Opeth

OPETH from Sweden is surely one of the most admired and respected bands of the Metal genre in the last two decades, and it is a status they have truly deserved and for which they’ve worked hard. In spring 2010 that band is going to celebrate its 20th anniversary with a little tour around the globe. Of course the band won’t present their audience any regular set on that special occasion. During each of the shows, the band will perform 2 separate sets. In the first set they’ll play nothing less than the entire ‘Blackwater Park’ album; they’ve had their breakthrough with. A treat for every fan and presumable a once in a lifetime event! The second set of the evening will be a colourful bouquet of songs out of the entire OPETH back catalogue.

Die Art

German band DIE ART was founded in 1986 and is the follow-up to DIE ZUCHT which had a rather short-lived existence with two years in total. The band quickly caught the attention of a bigger audience and having their song ‘Chrome’ played on the radio might have helped their popularity grow as well. After the German Unification the band has released their debut full-length ‘Fear’ which remains to be the most successful album of DIE ART up until now. After a concert in Leipzig’s Moritzbastei in 2001 the band disbanded and left a back catalogue of nine album, various tapes and singles.

Wolfmother, The Black Angels

With their Australian rendition of Stoner Rock, their own, refreshing version of AC/DC, LED ZEPPELIN, DEEP PURPLE or BLACK SABBATH, the trio could even convince people who normally are not into guitar rock to rock out to the dusty sounds. WOLFMOTHER were certified double platinum, played at the Hurricane, Roskilde, Rock am Ring / Rock im Park and Live Earth festivals and were awarded with the Grammy for “Best Hard Rock Performance” amongst others. On the pinnacle of their success, bass player Chris Ross and drummer Myles Heskett announced their departure from the band over creative differences, leaving Stockdale all on his own.
