Arena, Trier, GermanyFebruari 22nd 2005
Nightwish and Tristania
Outside it was frosty and inside there were fire & water. That´s how you could describe the “Nightwish” show in Trier. About 4700 people were running to the “Arena” to see “Tristania” & “Nightwish” this night. The venue was full with fans waiting for the show.
I have to confess, that I never have seen any Nightwish show and I was dying to see them live.

Cradle of Filth, Moonspell
As bizarre as the band itself, are their fans. So more than 2000 people with black and white painted faces made their way to see "Cradle of Filth" in Cologne.

Tiamat, Theatre of Tragedy, Pain and Sirenia
It is obvious in this tour that Swedish bands get along well. Sirenia, Pain, Theatre of Tragedy and Tiamat all have something to connect them to this country. Maybe that’s why this evening has a rather dark atmosphere. Tiamat is the band which lifts this atmosphere to a higher level and makes the entire audience get goose bumps. They may have been around for a while but the bombast and charisma is so obvious.

Tristania, Moondust
After supporting Nightwish on their 2005 concerts in big arenas, the Norwegian metal band "Tristania", discovered quite the opposite of a huge audience in Krefeld: much less people in a smaller venue. "Moondust", a local newcomer gothic/metal band, supported "Tristania".
