ASP & Chamber - 'Once in a lifetime'
Since Max (Chamber) was a choral boy of the “black butterfly” (ASP), a thick friendship exists between both groups. Out of this friendship the idea of the 'Once in a lifetime' tour was born. Both artists always stressed that this would be a really unique tour and therefore we had to be present. The completely sold out Centralstation proved that also others shared this thought. For the evening Max promised a collection of songs that hadn't heard for a long time - unusual works and new stuff.

Midge Ure & Christina Lux
What do you do when one of the heroes of the 80ies is coming to town? You go and visit the concert, no matter what happens. Best known as the voice of ‘Ultravox’ Midge Ure announced some acoustic concerts where he would perform alone only with his guitar. Sounds promising and great? It was! In fact one of the most intense concerts I have seen this year so far.

Fish and Anne Marie Helder
This was going to be a special night, not because it was the legendary Fish on stage with his return to childhood tour, but because this 2m tall man had turned 48 and celibrated his birthday together with a lot of fans in the nice and cozy venue in Rijssen. Those who were there found themselves lucky indeed.

ORKUS FESTIVAL - CLUB TOUR: Division Kent, Zeraphine, Funker Vogt, And One
The most popular German Synthie-Pop act ‘And One’ wanted to present a new album. Also ‘Funker Vogt’ started meanwhile new directions with the use of guitars. ‘Zeraphine’ found their way to Krefeld too and had new material to offer. Newcomer ‘Division Kent’ wanted to prove how good Switzerland and New York harmonize. All these bands came together to play new and older songs. Unfortunately not as many people as expected came along – not really a wonder on a Thursday night. Nevertheless it was a great and successful evening.

Suicide Commando, Insekt, This Morn’ Omnia, Painbastard
This evening’s line-up was something special with just four bands touring together. Headliner ‘Suicide Commando’ brought two more Belgium bands with them – the old-school EBM band ‘Insekt’ and the Ethno-Industrial band ‘This Morn’ Omnia’. Fourth band was the German Dark-Electro formation ‘Painbastard’; altogether a very promising combination. Especially I was looking forward ‘Insekt’ because I loved their show at WGT some years ago.
