Parkbühne, Leipzig, Germany
4th July 2014
Darkflower Live Night Open Air: X-Divide, Rabia Sorda, Welle:Erdball, VNV Nation

It was hot on this July weekend. Ice cream melted within seconds into a sweet former ice cream stream, cold water turned into really warm water within five minutes and the sun was shining so brightly and hot in the Clara-Zetkin-Park in Leipzig that there was no way not to sweat or to complain about the heat. And so it was quite necessary to bring a hat, sun blocker and some creative things to cool yourself down at Leipzig's Parkbühne. Yes, wearing nothing (even less than usual at scene festivals) was a great idea but didn’t help that much. And so not only me but music friends from all over Germany came to fight against the heat while singing along to X-DIVIDE, RABIA SORDA, WELLE:ERDBALL and VNV NATION.

Amphi theatre, Gelsenkirchen, Germany
12th - 14th June 2015
Blackfield Festival Day 3: Herzfeind, [X]-RX, The Beauty Of Gemina, Beborn Beton, Clan Of Xymox, End Of Green, Letzte Instanz, L'âme Immortelle, Mono Inc., Project Pitchfork

The last day of the Blackfield 2015 was also the very last day of Blackfield ever! At least at the Amphi Theatre in Gelsenkirchen, as the organizers kept open the option to re-start the festival in another location - if they can find one! If such a plan would work it is questionable, as the Amphi Theatre was a big part in the charm and the identity of the Blackfield. Anyway, the third day of this year's Blackfield saw mixed weather and a mixed bag of bands...
