Stadtpark, Hamburg, Germany
17th June 2014
Alter Bridge & Skillet

After their big festivals gigs at Rock am Ring and Rock im Park, ALTER BRIDGE came for one exclusive concert to the Stadtpark in Hamburg and brought along SKILLET as support and the best weather for an open air concert. Because of that fact, many curious listeners camped in the near of the stage in the city park and listened to the music from the outside of the terrain. We went in just in time, at least when you believe the announcement. But when we were in, we got a bad surprise and were not the only one, for which the evening started with a disappointment…

We started the day with a visit at the Leipzig automotive fair “Auto Mobil International” – AMI – where for the WGT a special exhibition was installed presenting historic mortuary vehicles. Entrance was for free for WGT visitors. The exhibition presented vehicles from four periods, reaching from a mortuary carriage from 1980 to a mortuary trailer from 1970. Besides carriages from the 19th and 20th century you could also see the Cadillac offering the funeral cortege for Marlene Dietrich. Sadly, we did not have enough time to see the Design de luxe Collection of fashion designer Lucardis Feist from Bad Lauterberg (Harz) at Hotel Fürstenhof Leipzig on this Saturday afternoon. Designer Lucardis Feist creates extraordinary dark and individual wedding outfits.

Amphitheater, Gelsenkirchen, Germany
20th to 22nd June 2013
Blackfield Festival Day 1: Austerity Complex, Feuerschwanz, Gothminister, Namnambulu, Saltatio Mortis, Schandmaul

The Blackfield Festival took place for the seventh time and nearly 6,000 people came to enjoy the music, the special atmosphere, were meeting old or making new friends and having altogether a great weekend. The venue is very extraordinary as it is an amphitheatre at the Rhine-Herne Canal. As it is typical for such a theatre the acoustic is of the same quality wherever you are sitting and from almost every seat you have a good view to the stage.

Wave Gotik Treffen 2014 Day 1: Heimataerde, Christian Death, The Eternal Afflict, The Fair Sex, Apoptygma Berzerk & White Lies

The first festival day for us mainly took place at the Agra area and the closely situated Pagan Village (Heidnisches Dorf). But before we enjoyed the concerts at the area, we had a short visit at Clara-Zerkin-Park and the Victorian picnic. There was something new at the picnic: the picnic area was separated by a red barrier tape where no photographs were allowed. The reason most likely was that many attendee dos the picnic felt more and more stalked by the photographers during past years. Anyway around that area you had the chance for some nice photo motifs. [Just visit our gallery].
