Pulp, Duisburg, Germany4th February 2010
Peter Heppner & Band, Melotron
Finally, no snow on the streets anymore! Still the possibilities to get to Duisburg were limited to trains if you weren’t in the lucky position of having someone to drive you, or even drive yourself. So I arrived quite early at the venue and a big part of the remaining time was spend with waiting, luckily not alone for the entire time. Our waiting was worth the while, that’s what I can say at this point already.

Globen, Stockholm, Sweden.31st January 2010
Depeche Mode & Nitzer Ebb
Swedish winter can be a bit overwhelming but it was quite some time since we got this much snow and this cold weather with temperatures -15 to -20 degrees. In this case I believe the temperature landed around -15 and then there is a limit of how long you can manage to stand and wait outside of a venue no matter what band is playing.

Hypocrisy, Survivors Zero, Failed Perfection
A new album regularly also means that a tour is going to follow where the album’s being extensively supported. Now that time has come for the newest HYPOCRISY record ‘A Taste of Extreme Divinity’ and the band promised their fans a more than proper piece of Death Metal, a matured programme reflecting their development.

Friedrich-Ebert-Halle, Ludwigshafen, Germany21th January 2010
Manowar, Holyhell & Metalforce
Bringing along METALFORCE and HOLYHELL, MANOWAR, self declared “Gods of Metal”, graced Ludwigshafen with their presence... louder than necessary, but well – when has metal been a quiet thing? Those who had ear protection surely had a fun time, although even when MANOWAR started playing, the hall was far from being full. But the show was more than worth being there.

The Gathering & Autumn
The name of the band THE GATHERING became for many fans of alternative rock the embodiment of Dutch rock scene, the embodiment of unique female vocal combined with expressive music. The last two years were surely not the easiest years for the band with the departure of the vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen, the search for the new vocalist and the new album, which at least had to hold the standard and to fulfil the expectations of the fans. The band passed the challenges with flying colours and presents its performance as good as before. On their tour the band is supported by their fellow countrymen AUTUMN, sharing very similar history and similar challenges, they had to go through.
