Within Temptation - “Bleed Out Tour 2024” - Support: Annisokay

The Dutch band WITHIN TEMPTATION visited Germany in the course of their “Bleed Out Tour” and made a stop at the Palladium in Cologne. The co-founders of Symphonic Rock, led by singer Sharon den Adel, performed many songs from their 2023 album of the same name on their tour 2024. BLIND8 and ANNISOKAY were announced as support acts, but unfortunately the Ukrainians from BLIND8 were unable to perform that night, so ANNISOKAY took over the first gig.

Apocalyptica - “Plays Metallica Vol. 2 Tour 2024/2025” - Support: The Raven Age

When the founding members of APOCALYPTICA (Eicca Toppinen, Paavo Lötjönen, Max Lilja and Antero Manninen) met at the Finnish Sibelius Academy in Helsinki in the 90s and decided to play tracks by their favourite band METALLICA on the classical music instrument cello and also to use four pieces from METALLICA’s repertoire as an exam at the academy, the young Finns certainly didn’t think that this flash of inspiration would still stand them in good stead 28 years later. But in 2024, the follow-up to the band’s debut album was finally released. The album bears the obvious name “Plays Metallica Vol. 2” and forms the backbone of the current tour, on which the band is focusing exclusively on the US metal band’s material.

Beartooth - “UK EU Tour 2024” - Special Guests: Landmvrks, Polaris

Our favourite Metalcore band BEARTOOTH from Columbus, OH seems to be a roll. They just released their latest album ‘The Surface’ a year ago and have been touring relentlessly ever since. They started out in the US in spring with THE PLOT IN YOU, INVENT ANIMATE and SLEEP THEORY, came over to Europe for a ton of summer festivals (including Rock am Ring / Rock im Park), and now finally they have arrived for their European tour with LANDMVRKS and POLARIS. As the first gig sold-out in no time in the Palladium, it was fortunate that the band managed to squeeze in a second show a day later, which also sold out, making it the largest headliner shows for BEARTOOTH in Europe.
