Tarja Turunen
TARJA TURUNEN concerts, whose voice being a lyrical soprano that reaches three octaves, are always an unforgettable experience. She began her musical education at the age of six. In addition to singing lessons, she also took piano and flute lessons. At the age of 18, she began studying opera singing at the Sibellius Academy in Kuopio. At the same time, at the instigation of the school friend Tuomas Holopainen, she became the vocalist in the band Nightwish.

Four bands that rocked the place - AESTHETIC PERFECTION, PRIEST, CHEMICAL SWEET KID and AMELIA ARSENIC - all represent different styles of industrial music, but they all have one thing in common: they all build unforgotten atmosphere filled with fantastic energy and vibe!

Donots - “25th Birthday Slam” - Support: Itchy + Samiam
When you as a band manage to turn 25 years, you definitely are in for a true celebration. The DONOTS from a tiny German town called Ibbenbühren have managed to stay together for a quarter of a century, and they seemingly are going full circle by celebrating this in style at the Düsseldorf Stahlwerk with exact the same band, they have opened for 20 years ago at this very place. THE DONOTS have promised to bring everything you need for a feisty anniversary: famous special guests, confetti, lots of green bottles and a hangover on the next day. And lots of fans followed the invitation, as the venue was sold out pretty quickly.

Zeche Carl, Essen, Germany23rd April 2019
Light The Torch - “Revival” Tour 2019 - Special guests: Malcolm Rivers
LIGHT THE TORCH arose from the ashes of DEVIL YOU KNOW, the band around ex-KILLSWITCH ENGAGE singer Howard Jones. Within four years, the Californian New Metal formation DEVIL YOU KNOW had gained a worldwide reputation as an extremely captivating live band. Then followed a break with the departure of their drummer and founding member John Sankey along with some legal struggles. After a reorientation and the completed search for a new drummer, the formation started again as LIGHT THE TORCH. ‘Revival’, their programmatically titled first album under this new name, has clearly gained in melodics and compositional finesse without losing pressure and intensity. To find out how this would translate into the live setting, I made my way to Essen to the Zeche Carl.
