Doro, Sonata Arctica, Altaria
This Friday night it would not have been very difficult to find the LKA in Stuttgart, even if I had never previously been there. In small groups metal fans of all ages were strolling to the place where, in a few hours time, the blonde, indestructible hard rock icon Doro Pesch, who has cast her spell over her fan community for more than twenty years now, was going to appear. When I arrived, the venue was already well-filled and I had to elbow my way to the stage, passing teenagers in Goth-style as well as old-established Metal-heads. For quite a while, this cute little family stood close to me; they had brought along their little daughter, and all three were proudly wearing the promo-shirt for ‘Doro’s’ new studio album, ‘Warrior Soul’. However, the banner in the background of the stage first announced the Finnish band ‘Sonata Arctica’, who, together with their compatriots from ‘Altaria’ to whom especially ‘Sonata Arctica’s’ guitarist Jani Liimatainen is related through a common time, are supporting ‘Doro’ on this tour.

ASP & Chamber - 'Once in a lifetime'
Since Max (Chamber) was a choral boy of the “black butterfly” (ASP), a thick friendship exists between both groups. Out of this friendship the idea of the 'Once in a lifetime' tour was born. Both artists always stressed that this would be a really unique tour and therefore we had to be present. The completely sold out Centralstation proved that also others shared this thought. For the evening Max promised a collection of songs that hadn't heard for a long time - unusual works and new stuff.

Midge Ure & Christina Lux
What do you do when one of the heroes of the 80ies is coming to town? You go and visit the concert, no matter what happens. Best known as the voice of ‘Ultravox’ Midge Ure announced some acoustic concerts where he would perform alone only with his guitar. Sounds promising and great? It was! In fact one of the most intense concerts I have seen this year so far.

Fish and Anne Marie Helder
This was going to be a special night, not because it was the legendary Fish on stage with his return to childhood tour, but because this 2m tall man had turned 48 and celibrated his birthday together with a lot of fans in the nice and cozy venue in Rijssen. Those who were there found themselves lucky indeed.

ORKUS FESTIVAL - CLUB TOUR: Division Kent, Zeraphine, Funker Vogt, And One
The most popular German Synthie-Pop act ‘And One’ wanted to present a new album. Also ‘Funker Vogt’ started meanwhile new directions with the use of guitars. ‘Zeraphine’ found their way to Krefeld too and had new material to offer. Newcomer ‘Division Kent’ wanted to prove how good Switzerland and New York harmonize. All these bands came together to play new and older songs. Unfortunately not as many people as expected came along – not really a wonder on a Thursday night. Nevertheless it was a great and successful evening.
