Call the Ship to Port 2023 with Rroyce, [:SITD:] & Diary of Dreams
The 17th Amphi Festival was supposed to be opened again with an edition of “Call the Ship to port” (CTSTP). The 1,333 tickets for this popular opening event on board Europe’s largest domestic event ship were completely sold out in the middle of September 2022. No wonder, as the high-class line-up promised a magnificent start to the 2023 Amphi Festival.

Two months earlier than usual, on July 15th, 2023 my journey took me to Volle Kraft Voraus Festival at Rathiopharm Arena, Neu-Ulm. This event has always marked the end of the festival season for me, this year it was the crowning middle of the season, because two important anniversaries were celebrated on this day - 5 years Volle Kraft Voraus Festival and 20 years of our hosts, EISBRECHER.

Solar Fake - Königstein Fortress Open Air - Support: Future Lied To Us
Concerts at Königstein Fortress are always something special. The wonderful landscape of Saxon Switzerland, the impressive backdrop of the fortress, the enchanting atmosphere in the Kasemattenhof. When SOLAR FAKE announce that they will be performing a concert at the legendary Königstein Fortress Open Air, you simply have to be there. For me, it was clear from the announcement of this event that I’ll be attending. And just when you think it can’t get any better, the special guest adds the finishing touch. SOLAR FAKE and FUTURE LIED TO US in this dreamlike setting - fantastic. Now, if only the weather cooperates...

Castle Party 2023 Day 4 with Cattac, Ariadne’s Thread, Golden Apes, Actors, Suicide Commando, Therion
On Sunday, the festival greeted us with rain, but fortunately, it subsided by the time the concerts commenced, offering a brief respite from the heat. As it was the last day of the festival, I was in for a real treat since most of the bands playing that day were on my list of favourites.
