What began on 9 April 2016 as a one-day event in a marquee in the heart of the Motorsportarena, featuring four bands, is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year with no fewer than 21 bands over three days.
The year is almost two months old and time is flying by. 28 February is finally here: the Rock & Metal Day's Warm-Up Party is taking place at the clubhouse of the organising association, M.A.DE. for Kids e. V. Many guests have 'threatened' to come, so it won't just be club members there — one could truly say that this is a very well-attended event. Two excellent bands will perform live: Tinnitus Attavk and Blessed Child.
Burning Witches are currently on their European 'Witches and Kings' tour and back on German soil. Tonight, they will be performing at Kammgarn in Kaiserslautern. The show sold out, so it was moved from the Cotton Club to the larger Casino to accommodate more metalheads, and even this larger venue was very crowded.
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.
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?
The Rock & Metal Day'z, a charity event for children in need known far beyond the borders of Saxony-Anhalt, will enter its ninth year in 2025. There are two interesting changes this year to make sure it doesn't get boring.
The open air festival season 2023 will start soon. One of the earliest festivals are the Rock & Metal Day’z. They are located next to Motorsportarena Oschersleben.
Last year at the Rock & Metal Day'z I stumbled over a perfect vegan meal. Tasty, not expensive and easy to make with a little preparation. I asked Ute Horn, the cook for the recipe so here it is. If you want to try Ute’s original Mac ‘n’ Cheese come over for this year’s Rock & Metal Day’z next to Motorsportarena Oschersleben. Amongst the bands are April Art, Fire Rose, Motor Jesus, Bonded and many others!
Lights go out, Timmy Rough on vocals and guitar, Dizzy Daniels on lead-guitar, Hardy Heart on badass Bass and drummer Urban Berz leave the backstage area, grab their guitars and drum sticks and The New Roses enter the stage at their "Heimspiel" at Schlachthof Wiesbaden during their Sweet Poison tour 2022.
