Tanzbrunnen, Cologne, Germany18th & 19th July 2009
Amphi Festival 2009 Day 1 Rheinparkhalle: Laibach, Feindflug, Agonoize, Marsheaux, Absolute Body Control, Scandy, Xotox, Jäger 90, Auto-Auto
The Rheinparkhalle was standing in the sign of harder electro music on the first festival was. It was even so hard, that the plaster fell from the ceiling during the FEINDFLUG gig. The hall could not be used anymore afterwards for the whole festival for security reasons. It was quite some tough work for the crew to get all the gear from the Rheinparkhalle to the Theater and make the LAIBACH gig happen there… it all took them only three hours, so big compliment for anyone of the team!

Amphi Festival 2009 Day 1 Main Stage: Fields of the Nephilim, Covenant, Leaether Strip, Eisbrecher, The Birthday Massacre, Solar Fake, Mantus, Coppelius
The first jubilee is over and it could not have been more exciting. Who would have expected FEINDFLUG to literally play the plaster from the Rheinparkhalle’s ceiling! Fortunately no one got hurt when that 2m² sized part fell on the stage and did burst into tiny bits. Still the facility manager of the Rheinparkhalle had to close the venue for security matters… but more about that in our Indoor-Stage report. The main stage on this first festival day had a great program to offer with Goth heroes FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM headlining the stage. Furthermore you got, among others, electro heroes COVENANT and LEÆTHER STRIP.

Backstage Open 2009 Day 1: Hassliebe, Benzin, The New Black, Tito & Tarantula
This year, the “Backstage Open” took place once more. Actually, it should become an open air festival, but the repeatedly bad weather arranged the organizer to move into the Backstage Werk. Because the bands could play longer indoors, the beginning times also got rid conformist and it started on the first day at 7:30 PM.
