In the last hot days of this year’s summer, the H.E.A.T & Eclipse Co-Headliner Tour 2023 entered the stage at the ‘Im Wizemann’ in Stuttgart, Germany. That was a night of awesome Swedish hard-rock, and both bands delivered to the full expectation of the audience!

In the beginning of the month, the streets of Brussels turned black and the sky was filled with smoke for 3 days in a row: Rammstein was in town, and they held nothing back!

One of our photographers went to a rather unusual but nonetheless awesome festival – ‘Stars In Town’ which is taking place right in the middle of the old town city centre of Schaffhausen, Switzerland. We bring you the festival impressions from the opening day – with Danko Jones and Royal Republic!

Last week Friday, it was time to rock in Lima, Ohio with Tesla, and supporting band Fastest Land Animal, rocking a completely sold out Veterans Memorial Center with an amazing show!

Tuhdimmat Tahdit and Master Events brought one very hot festival to Tampere’s Ratinanniemi. It started with Verikalpa and ended with Beast in Black, but we also can’t forget about all the bands in between: Transworld Identity, Prestige, Ensiferum, Bloodred Hourglass, Dynazty, Lordi, Mors Subita, Dead by April and Diablo.

After a long break, THE CULT, the iconic rock band, is back on tour in Europe and the UK in June and July 2023. With a very limited number of gigs, we were on-site for their only German show in Stuttgart on June 15th, 2023. Opening act was Lili Refrain.

On the third day of Rockfest 2023, we weren’t able to capture as many bands as on the earlier days due to other responsibilities and some artists not wanting any pictures to be taken, but we still caught epic shows on the main stage by Michael Monroe, and Volbeat!

Two men, Cam Cole and Van Tastik, and a night of rock n roll and blues that filled the soul of everyone present at the Backstage venue in Munich.

Battle Beast turned Tamperes Pakkahuone into a circus when they came to town for their ‘The Circus is coming to Town’ tour. They also brought along One Desire, and together they delivered an evening packed of good music (and people). A production by Master Events.

Light streams in from the top right down to the middle center, illuminating the stage. The sihouette of a guitar player can be seen at the front of the stage, approaching the crowd.

After almost 30 years of rocking Flemish stages, the legendary Clement Peerens Explosition is calling it quits or as they would say “kuist zijn schup af”. A sad loss for Belgian music, but we were there to capture them going out with a blast at one of their farewell shows at De Roma in Antwerp.
