König Pilsner Arena, Oberhausen, Germany
December 28th 2004
Nightwish, Oomph, Apoptyga Bezerk, Tiamat, Suicide Comando, After Forever, Secret Discovery, Angelzoom
 
The big hall from the Köning Pilsner Arena is filled with a lot of Nightwish fans. A lot of teenagers are standing in the front for the whole day waiting for the headliner, others are relaxing elsewhere. The atmosphere is very relaxed and people really seem to enjoy it.  It isn’t that massive as the impression was on the outside. Who never saw the arena: it’s like a big city. A big hall with little stalls for food and drinks around it. The evening is in the hands of a German celebrity. She also introduced the bands at Mera Luna and now she’s here as well.

It the second time that Eric Gijsen arranged a festival where all the money went to research for better medication against cancer. This year 1824, 35 euro was collected. Unfortunatly headliner Orphanage had to cancel the show because the drummer was ill. They found a new headliner and it was still a very good day after all.

The 69 Eyes and The Others


One thing you have to admit: "The 69 Eyes" are real posers... fullfilling all the imaginations you might have about gothic rock. But they are good in doing that. So good that it is real fun watching them performing on stage.

Paradiso, Amsterdam, Netherlands
November 8th 2005
Nightwish and Sonata Artica

The band that became a mega success with ‘Century Child' has conquered everybody with their latest release ‘Once'. Most gothic fans were therefore looking forward to their new show. Nightwish started their ‘Once-tour' at Dynamo and ended the first part at Paradiso in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The band was up to a party and this became very clear. An outrageous audience was the result of all this, a concert to be remembered by many for a long time to come.
