LKA Longhorn, Stuttgart, GermanyMay 26th 2006
Dark Fortress, Morphia, Eluveitie, Royal Anguish, Taketh
This Friday evening in the last days of May, the Longhorn (LKA) in Stuttgart had opened its doors to the 'Fear Dark Festival' tour. 'Fear Dark' is a Dutch metal label, which was founded in 1998 and began organizing metal festivals in 2002. This year, they came to the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland for six gigs in total, featuring 'Taketh' from Sweden, 'Royal Anguish' from the US, 'Eluveitie' from Switzerland and the Dutch band 'Morphia'. There were also different headliners during the small tour; this evening I looked forward to the German Black Metal guys from 'Dark Fortress', whose latest album release was praised in the press. I arrived at the venue shortly after the Longhorn had let the first visitors in, and I was surprised to see that there were only about 50 people inside. And it should remain like that until the fantastic performance of the folk metal-heads from 'Eluveitie'.

Stuttgart, LKA Longhorn, Germany 31st May 2006
A_liFe [Divided], Samsas Traum, Oomph!
Oomph! are everywhere in these days. They got into the album charts with their latest album “Glaube Liebe Tod” and they attracted even more attention with their single “Gott ist ein Popstar”. Some so-called moralists felt forced to press the censorship stamp on it. For the last concert of their tour on German ground they chose the LKA and the masses made a pilgrimage to the location. This was quite interesting. Some people are obviously standing by the band for years and there were many new fans, which lowered the age average considerably.

De Boerderij, Zoetermeer, The NetherlandsMay 11th 2006
Sonata Arctica, Doro, Altaria
When arriving at the Boerderij, Zoetermeer, I noticed that a lot of fans had already gathered in front of the Boerderij, dying to get in. It was Sonata Arctica who had attracked most of the fans this night. I, myself, am really looking forward to seeing Doro. I have never seen her perform live, but I heard some great stories about it. Time is check it out...

Arrow Rock Festival, Lichtenvoorde, the NetherlandsJune 10th 2006
Day 2: Pavlov's Dog, Ray Davies, Dio, Def Leppard, Queensrÿche, Roger Waters
The second day of the festival it seemed like many of the visitors had just come to see the main act of today: Roger Waters. Of course one of the highlights of the festival but there were more bands on stage worth a visit; experienced bands like Dio, Status Quo got the crowd going. Warming them up for the grand finale, 3 hours of Pink Floyd and solo work of mr. Waters.
