Hellendoorn, The NetherlandsMay 17th, 2007
Every year, on Ascension Day, a festival is held in the east of The Netherlands. It's known for its very early start in the morning, and that's also why it's called "Dauwpop". This name refers to the Dutch expression: "Getting up before day and dew". The gates are opened at 8.30 a.m. and shortly after that the first band already starts playing. I decided not to be there that early, because I had to pick up some people on the road and the trip would be more than one hour and a half to drive. The most interesting bands, the bands we'll discuss in this review, would play later that day.

Waldrock, Burgum, The NetherlandsJuly 7th, 2007
Within Temptation, Dropkick Murphys, Moonspell, Testament, Meshuggah, Destruction, Celtic Frost, Obituary, Autumn, Vader, Moonsorrow, One Bullet Left
This year was the 20th anniversary of the Waldrock festival. 20 years ago the festival started out with one stage, and all sorts of music. It took a few years for Waldrock to become a hardrock/metal festival. The first few years only a few thousand people made it to the field. Nowadays Waldrock had about 8000 visitors each year. They have expanded from one stage in the beginning to this year having three stages for the first time.

WGT DAY 3: Dope Stars Inc., Faun, Estampie/Qntal, ASP, UnterART, Punto Omega, The 69 Eyes, The Crüxshadows
The third day of the WGT came and I was excited about the bands that were coming up during this Sunday. The weather was beautiful, maybe a little bit too warm, and you could see styled people everywhere that were going to see high-class bands like DOPE STARS INC., ASP or THE CRÜXSHADOWS. It was promised to be one of the best days of this year’s WGT!

Philipshalle, Düsseldorf, Germany
26th June 2007
Placebo, Satellite Party, Howling Bells
Every album was a little bit more successful than the one before. All in all it took 10 years to reach the top. PLACEBO’s latest album ‘Meds’ was released 1.5 years ago and now they were ready to present the new songs also to their German fans. The Philipshalle wasn’t sold out, but very well filled and the audience was hot for PLACEBO. Everyone needed patience, because there were two support acts and PLACEBO didn’t enter the stage before 9.45 p.m.

Arrow Rock Festival, Biddinghuizen, The Netherlands30th June 2007
Aerosmith, Toto, Europe, Riders On The Storm, Steve Vai, Rodger Hodgson, Scorpions, Outlaws, Thin Lizzy, INXS, Tesla
Arrow Classic Rock had a lot to celebrate this day. First of all it was an anniversary because it was the fifth Arrow Rock Festival. It was the first time that it took place at the festival area in Biddinghuizen. This is a larger then the former festival area and so were the names attending. Then there was another reason to party. This was the day that Arrow Classic Rock Radio went on FM radio. There was a little rain but nothing could spoil the fun for all the rockers attending this rocking festival. When arriving at the festival area the festival had already started. It was quite busy by that time and it was remarkable that this year there were many young people. When walking you could smell the wood chips on the floor which were there to make the ground firmer. There were two large stages and one small, more intimate stage.
