Blancmange announce ‘Happy Families too...’ UK tour and album - November 2013
Re-imagined and re-recorded: the landmark 1982 debut is to be performed in full during a November 2013 tour, with the new album available exclusively at tour venues. For the first time ever, this tour will see Blancmange taking the album to the stage in its entirety. And, never one to stand still, Neil Arthur has given the songs that won such popular acclaim three decades ago a thoroughly 21st century spin, with a fresh look at an album that influenced so many. To offer fans a new experience, ‘Happy Families’ has been specially re-recorded by Blancmange and rechristened ‘Happy Families too...’ The new physical album, with updated artwork, will be available as a tour exclusive.

After an almost 7-year break, Melodic Metal masters SILENT FORCE, the band founded and led by guitar player Alex Beyrodt, finally returns with a new studio album. And its title („Rising From Ashes“) couldn’t be more appropriate, as many thought that the highly-acclaimed group had disbanded and would be gone forever, especially after Beyrodt’s success with his classic hard rock band Voodoo Circle and joining the line-up of both Primal Fear and Sinner. But now Silent Force are finally back – with “full force”.

The 7th BLACKFIELD FESTIVAL at Amphitheater Gelsenkirchen - Friday 20th + Saturday 21st + Sunday 22nd June 2014
The previous festivals have left an enthusiastic audience behind but also triggered great expectations concerning next year's line-up. Therefore our booking department had to do a really good job - and so they did! We are happy to announce 6 new bands for Blackfield 2014.
Last time we saw this exceptional band at Blackfield was in 2009. Then, they were one of the bands most often requested by the fans- and this has not changed at all! Thus we are delighted to welcome ASP as one of the headliners for next year. The next artist has coined the Dark Wave Scene with classics such as „Sleeper in Metropolis" and „Our Darkness" and finally became an icon herself. She is going to be here for the very first time and we look forward to presenting something very special: ANNE CLARK featuring herrB and her Electro Set.
