen, Client, IC 434, Scary Bitches, Hedera Helix, Lizard Smile, Curse of the Vampire
Today was the day when I finally should see GARY NUMAN, someone I always missed and never had seen on stage before. So, I was looking very much forward the very last band of the festival. But of course, this day had much more to offer… IAMX, APOPTYGMA BERZERK with the last time featuring Geir Bratland on keys, WELLE:ERDBALL or HOCICO. With several Goth bands, there was also something for the lovers of more guitar influenced music.

Hultsfred, Sweden 18th July 2009
Sonisphere Festival 2009: Dead by April, Adept, The International Noise Conspiracy, Lamb of God, Cradle of Filth, Mastodon, The Hives, Metallica
The touring Sonisphere festival landed in Hultsfred, Sweden on Saturday the 16th of July on what at first looked like to be a sunny and really warm day - but we all know how deceiving the Swedish summer can be and usually are. MySpace users from more than 80 countries was involved with recommending totally 1,500 bands, 20 finalist bands were chosen and then the MySpace users voted on which band was the most worthy of winning the price and play on the Sonisphere festival with METALLICA. ADEPT won and they were of course very happy with so many people discovering them and their music and that so many people had voted on them.
