No big words, just first pics of two great though very different Swiss events. Detailed reports will follow soon about Eisheilige Nacht and Finale Furioso!!!
December Newsflash
2025 is coming to an end. Most people count down the days by Christmas or New Year’s Eve. Metalheads are caught in Whamageddon until the bitter end out of the sudden. Nevertheless there are some occasions left over for a good old Headbangers Ball.
Rock & Metal Day’z 2025 – we did it!
On Sunday 22nd June morning I make my way to the second of three festivals. My car is fully packed for a raid to Oschersleben and Rock & Metal Day’z 2025. As last year, it is going to be a demanding 10 days experience. Now I meet with the others who have been eagerly awaiting this weekend for a year. They are the members of MA.D.E.for Kids e. V. and friends who will be hosting Rock & Metal Day'z 2025 from 26th to 28th June. They are very excited about the new location, the Autocross-Rennstrecke An Den Sieben Bergen in Oschersleben. How will the set-up go, will it be too cramped, are there any uncertainties, or will everything run smoothly?
Ulmich om Braand – UOB Festival 2025
What do you do when your favourite Swiss guys from Fire Rose, while on tour in January as support for Bonfire, tell you that they will be playing at a festival ‘just around the corner’ in the summer? Of course, you promise to come along. ‘Just around the corner’ turned out to be 120 km away, in Ulmbach between Frankfurt am Main and Fulda. Nevertheless, I set off on 20th and 21st June. The UOB Festival is to be the start of my two-week festival summer holiday,
UOB – Ulmich om Braand – preview –
The festival season has just started. The weather conditions are still a bit uncertain. I remember spending very cold mornings and evenings on the campsite and infield in the past, even in summer. We have the perfect solution for you: Camping, food and drink stands and an indoor tent stage for the Ulmich Om Braand festival on 20. and 21. June 2025.
BonFire Rose on Higher Ground
I can easily count them as one of my heroes from my youth. Apart from a short hiatus in the late 90s, the band has been around since 1972, first under the name Cacumen and since 1986 as Bonfire. The new album “Higher Ground” release is set on 24th January, three singles have already been released and the tour of the same name has just started. Tonight they play the legendary 7er Club in Mannheim.
Fire Rose – Finale Furioso
What could be better than going to a concert just before Christmas? Right, go with your metal buddy. What is an even better idea? To end the concert year with the same band you started it with. So we make our way to the Swiss town of Sissach near Basel and here we are, ready for the Finale Furioso of our most beloved Swiss guys, Fire Rose!
Rock & Metal Day’z 2024 – Here We Were
The festival once again was worth all the efforts and it proved that metal is not male dominated anymore with the two headliners on Saturday being all female bands, the co-headliner on Friday being female fronted and the audience being a good mix of generations and genders. Metal unites.
