The Swedish band AVATAR has since its start 2001 grown to a melodic Death Metal formation of respectable size. Frontman Johannes Eckerström rules the stage with his clownesque make-up and tireless moves. He can perhaps best be described as a combination of Alice Cooper and Batman’s Joker.

Kulttempel, Oberhausen, Germany
10th March 2018
Gary Numan & Nightmare Air

A jam-packed and sold-out Kulttempel welcomed Mr. GARY NUMAN to Oberhausen, Germany, on 10th March. Under the banner of “Savage” the unaging electro pop pioneer, who celebrated his 60th birthday two days ago, and his pals wander around Europe bringing the widely celebrated ‘Songs of the Broken World’ to the stage. Live, loud, and wild. About 700 Numanoids and nomads came together for a captivating and electrifying Numan show full of passion, which seemed nostalgic and futuristic at the same time. His work is indeed timeless, and what’s more, the legendary artist is currently back at his best. As the wickedly good show in Oberhausen showed us, desert storm Numan easily sweeps people off their feet not only on his latest record, but also live. What a blast - hats off!

Palladium, Cologne, Germany
5th March 2018
Franz Ferdinand & Leoniden

Bad luck for FRANZ FERDINAND: The only NRW-concert on their short German tour took place on the date when THE KILLERS filled the nearby Lanxess Arena with more than 12,000 people. To make things even worse, most successful German Rap act K.I.Z. sold out the E-Werk on the opposite site. When we entered the Palladium at 7.30 PM, the venue was shockingly empty… but that’s not the end of the story…
