Glückaufkampfbahn, Gelsenkirchen, Germany06th July 2006
Tokio Hotel
During the weeks of the FIFA football championships in Germany, many cities presented a special additional program. On the Glückaufkampfbahn in Gelsenkirchen several concerts of big and well-known stars took place (we reported about the Simple Minds concert). 6th of July was the day for all the young (and very young) ladies – their idols of Tokio Hotel should enter the stage on this Thursday evening. Some fans started to occupy the area in front of the entrance days before the concert (and left huge amounts of waste too) to be as close as possible to their stars. Because of heat and rain there were logically some emergencies too and the paramedics were kept quite busy.

Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam, The NetherlandsJuly 3rd 2006
John Fogerty
A year ago I went to see my father’s youth hero, John Fogerty, with him for the first time and he really impressed me a lot. Again I was really looking forward to seeing him again. A really prominent fact was that the audience was a mix of younger people and people who had followed him from the beginning. By this fact we can say that Fogerty still addresses all kind of ages, which can not be said of all artists from the ‘70s.

LKA Longhorn, Stuttgart, GermanyMay 26th 2006
Dark Fortress, Morphia, Eluveitie, Royal Anguish, Taketh
This Friday evening in the last days of May, the Longhorn (LKA) in Stuttgart had opened its doors to the 'Fear Dark Festival' tour. 'Fear Dark' is a Dutch metal label, which was founded in 1998 and began organizing metal festivals in 2002. This year, they came to the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland for six gigs in total, featuring 'Taketh' from Sweden, 'Royal Anguish' from the US, 'Eluveitie' from Switzerland and the Dutch band 'Morphia'. There were also different headliners during the small tour; this evening I looked forward to the German Black Metal guys from 'Dark Fortress', whose latest album release was praised in the press. I arrived at the venue shortly after the Longhorn had let the first visitors in, and I was surprised to see that there were only about 50 people inside. And it should remain like that until the fantastic performance of the folk metal-heads from 'Eluveitie'.
