On Sunday, the second festival day, about 6,000 people made again their way to Cologne to see their favourite bands. The afternoon started very early at about 1:00 and Cologne welcomed us with clear blue sky and sun shine. Nearly perfect festival weather. It only was a little bit too warm and if you were not careful you went home with a sun burn afterwards. Today the program was running on only one stage what gave a much more relaxed atmosphere to the whole day. People were lying in the grass, enjoyed their food and drinks or just went shopping in-between the bands or when a not liked band was playing. The well mixed program again offered music from the different dark music genres.

The third day of WGT should be unfortunately the last day for some of us – so it was for me. Luckily the weather was a bit better than on the previous day and so we went to Parlbühne in a very good mood. It was a bit cold though but the music should heat us up enough. Sadly we cannot provide reviews of all of the bands. But at least we’ll show you some pics and give you setlists of some shows. http://www.wave-gotik-treffen.de/

It was the second round now for the Amphi Festival. This time with another location: the festival moved from the Amphi theatre in Gelsenkirchen to the Tanzbrunnen in Cologne which is situated directly at the river Rhine. Usually in a very nice surrounding but at the moment there are a lot of building activities around so it was even a bit difficult to find the parking lots. But the securities were very helpful and so it was no problem at all.

Bospop, Weert, The Netherlands
July 8th and 9th 2006
Simple Minds, The Alan Parsons Live Project, Glenn Hughes, Stream of Passion, Beth Hart, Living Colour, Roxy Music

Sunny times for Bospop this year, a little bit of rain to cool us down some times but that was it; sunglasses and sunscreen all around. Even though there were not as many bands in our genre Bospop had a good line up with some old and new heroes of music. The first evening there were three bands, finishing with Sting who never seems to loose his charm, his talent, or his lust to perform. Many of the bigger bands of the festival only allowed so many photographers in the photopit which was a pity, it will cost them publicity.
The facilities at Bospop are great, there are many toilets and they are clean, there is a wide variety of food, there is even a small festival market and of course a merchandise stand. When the sun was too hot there were wet sponges to cool off the audience. Everybody was in a good mood, there were many different ages and many different kinds of people there but they were all in a good mood and it was peaceful festival.
