Lisse, the NetherlandsFriday August 1st
Castlefest
Friday, the first day of what is already the fourth edition of this festival. Castlefest is a lifestyle festival for anyone interested in pagan, celtic, fantasy and the like. I'm a first timer here, I came because friends working at the festival told me that I have been missing out on something for the past years. They told me the setup of Castlefest is much less commercial compared to other similar ones and the atmosphere around the grounds is that of a gathering of friends and family. Say no more, I'm there already...

In Extremo and End of Green
Notorious for their great live performances, IN EXTREMO selected venues that they described as “handpicked and intimate” and which they themselves personally love in their Ius Primea Noctis (Right of the First Night) Tour. This led to a level of expectation that I wasn’t sure they could live up to. How wrong I was, for I was present at two of the best concerts I have ever attended.

Zitadelle Spandau, Berlin, Germany29th August 2008
Zita Pop: Psyche, Mesh, Camouflage, And One
The summer with all the great festivals comes to an end and on the last Friday in August, another small festival took place in Berlin - the Zita Pop Open Air 2008. The festival was small but fine, situated idyllically in the patio of an old historic fortress in Berlin-Spandau and loaded with a great line up. I was very happy that I could enjoy this nice festival and full of expectation I entered the Zitadelle Spandau at late Friday afternoon.

After a good sleep at home in my own bed we made our way to the close festival are laying down in brilliant sunshine. Perfect weather for an open air festival! After THE HIVES were already present at last year’s Area4 edition they were headlining the second festival this year. But there were of course some more highlights on the schedule. I was especially looking forward the show of SERJ TANKIAN; most people might know him already as singer of SYSTEM OF A DOWN. [DV]
