8th & 9th August 2009
M’era Luna 2009 Day 1 Hangar Stage: De/Vision, Zeraphine, Welle:Erdball, Untoten, Nachtmahr, Star Industry, Jesus on Extasy, Lola Angst, Faderhead, Heimataerde
Of course, the M’era Luna did not only offer a varied program on the main stage. Also the Hangar stage had some quite nice bands to offer. Starting off the day was HEIMATAERDE and even though it was very early, the hangar was nearly bursting. Only WELLE:ERDBALL managed on that day to draw as many people as the first band into the hall.

Eiswiese, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany07th - 09th August 2009
Taubertal-Festival 2009 Day 1 (Main Stage): Zico & The Noisemakers, Aviv Geffen, Itchy Poopzkid, The Soundtrack of our Lives, The Rifles, Maximo Park
The first day of the Taubertal-Festival was very hot. When I arrived there in the early afternoon, I often asked myself how the fond-of-drinking young people I had met on the bus before would manage to endure the heat at the crowded Eiswiese. After a smooth admission procedure, I got my press ID and took a look at the beautiful location. As I had already planned to focus on the bands playing on the main stage, I climbed the hill on the left side and waited for the starting shot. http://www.taubertal-festival.de

M’era Luna 2009 Day 1 Main Stage: Nightwish, Apocalyptica, Peter Heppner, Blutengel, The Birthday Massacre, Oomph!, Die Apokalyptischen Reiter, Letzte Instanz, Krypteria, Whispers in the Shadow, No More
The 10th edition of M’era Luna is already over. And let me tell you, it was a full success. About 23,000 visitors were celebrating peacefully at the airport Drispenstedt. And also the weather god seemed to like us. Against all forecasts it stayed dry and warm during the whole weekend. With NIGHTWISH, the main stage had a great headliner to offer at the first festival day, but also the other bands, like Cello-metallers APOCALYPTICA or Canadian gummy-bear-group THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE rocked the crowd.

Veltins Arena, Gelsenkirchen, Germany3rd August 2009
U2, Snow Patrol
The probably biggest Rock band of today brings the probably biggest and one of the most innovative stages on tour. U2 bring their “360° Tour” to the football stadiums and arenas of the world, and we checked their stop in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, to see what this huge stage called “The Claw” looks like, and how the Irish band sounds in 2009. U2 is the world’s biggest Rock act - that’s what the media tells you at least. And it might be true, especially when you’re too young to remember the Stones. However, seeing U2 live was a first for me, and the second chance to check out a huge stadium show in front of almost 70,000 people within a couple of weeks after seeing DEPECHE MODE on the “Tour Of The Universe” a few weeks ago.

Villapark, Regensburg, Germany31st July 2009
Corvus Corax, Zwielicht
On this sunny, warm Friday evening, it was a joy to me to make my way to the Villapark Festival in Regensburg. The festival area is situated next to the Danube and consists of an old royal villa which looks rather like a castle with its towers and a great park. Would be the perfect location for bands like Corvus Corax and Zwielicht...
