SKILLET – since more than two decades one of the leaders of genre Christian Rock, which is especially extremely popular in the US, and touring Europe as part of their ‘Day Of Destiny Tour 2023’. Their last long player ‘Unleashed’ was released in January this year, and this tour was the first opportunity to present the new material live. First thing of the night everybody saw: the big ‘Sold out’ sign at the doors of the venue. The venue was packed to its maximum capacity.

Supporting and opening the evening was EVA UNDER FIRE – an American rock band from Detroit, Michigan, USA. A group of skilled and experienced musicians presenting a hard-hitting style rooted in classic rock, punk, heavy metal, and sometimes pop.

LIKE A STORM was entering the stage next – an alternative metal/rock band from Auckland, New Zealand, now based in Las Vegas.  They are best known for blending the didgeridoo with heavy riff-driven music.

Finally, the highlight of the night was rocking the house: SKILLET. Besides their extraordinary music, a SKILLET concert is always something very special – lights, large video LED walls, fantastic sound and special effects – singer John Cooper shooting with nitro canons like RAMMSTEIN‘s Til Lindemann shoots fire. This was an American show at its best that would be capable to be shown on much larger stages and in bigger venues. It got pretty hot, the crowd got totally crazy and everybody was singing and moving. The mood brought up a number of crowd-surfers too. Maybe the only sad thing was that there has been only one encore on this evening, leaving a fascinated and satisfied crowd.
