Peter Gabriel & Support: Jennie Abrahamson and Linnea Olsson

With his legendary ‘Back to front’ tour, celebrating the 25th anniversary of his ground-breaking ‘So’ album that was sold out in a minimum of time, PETER GABRIEL is coming back to Germany for five extra shows because of the great demand. With 15,000 visitors the concert in the Lanxess Arena, Cologne, was sold out as well. And to my great pleasure I had the chance to see this show.

Klokgebouw, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
4th May 2014
KoRn, Hacktivist, Black-bone

With impressive quotes such as “The Paradigm Shift will be remembered as KoRn's best album since 'Follow The Leader' (1998) and the rock record of 2013. It's their time again." (Artist Direct) and "Their happy reunion with founding guitarist Brian Head Welch has led to their best album in a decade" (Revolver), alternative metal band KORN will hit the stage again to promote their latest album ‘The Paradigm Shift’. With the return of Brian “Head” Welch, KORN returns to its original line-up. The band has been around for over 20 years now, their career seriously taking off in the nineties with the albums ‘Freak on a Leash’ and ‘Here to Stay’. Their recent albums are heavily influenced by electronic sounds, as heard on their last albums ‘Path of totality’ and ‘The paradigm shift’. Tonight’s show at Klokgebouw in Eindhoven is part of the European “The Paradigm Shift Tour”. Expectations are high!

Diary of Dreams & In Strict Confidence

I'm following the live shows of DIARY OF DREAMS for about over 10 years now and every time I'm looking forward to the next one when they have released a new album. Whatever happened with the last album when they have played at the FZW in Dortmund in the smallest of both rooms in there for just a few hundred people... This time with more self-esteem they booked the Zeche in Bochum which turned out to be the perfect place and I was quiet happy for them to see such a big audience. A TV team from the WDR channel interviewed some fans before the show started.

Turock, Essen, Germany
2nd May 2014
Mustasch and Daily Thompson

Again it`s time to pay a visit to the good old Turock in Essen, the support is not known until now but most of the visitors don’t care because MUSTASCH is reason enough to be excited about. For everyone that already knows the band’s recent masterpiece ‘Thank you for the Demon’ this was an opportunity to party hard on par with the band. The familiar atmosphere at the Turock was a great help for the first show of MUSTASCH’s current tour.

Dredg - El Cielo

US American band DREDG is counting to the most progressive powers in alternative music for one and a half decade now. After an extensive world tour accompanying the release of their latest album, ‘Chuckles And Mr. Squeezy’, the band now offers something very special for their fans. In the course of the German concerts in April and May, the band performs both album classics, 2002 ‘El Cielo’ and 2005 ‘Catch Without Arms’ in full length. Any concert is characterized by one of the albums. So, for example, the band performed in Frankfurt ‘El Cielo’ while Munich stood in sign of ‘Catch Without Arms’. For Cologne, the third station on tour, there were two shows scheduled, on concert per album. The shows in Cologne were both sold-out.
