In this week, promoters experienced quite a ticket run. Only about 600 tickets are left in the festival shop. Again for explanation and to keep you up to date regarding the ROCKHARZ:

2009 was the first year at the airport Ballenstedt. In that year we had to fight with less fans due to our move. The weather was bad, too, so the start into a new ROCKHARZ chapter was a little hard. But the beauty and goodness of our new area seemed to get around fast, as we caught up with visitors in 2010 and made history when ROCKHARZ 2011 was the best visited until then. In 2012, we have grown similarly and thus limited the amount of 3-day-tickets now. ROCKHARZ 2012 takes place from 12th to 14th of July.

Johan van Roy, Belgian Hellectro-pioneer and co-founder of the entire genre, returns with a strictly limited new single! On “Attention Whore”, Suicide Commando not only take a cynical dig at the egomania prevalent in the scene, but have also produced a classic club burner par excellence. Harsh shouts meet thudding club beats and bass-laden electronic attacks in a fulminant floor filler that stands in the best tradition of the band’s hit tracks. The b-side “Evacuate” shows Suicide Commando from an altogether different side with minimalist technoid sounds that are likely to win the group an audience in other scenes as well. Six remixes, including big names like Funker Vogt, Nachtmahr or X-RX, make this CD-single a disco-inferno of epic proportions and the John Lord Fonda Remix of “Evacuate” should be able to create a buzz in the Techno club circuit, as well.
