A very special event was awaiting us this Friday night.

VNV Nation

Edinburgh on the 24th of November is very cold. Actually, it’s freezing cold. It’s the second show of the UK Formation Tour, held at Teviot University. I wasn’t too sure about the venue but I believe that doesn’t really matter. After [:SITD:] warmed up the audience, 10.30pm was rather late for VNV to enter the stage. Nevertheless, the crowd was still very awake and Ronan, Mark, Vasi and Kolja received a very warm and loud welcome. Some glow-sticks came along too, as you may have guessed.

Billy Idol

Age doesn’t matter – Sex, drugs and Rock ´n´ Roll are still alive! Do you know William Michael Albert Broad? No? It’s Billy ‘Fuckin’ Idol and he is back! This year he released a new album after a break of twelve years, which is called “Devil’s Playground” and started touring again. At his side was his old friend and guitar hero Steve Stevens, who wrote the soundtrack for the award winning movie “Top Gun” for which he received a Grammy; he also played with Michael Jackson (“Dirty Diana”) for example and put the finishing touches to the Idol songs. Now Billy Idol arrived in Düsseldorf, which was the last concert of a 10 months lasting tour. The show started at 20:00. No support was needed. Billy and the band were enough.
