Rudolf-Weber-Arena, Oberhausen, Germany
10th December 2025
Bad Omens - “Do You Feel Love - European Tour” - Special Guests: The Ghost Inside, Bilmuri

“We need a bigger boat”. Almost two years after their last tour stop in Germany, BAD OMENS are back on the road much to the delight of their rapidly expanding fanbase. While in 2024, the Palladium was big enough for the crowd (although it was sold-out two days in a row), now the Rudolf-Weber-Arena sold out in a heartbeat, which serves as a solid indication that TikTok not only can produce Trap artists.

xPropaganda- “Best of Propaganda & More”

PROPAGANDA was a German band that took the world by storm in the 1980s. With their synth sound, the Düsseldorf-based band perfectly captured the taste of the youth of that era. PROPAGANDA was founded by Ralf Dörper, Andreas Thein and Susanne Freytag, with Michael Mertens and Claudia Brücken joining later. After the first single, ‘Dr. Mabuse’, Andreas Thein left the band and Propaganda continued as a quartet.

Gruenspan, Hamburg, Germany
25th November 2025
Perturbator & Special Guests: Kælan Mikla and GosT

On November 25th, 2025, Hamburg’s iconic Gruenspan slowly filled with fans as the audience drifted in ahead of the long-anticipated return of PERTURBATOR. The venue was, as the Germans say, -uncomfortably tight - due to the overwhelming amount of equipment the dark prince of Synthwave brought with him.

Palladium, Cologne, Germany
1st December 2025
The Hives - “The Hives Forever Forever The Hives - World Tour 2025” - Support: Spiritual Cramp, Yard Act

On a cold December night in Cologne, the Palladium found itself transformed into a pressure chamber of sweat, riffs, and beautifully unhinged showmanship. THE HIVES, long regarded as one of Rock’n’Roll’s most reliable detonators, arrived not merely to promote a new album but to reaffirm - yet again - their rule as the world’s most gleefully chaotic live band.

Weststadthalle, Essen, Germany
29th November 2025
Obsidian Echoes 2025 with Lebanon Hanover, Cold Cave, Ultra Sunn, Selofan, Rue Oberkampf, Ash Code & Soft Analog

The inaugural Obsidian Echoes Festival opened the doors of the Weststadthalle to a crowd of roughly 600 - 700 darkly dressed enthusiasts, ready for a marathon of Darkwave, Post Punk and New Wave. Although doors opened a good thirty minutes later than advertised, any impatience quickly dissolved once the night’s atmosphere settled in - a carefully curated blend of nostalgia and modern electronics, where icy minimalism met warm synth-driven melancholy.
