The Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith, London, UK27th June 2019
The Stray Cats, The Living End, The Selector
Back in 1980 I was watching “Top Of The Pops” when a band called THE STRAY CATS, introduced by Tommy Vance, came on and performed ‘Runaway Boy’ I was mesmerised by the beat and by the moody look of the band members. The release was late November and the track stayed in the UK top 10 for four weeks.

Thom Yorke - “Anima” European Tour 2019 - Special guest: Andrea Belfi
THOM YORKE really needs no introduction. The singer, guitarist and songwriter of RADIOHEAD is already well known and loved all over the world due to the legacy of his band. But maybe that’s what makes his solo appearances such an exciting experience. His last live show in Germany in June 2018, for example, was a visually and sound-aesthetically impressive Electro concert at which Yorke sang and danced to the live mix of house producer Nigel Godrich, while the artist Tarik Barri created the fascinating visuals. Various YouTube recordings testify to this unpredictable and charismatic artist constellation. Which apparently both Yorke and his fans liked very much. Because THOM YORKE has brought Godrich and Barri with him for his current tour.

The Amity Affliction - European Tour 2019 - Special guests: Polaris, Venues
“Metalcore” plus “Australia” does not always equal PARKWAY DRIVE. In fact, THE AMITY AFFLICTION from Queensland were formed in the same year (2003) as their countrymen from New South Wales, who seem to enjoy a bit of a hype run lately. THE AMITY AFFLICTION lean a little more on the melodic spectrum of the Metalcore genre, which is manifested by the two singles from their new album, ‘Misery’, which has been released end of August 2018. Fans of the band looked forward to the gig, as the band also has brought a two carefully curated support acts with them, the first fellow Australians POLARIS, and the German combo VENUES from Stuttgart.

Eddie Vedder - 2019 European Tour - Special guests: Glen Hansard
Singer/ songwriter EDDIE VEDDER announced that he will perform a series of European concert dates in June and July. The tour fortunately led the lead singer of PEARL JAM also to Berlin and Dusseldorf, and the concerts sold out in a heartbeat, despite the heavy (and welcome) restrictions for ticket buyers, such as the purchasing limit of four and the ticket personalization. These concerts were a rare opportunity to see one of the greatest singer/ songwriters of recent rock history in a relatively intimate setting, and also get insights in to what inspires and drives a music legend like EDDIE VEDDER.
