Gluecifer - European Tour 2019 - Special guests: Ondt Blod

20 years ago, a wave of Scandinavian Rock bands swept across Europe - with GLUECIFER from Oslo, Norway at the top of their list. Until their breakup in 2005, GLUECIFER shaped a whole genre over five albums. In 2018 the band around front man Biff Malibu and Captain Poon appeared on stage again in their hometown Oslo for the first time in 13 years. The four concerts were sold out in the twinkling of an eye, and the audience gave them a grandiose reception back on stage. The reactions spoke for themselves, and some said the band sounded “better than ever”.

Amy Macdonald

Although the A was completely sold out, the last “Woman of the World” concert of the AMY MACDONALD tour on Tuesday night in unplugged mode created a personal atmosphere. AMY MACDONALD has been famous since the age of 18, when she burst in to the charts with a debut album, ‘This Is The Life’, that bore the hallmarks of her homeland Scotland. Rootsy Folk-Rock might describe it, or just gutsy Pop played on real instruments. There were no tricks or trying to keep up with trends. Live, AMY MACDONALD didn’t need dancers, props or expensive light shows. Her image was as honest as her songs, in which real tales of real lives became stomping sing-alongs.

An Evening with Devin Townsend

When DEVIN TOWNSEND announced a very special European “An Evening With” solo acoustic tour, beginning at the end of March 2019 and running through April, the fans were excited and shows sold-out in no time. So, also the Cologne show was sold-out. The intimate evenings featured Devin performing tracks from across his catalogue, as well as taking part in a Q&A where fans got to know more about what Devin is up to at this stage in his career and the new album ‘Empath’. This was surely a unique & special experience for all in attendance.

Dark Spring Festival 2019 with Giant Waves, The Foreign Resort, Whispers In The Shadow, GoldenApes, Children On Stun, Then Comes Silence

There’s an extra flurry of excitement surrounding Berlin’s DARK SPRING FESTIVAL 2019, as it marks the ten year anniversary of this assured, one day event. The excellent Bi Nuu club proved to be the perfect venue again, it had even had a bit of a facelift, and a credit to all who worked at the club on the night, to make it smooth running, good natured and professional yet relaxed and casual. Six bands were chosen for this special night, and as always they offered both geographical and musical diversity…

Project Pitchfork - “Akkretion” Tour 2019 - Special Guest: Faderhead

PROJECT PITCHFORK is one of the most active bands out there: the “Akkretion” tour started about a year ago with the first leg and the release of ‘Akkretion’, the first part of a trilogy. The second release, ‘Fragment’, followed in October 2018 as well as the next tour leg. So just a few months later the third tour leg continued the journey, starting in Oberhausen on the 1st March and with a final show taking place in Dresden, at Alter Schlachthof. This spring 2019 tour leg was supported by FUTURE LIED TO US, but for the last gig in Dresden this slot has been filled by FADERHEAD who already joined PROJECT PITCHFORK on tour in autumn 2018.
