SparkassenPark, Mönchengladbach, Germany14th June 2018
Hollywood Vampires & Special Guest: The Darkness
This June the wait was finally over. “One of the hottest acts of the summer,” the HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES, meaning Alice Cooper, Joe Perry and Johnny Depp, came to Germany to play five exclusive Rock shows. While Munich and Hamburg were already sold out, there were still tickets left for their only concert in North Rhine-Westphalia. Alice Cooper called out in a video: “What’s wrong with you people? Are you afraid of vampires?” Absolutely not! So, on 14th June, I hopped on the train to Mönchengladbach hoping to reach the SparkassenPark in time. My delay and having missed that night’s special guest, glam rockers THE DARKNESS from the U.K., bugged me a lot and so I kept on hurrying towards the stage. At quarter past eight, the HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES “rock-star-vaganza” was about to get started. Making my way to the open-air venue, which really didn’t seem that packed yet, I met fans having a good time with two Depp doubles dressed up perfectly as Captain Jack Sparrow. A lot of pictures were snapped.

Guns n’ Roses - “Not In This Lifetime” Tour 2018 - Special Guests: Manic Street Preachers, The Pink Slips
This June of 2018 definitely is “Rock Giant Month” in Germany. Two days after the FOO FIGHTERS played their only headline stop of their “Concrete and Gold” tour in Hamburg, Germany, the good old GUNS N’ ROSES played a show in the VELTINS-Arena “auf Schalke”. The legendary band embarked on a giant world tour in 2016 and made history, as it was the 4th highest-grossing tour of all-time by December 2017.

Foo Fighters - “Concrete and Gold World Tour” 2018 - Special Guests: The Kills, Wolf Alice
Rock Icons FOO FIGHTERS have decided to throw in a stop of their “Concrete and Gold” world tour in the beautiful city of Hamburg around their scheduled appearances on the ‘Rock am Ring’ and ‘Rock im Park’ festivals. 60,000 fans joined the Rock party of the year to see one of the greatest Rock bands live and open air. However, getting to the festival area represented quite a challenge, which had to be overcome by different means of public transport and walking for what felt like miles through the Volkspark.
