Freilichtbühne Killesberg, Stuttgart, Germany10th July 2008
Loreena McKennitt
This summer evening was just the perfect time for a LOREENA McKENNITT concert. The weather was nice and enjoyable, and a warm sunlight lay all over the park, in the middle of which LOREENA McKENNITT was going to appear. Quite a lot of people of all kinds and ages had made their way to the Freilichtbühne Killesberg, which is some sort of amphitheatre surrounded by the remnants of a forest. The audience seemed to be in a relaxed, though expectant mood, and if one ignored the few signs of modern civilization, one could easily feel taken back to some ancient, magical times.

Tanzbrunnen, Cologne, Germany19th to 20th July 2008
Amphi Festival Day 2 Theatre Stage: Spiritual Front, Spectra*Paris, Cinema Strange, Lacrimas Profundere, Soko Friedhof, Clan of Xymox, Eisbrecher, Diary of Dreams, Die Krupps - the final option
The second day at the Theatre Stage presented good old Goth music - different to the first day where mostly electronic music was on the schedule. So, you could enjoy bands like CLAN OF XYMOX or the energetic show of DIARY OF DREAMS. A highlight at the very end of the festival was surely the show of DIE KRUPPS before people could celebrate a little more at the after show party.

Tanzbrunnen, Cologne, Germany19th to 20th July 2008
Amphi Festival Day 2 Main Stage: Mediaeval Babes, The Lovecrave, Letzte Instanz, Das Ich, L´Âme Immortelle, Suicide Commando, Project Pitchfork, And One
The second festival day started a lot cooler than the first one and we were wondering if it would stay at least dry during the day. At the end, we had to fight a few short showers, but nothing too long luckily and so, people could enjoy another festival day. The day on the main stage offered a lot of different styles starting with MEDIEVAL BABES presenting some Celt music over the harsh electro of SUICIDE COMMANDO to the poppy tunes of AND ONE. [DV]

“Bedank U wel!”
Welcome to Belgium, the heart of Western Europe and the country with the most international festivals. Not just regarding the performing bands, but also in respect to the many different tongues you hear there. The Gothic Festival in Waregem is surely no exception here - and just as a side note, the situation described above truly happened at one of the catering stalls at the festival site.
