Stream of Passion, Sin7Sins (support)
STREAM OF PASSION entered the progressive / gothic metal scene with their successful debut album ‘Embrace The Storm’ in 2005. After many European tours and festival appearances resulting in a live DVD (Life in the Real World), but also big changes in the band’s line-up, they presented their second album ‘The Flame Within’ in 2009. The changed dynamics and interaction between the new band members are noticeable, but the unique sound of Mexican-born singer Marcella Bovio is still the core of the STREAM OF PASSION sound.

Fortarock: Immortal - Arch Enemy - Sacred Reich - Agnostic Front - Channel Zero - Paradise Lost - Parkway Drive - Dark Tranquillity - Triptykon - Gojira - Ghost - God Dethroned - Kvelertak - Valient Thorr
The heaviest day in the park - is how the organization would describe this young festival that debuted in 2009 with big names like Moonspell, Meshuggah and The Dillinger Escape plan. As one of the few open air metal festivals in the Netherlands, the event was a big hit. The second edition was an even greater success. With bands such as Bullet for My Valentine, Killswitch Engage and Suicidal Tendencies, this festival proves to be a keeper.

The debut album ‘Happiness’, following it up soon, too excelled the expectations and set the bars extremely high for everyone else and for the band themselves.

Take That, Pet Shop Boys
Up to that point in 1996 when TAKE THAT broke up and hundreds of thousands of teenagers lost their idols and nearly their minds, they’ve been the most famous representatives when it comes to boygroups. For years many of their fans had hopes they’d come back soon, but as times is fading so does hope.

Simple Minds
SIMPLE MINDS always have been like a chameleon when it comes to music. Once they started with punk music and as time went on they began experimenting with the emerging currents of Wave music, rock and pop. Those styles coined the band just as much as they coined the music.
