Germany

On 20th & 21st July the ninth Amphi Festival starts off with more than 40 acts on three stages at the beautiful Tanzbrunnen Cologne. Headliners, legends, cult acts and newcomers, they all find their place in this year´s festival line up, ready to be celebrated, commemorated and discovered! With VNV NATION, FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM, ALIEN SEX FIEND, AGONOIZE, LETZTE INSTANZ, ROME, DR. MARK BENECKE and many others there is a piece for every taste from heavy electronic music to talks about forensic science! Roughly two months before the festival we would like to address some important matters.

When the BEASTIVAL festival will open its hellish gates from May 30 to June 1 in Geiselwind, Germany, every fan should be aware this is going to be a historical event.

 

BEASTIVAL managed to accomplish something unique: THE BIG TEUTONIC 4! KREATOR, SODOM, DESTRUCTION & TANKARD on one evening, on one stage – something that has never happened despite the plus 25 year-career of every single band involved!

 

The waiting is finally over… We are very pleased to reveal the headliner of Niflheim Festival II – it is nobody less than the folk metallers ENSIFERUM from Finland. The festival line-up is now complete.

 

Vreid will also release their new, yet untitled album in February 2013. Therefore we have arranged a special performance. The band will present the new album with an exclusive release show only at Niflheim Festival.

 

We are looking forward to 2nd March 2013, when the Finnish horde will hit the stage of LKA-Longhorn in Stuttgart.

It's maybe a surprise for some of you, but the biggest indoor Festival for Sleaze and Glam Rock is going into round 3, this time on 13th October 2012 in 58300 Wetter / Ruhr (15 Km in the east of Bochum) (Stadtsaal Lichtburg). Shout It Loud Festival line-up:

 

HEADLINER - STEVEN PEARCY, The Voice of RATT

It started in 1998 as a garden-party from the legendary Headbangers Ballroom Hamburg with 3 bands on a trailer. Nowadays it's 2000+ Metalmaniacs watching 25 bands, mainly traditional metal...

 

The Easter break is about to hit us and therefore the traditional Satanic Stop Festival takes place in Speyer (Germany). PLY will hand out a very special Summer Sampler on the Stomp with tracks of Demented Are Go, Bob Wayne, The Brains and Mad Sin. Watch out and grab it! More details at: www.satanicstomp.de.
