Markthalle, Hamburg, Germany
10th June 2014
Beastfest Festival with Huntress, Battlecross, Thy Art Is Murder, Miss May I, Coldrain, Suicide Silence, Crossfaith, Trivium

It is Tuesday after a long and hot Pentecost weekend, and the heat did not cool down until now. Metal-heads, who could not get enough of making party or who got still enough power for this event, floated into the Markthalle in Hamburg. This day, for the very first time, the Beastfest took place, the warm-up festival and little brother of the Elbriot festival taking place on 16th August. The concerts were alternately in the two rooms of the Markthalle. The beginning was at the MarX, the smaller of the two halls. The only sure about the time table was that the headliner TRIVIUM would play as the last band. Everything else was top secret and no one should know before on which stage which band was playing at which time.

BATTLECROSS recently signed with Metal Blade records. This trash metal band also left its mark in the scene touring with KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, IN FLAMES and HATEBREED.

Tanzbrunnen, Cologne, Germany
11th June 2014
The National & St. Vincent

At the Tanzbrunnen, there has to be silence sharp at 22:00. But before… before there can be noise, especially if it is as well sounding as the music of US-American Indie / Alternative institution THE NATIONAL from the Big Apple, being founded in 1999. Since Matt Berninger and his companions did not come alone to the metropolis at the Rhine River, beginning of the concert evening was very early to give the support act ST. VINCENT enough time for their set.
