Gloria, Cologne, Germany
30th September 2015
Peter Heppner – Acoustic

Once again PETER HEPPNER was touring with his acoustic set. The last show of this tour took place at the beautiful Gloria, a cinema with a rich tradition, formerly used as a cinema and theatre. Nowadays parties and concerts take also place. The seated show was nearly sold out. Again he was supported by his approved team of Dirk Riegner (piano, keyboards), Carsten Klatte (acoustic guitar) and Achim Färber (drums)

Bradford University, Bradford, United Kingdom
28th to 30th August 2015
Infest 2015 with Project Pitchfork, mind.in.a.box, L’âme Immortelle, Empirion, Monolith, Klangstabil, Cocksure, Syrian, BhamBhamHara, Chant, Ethan Fawkes, readjust, Mechanical Cabaret, D-K-A-G, AlterRed, Ctrl Alt Del

Infest 2015 was my first concert in the UK. It felt more like going to a comfortable all-weekend nightclub more than an actual concert. All modern conveniences were readily available with very reasonably priced student accommodation. The concerts itself were walking distance from the student accommodation which made it a bit luxurious.

When we woke up on that Sunday morning looking out the window we thought: Oh my god, this will be a wet day! It was raining, and raining. Luckily it stayed rather dry during the whole day and only UMBRA ET IMAGO had to fight the rain. Right in time for the first band, WEAK, opening the main stage, we were ready to start the last festival day with fulminant headliner PROJECT PITCHFORK.

During the first festival day, the weather god was really nice to us. Not so nice he was at the second day when it was pouring down during the show of WHISPERS IN THE SHADOW. Besides, the day was quite cold too. Nevertheless it offered some of my absolute festival favourites, like the shows of KITE or HENRIC DE LA COUR. Another surprise was the very first show of the day, delivered by TELEMARK. But of course the day had much more to offer…
