König-Pilsener Arena, Oberhausen, Germany
29th December 2007
On a Dark Winters Night: Van Canto, Tarot, Jesus on Extasy, Dope Stars Inc., Amorphis, Blind, Letzte Instanz, Nightwish
It was a fixed date for every Gothic and Metal Fan when the festival was guest in Oberhausen even though the information on the line-up were rather spare, the name NIGHTWISH was enough to make the hearts of Metal Fans leap for joy and more than once we saw people with NIGHTWISH shirts passing us by. The venue got fuller and fuller but unfortunately a truck with basic equipment for the stage had not arrived yet and so everyone was wondering when the show would finally start. After a long waiting time, the show finally started with a delay of two and a half hours...

THE HUMAN LEAGUE & ONETWO
THE HUMAN LEAGUE, legendary and groundbreaking Synth Pop pioneers of the 1980s, made their live reunion a couple of years ago and proved that their are still a force to be reckoned with. In winter 2007 they returned to the road with a pretty unusual concept: the ‘Dare!’ tour, named after THE HUMAN LEAGUE’s most critically acclaimed and most successful album from 1981! As unorthodox it is to focus a tour a 26 year old album, the fans truly looked forward to this special event.

POTHEAD
POTHEAD is a Grunge band from Berlin. The band's name derives from an Anglo-American slang expression to call marijuana consumers. The band was founded in 1993 by the two brothers Brad and Jeff Dope from Seattle. On a vacation in Europe at the beginning of the 1990s they got the idea to try their luck in Germany. So they settled in the German capital Berlin, where they met with some drummers until 1994 Sebastian Meyer joined the band.
