Mike & The Mechanics
MIKE & THE MECHANICS are a British rock band formed in 1985. It’s the band of GENESIS guitarist and songwriter Mike Rutherford. When singer Paul Young died in 2000 the band’s future was unclear for quite some time, even though they had several albums released and a plethora of hits under their belt such as ‘All I Need Is A Miracle’ ‘Another Cup Of Coffee’ or most notably ‘Over My Shoulder’. Eventually it all turned out good the band came back reformed and with fresh energy that resulted in the new album ‘The Road’, they were going to present amongst others at this evening’s start of the tour in Duisburg.

NDR Plaza Festival: Unheilig, Ich + Ich, OMD, Roland Bless
On May the 27th it was time again for a very special and already traditional event at the Expo Plaza in Hannover: The NDR Plaza Festival which started in 2001 as "EXPO Revival Party" in order to bring back and celebrate the EXPO feeling. This year, the line up presented an interesting combination of a newcomer (as soloist), a legend of the 80s and two of the most popular current German music acts. The line-up covered a nice variety of styles from co-called Schlager to Synth, Pop and Gothic(pop) but nevertheless could address a similar audience. As a result, there were 24,000 fans at the Expo Plaza - which was a new record. Not even the unsure weather situation (later on more about this) could keep them away from joining the party. And they were not disappointed by what they got.

AMON AMARTH is back with the new album ‘Surtur Rising’ and just as Surtur, the band arose to conquer the E-Werk in Cologne, being supported by THE BLACK DALIAH MURDER and EVOCATION. Even though the venue was not announced as being sold-out, it was really packed and very soon it became very hot inside.

Rocklegends in Concert: Uriah Heep, Nazareth, The Brew
Both URIAH HEEP & NAZARETH need no too detailed introduction to rock fans. Both bands are icons in their own right and their respective genre. Third one in league THE BREW might not have such a long history, emerging in 2005 and fusing a wide range of influences like modern rock or experimental 60s stylistics just to name a few. The young guys were making the kick-off to an evening of great rock music.
