Lowlands, Biddinghuizen, the NetherlandsAugust 20th 2005
Apocalyptica, Nightwish, Marilyn Manson
Lowlands is a festival where people not only come for the music. There is theatre, comedians and writers, but also politicians in discussions; Ruud Lubbers is there to warn us about the enviroment. Luckely the bad weather passed this area and the sunshine makes it more comfertable. Three days of this festival and it brings the visitor in a totally different mood: more relaxed and tolerant. More then 50.000 people are walking around and between all those attractive tents. There is metal this weekend, and although it is not much, it is high quality.

013, Tilburg, The NetherlandsSeptember 2nd 2005
In Extremo and Heidevolk
On a hot summers day many had gathered in the even warmer 013 in Tilburg. When we arrived the first band had already started. The venue was filled although there was space between all people. During the evening someone even fainted due to the heat. Besides this we were all in for a great evening with great music and enthusiasm, it was definitely a night to remember.

M´era Luna Festival Day 2: Amduscia, The Birthday Massacre, Trisomie 21, Zeraphine, Flesh Field, Lacuna Coil, Melotron, Diary of Dreams, Deine Lakaien, The Klinik, The Sisters of Mercy
After a long sleep in the hotel, the Sunday started with rain. Everything was grey and wet. Seeing this, we were really happy about our hotel room and a hot shower. Sorry for all the camping people who might have had a terrible wet and cold night. We had a nice breakfast with some friends and arrived quite late at the festival area. http://www.meraluna.de/

Nightwish, Marilyn Manson, Apocalyptica
It's Friday afternoon when we get in the car to drive off towards the warm south to pick up a friend and drive on to the Belgian music festival Pukkelpop which is celibrating it's 20th aniversary. Unfortunatelly we'd only been invited for the Friday so we had to skip quite a few interesting bands. Due to another appointment that day we had to miss Bad religion but at least we were able to review three nice bands again.

The last day of this three day lgothic lifestyle event starts off for us with bands in Ekko, a small venue on the western side of the town's center, where the metal bands take their time to perform. At Tivoli de Helling, the side venue of the main Tivoli building the fans start entering the building for the cyber bands of this day. The weather seems nice when we start his day, a nice start after all the rain of the last few days. Finally all the make-up won't wash off all the time when moving to another venue.
