VNV Nation - Judgement - Tour Europe (Part 1), Imperative Reaction, Modulate
There are so many clubs in Berlin but only one “Postbahnhof”. It is a place for 12,000 fans of music. The two halls are authentically restored and could be used together or abstracted. It is always a pleasure to visit this hall because of that great light and very good sound. MODULATE, IMPERATIVE REACTION and VNV NATION had a perfect location for their tour when they played Berlin.

P60, Amstelveen, The Netherlands31st March 2007
CombiChrist, Reaper, Northborne
Underground frequncies managed to get CombiChrist back to the Netherlands after his very succesful show last year at Summer Darkness. Eventhough the downtown area where the venue is situated, was struck by a power outage of 3 hours, the bands still managed to get ready for the concert in time. Some 500 people therefore could just enter in time and get ready for this only Dutch show in the European tour of CombiChrist.

De Boerderij, Zoetermeer/Plato, Helmond, The Netherlands29 & 30 March 2007
Kamelot, Leaves’ Eyes, Fairyland
A good package of bands can make the difference between a totally packed venue and just an ordinary, mediocre concert. Not that the last thing ever happened with Kamelot. When they come to Europe, they always have a fan base that easily can fill up a venue like De Boerderij. This time it is different. Leaves’ Eyes returns to Europe after their long tour with Blind Guardian. When two bands are missed for a long time, it is not a surprise that both shows are totally sold out. It will be everything than ordinary, that’s for sure!
