Beast In Black - “From Hell With Love” Tour - Support: Turmion Kätilöt

Munich on a Friday night - a sold-out Backstage, I had braced myself for the worst, but everything went really smooth. Nearly three months ago I saw BEAST IN BLACK live for the first time, as support for NIGHTWISH in Helsinki; when they announced they would do their first headliner tour in 2019 I got really excited and as soon as they announced the tour-data, I got my ticket.

Sonata Arctica - “Acoustic Adventures”

SONATA ARCTICA is a “very Finnish” Metal band from a small town next to Polar circle, Kemi. Their trademarks are Melodic Power Metal (albeit the band does not like this “genre label”), deeply emotional ballads and complete negligence to standard all-black outfits by the front man Toni Kakko, who usually is dressed up more like a country singer. Thanks to solid composing skills and great melodies, the band has a strong worldwide following.

Bastille, Lewis Capaldi

BASTILLE in Luxembourg? Yes, that attracts people! The British were in the Grand Duchy on Friday for the fourth time and made a lasting impression like back in 2017. As support for their “Still Avoiding Tomorrow” Tour the British brought along the likeable newcomer LEWIS CAPALDI, who is currently attracting attention with the single ‘Someone you loved’.

Godsmack - “When Legends Rise” European Tour 2018 - Special Guests: Like A Storm

Finally, after a delay of almost four months, the Bostonian heavyweights of the Alternative Metal scene, GODSMACK, were coming to town for their tour promoting their latest album, ‘When legends rise’. Their original tour dates in November had to be cancelled because the bands’ guitarist Tony Rombola was hit with a personal tragedy. However, GODSMACK’s management was able to reschedule the tour dates pretty quickly and to even squeeze in an extra show in Cologne (which also sold out in a heartbeat), so the local fans were more than compensated for their wait time.

Turbinenhalle, Oberhausen, Germany
6th March 2019
Mike Shinoda & Don Broco

The light rain sets off as we drive into the parking lot of the Turbinenhalle. Quickly we found a parking space, passed a really, really long queue and worked forward to the press entrance where we are welcomed very friendly. The hall quickly fills up and the queue at the toilets is sometimes more populated than the area in front of the stage first. But that changes quickly and you notice from the beginning that the evening is very emotional. And already the light goes out for the support act...
