I arrived just in time for Gloryhammer. Since they have a new singer, Sozos Michael, I was curious to see how he sounded live with the new line-up. And I have to say, I’m not disappointed. Of course, you can hear that their new song ‘Fly Away’ is more adjusted to his voice than the other songs. But he’s definitely doing a good job and hitting al the right notes. They played a wide range of songs that made for the best setlist. Later when I checked back, it were only 8 songs, but those 8 songs definitely satisfied me.

Steel Panther gets a bit repetitive over time. If you’ve seen them before, you know it’s about sex, drugs, rock ‘n’ roll and girls. And yeah, it’s funny sometimes, but also sometimes comes across a bit disrespectful if you’re not in the same joking mood. Nevertheless, their songs always sound very good and are fun to play. They got girls on stage again when they played ’17 Girls in a Row’. Right after that, lead guitarists Satchel’s guitar stopped working while playing ‘Community Property’. Luckily, Steel Panther knows how to ramble on about stuff, so no awkward moments were left untouched.

First time for me seeing Black Label Society. Although I follow lead guitarist and singer Zakk Wylde on Instagram where he shows his licks and tricks on guitar, it was amazing to see them live. Their sound was so full and pure. An absolute blast to listen to.

A Day To Remember always make sure their show is something you’ll remember. Back in 2015, I saw them for the first time and returned with some good memories. This time in 2022 they did it again. They used some huge inflatable balls for the crowd to bounce around with and played their iconic songs like ‘Right Back at it Again’, ‘All I Want’ and ‘I’m Made of Wax, Larry What are you Made of?’. Of course, they also played some of their new stuff from their latest album ‘You’re Welcome’ like ‘Mindreader’. A Day To Remember leaves you with nostalgic feelings and leaves you craving for the next show.

Whitesnake, one of the classics in the rock scene. Not really my usual cup of tea, but definitely a favorite for a lot of others. They started with playing ‘Burn’, a Deep Purple cover. Deep Purple would play on Sunday still, so it seemed like a nice tribute to start the show with. Of course, some of their very well known hits like ‘Crying in the Rain’, ‘Is This Love’ and ‘Here I Go Again’ came by throughout their set, making it one big party and a trip through memory lane.
