Party.San Friday

Friend.X aka Mr. Deep·
Friday starts slightly earlier, as already mentioned. Nevertheless, there is still enough time for a proper shower and breakfast until we get ready for the funny gig of the first band on the Main Stage. It is a tradition to wear funny clothes and costumes in the audience on Friday morning. You can see unicorns and dinosaurs in a mosh pit when Danish GUTTURAL SLUG take the stage.

Ulmich om Braand 2026 – the Report

Friend.X aka Mr. Deep·
On Friday 12 June, after work, I'm off to Ulmbach for the UOB – Ulmich om Braand – festival at the Schützenhaus. I park the car at the campground and in the day-parking area, then make my way – a beer’s-length walk – to the festival site. It’s not exactly easy going; it’s been raining heavily over the last few days, so we’re faced with conditions reminiscent of Wacken.

UOB 2026 first impressions

Friend.X aka Mr. Deep·
I have just returned from the UOB (Ulmich om Braand) festival, which is held somewhere between Frankfurt and Fulda in a fantastic, picturesque setting. The festival experienced Wacken-style weather conditions on Friday, followed by a fantastic sunny but not hot Saturday, which dried up all the mud as well as possible. Anyway, before I talk too much, here are my first impressions of this two-days festival.

BAN! Better than nothing! 2026

Friend.X aka Mr. Deep·
As last year, I once again thought outside the box. Thus, when my colleague Sarah gave me the Spotify-playlist of her Besser Als Nix-Festival, I decided to expand the scope another time and for two days, given that 90% of the Friday/Saturday bands can be counted to Rock and Metal genre. Enjoy the report about a festival with a mix of music, food, beverages, diversity, inclusion and just plain fun for all generations.
