Appelpop, Tiel, The NetherlandsSeptember 8th-9th 2006
Within Temptation, After Forever
Every year, on the second Saturday in September, a festival is held in Tiel, one of the oldest towns in The Netherlands. This festival, called "Fruitcorso", is to celebrate the harvest of the fruit produced in the Betuwe area. This area is famous for its large fruit orchards, containing apples, pears, plums and cherries. In the same weekend there's also a pop festival in Tiel, called Appelpop. It's one of the largest free pop festivals in The Netherlands. Most of the bands that play on this festival are Dutch and there is a lot of variation in music styles, like pop, rock, metal and hiphop. We only saw the bands we were interested in: Within Temptation and After Forever.

The last night at the camping ground has been unbelievable cold and so I was already waiting for the coffee stall to open. It was going to be a long day again. Yes, I know why I like hotels.

Bazar Curieux, Now & Wow, Rotterdam, The NetherlandsSeptember 16th 2006
Shogun Kunitoki, Mauro, Stijn, Cansei de ser Sexy, Liars, Peaches
Sometimes you just by accident stumble upon festivals that have been around for a long time but till now didn't get any of your attention. Bazar Curieux has had it's share of promo this year however. Not only did they get the controversial Peaches as headliner but maybe more important, due to the closure of Nighttown (it's planned venue), they moved to a new location for their 15th aniversary. They selected the big and high class dance club 'Now & Wow' which was offered as a replacement by their very music minded manager Ted Langebach. Industrial elements all around because Now & Wow is inside a former grain silo in the Rotterdam harbour this seemed to be a great place for this bizar event.

Gothic Festival, Waregem, Belgium19th of Augustus 2006
Lacrimosa, Haggard, Garden of Delight, Rosa Crux
With the occasional rain and drought the weather was not that bad today. Luckily it wasn’t because you had to come out for air in between bands. The temperature was rising and rising all day long. Outside there were some food stands and inside you could get drinks, though many walked to the near by super market as well. It was hard to park the car, there was a parking lot but it was closed! During the day the venue got busier, some even came only to see Lacrimosa.

Live Music Hall, Cologne, Germany29th September 2006
Lordi, The Dogma
It is simply amazing what happened to Lordi since they won the Eurovision Song Contest 2006. No one guessed that such a band could win this serious contest; it was already a surprise that they could be part of it. But it was just wonderful to see that it was possible and it was really necessary that this show gets a new face and gets into a new direction. If you are asking yourself, who’s listening to Lordi, we just can say – everyone who likes hard rock music. The audience was mixed; age between 15 and 50. They wore t-shirts from Metallica, Hammerfall, Grave Digger, Stratovarious, Kiss and so on. Lordi is hard rock for everyone!
