VNV NATION - Special Gala Concert -

Already in 1990, the English-Irish Future Pop band VNV NATION was founded.

This year also their first complete album 'Advance & Follow' appeared. Later they founded their own label Anachron Sounds and could celebrate a lot of success.

• Hurricane Festival
• Southside Festival

Both, the Hurricane and Southside festival are going to take place from June 24 till 26, this year; the former in Eichenring Scheeßel and the latter in Neuhausen ob Eck, Germany. Recently, the third headliner has been confirmed: THE PRODIGY. Just at the beginning of this week, the sad passing of DAVID BOWIE has shown that memories are truly significant in music and experiencing of music. Particularly festivals offer us the opportunity to see a lot of great artists on a single weekend – like, for example, in 2004 when DAVID BOWIE played his last grandiose Germany concert at the Hurricane festival. Ultimately, it's great music icons such as DAVID BOWIE that give us reason to keep on going. So, the organizers of the Hurricane and Southside are happy having won THE PRODIGY as the third headliner for the coming summer.

Bi Nuu, Berlin, Germany
26th March 2016
Dark Spring Festival 2016 with Two Witches (FIN), Frank The Baptist (USA/GER), Golden Apes (GER), Soviet Soviet (IT), Brandenburg (RUS) and salvation AMP (GER)

Now, at the dawn of its 7th recurrence, it is more than validly to claim that Berlin’s Dark Spring Festival has been established by now as a Can’t-Miss-date for all lovers of sinister guitar sounds, be it Gothic Rock, Post Punk, Dark Wave or Shoegaze – a status well deserved over the years. What started as a one-time, offhanded idea by Berlin’s home-grown Dark Wave outfit GOLDEN APES, became a highly regarded annual attraction for people from all over Europe, appreciating the festival’s concept of finding and picking its requested artists beyond the mainstream’s usual suspects for offering a musical mixture of appropriate luminaries and interesting new names and projects alike.
