The press announcement for this tour said following: “Featuring a setlist from their career-defining early decades and the promise of their biggest show ever!” Well, if the band could keep the promise, we were keen to find out last Friday in Gelsenkirchen where MAIDEN played in front of more than 53,000 fans.

AC/DC - “Porwer Up Tour” Europe 2025 - Special Guest: The Pretty Reckless

“These guys are still touring?” This incredulous question from an average person who does not compulsively follow the music scene illustrates the conundrum of the evening: What to expect from a band made up of people way past retirement age, where only one member is still from the original formation from back in 1973, when they started out to conquer the world?

Sparks - “Mad Tour 2025”

The two brothers Ron and Russell Mael founded the band SPARKS in the 70s. Despite their musical diversity, from Glam Rock to the Synth sound of the 80s to today’s Electro sound with dynamic beats, the SPARKS have retained their own unmistakable sound. As more visitors than planned wanted to see the SPARKS, the venue was moved from Cologne's Club Gloria to the Live Music Hall, also located in Cologne. There, the SPARKS presented their sixteenth album Mad! https://allsparks.com / https://www.facebook.com/sparksofficial

Corporation Club, Scarborough, UK
14th June 2025
The Glass House Museum & Special Guests: Iamimperfect, Deathtrippers

Scarborough may be best known for its sea air, castle and the donkeys on the beach (I did see some), but this weekend it played host to something far darker. The Corporation Club transformed into a haven for black-clad revellers as part of a two-day gothic festival Resurrection Hell N Back featuring a Friday club night with DJ Victor Helsing and a Saturday showcase of live bands: IAMIMPERFECT, DEATHTRIPPERS and THE GLASS HOUSE MUSEUM.
