DANKO JONES was touring Europe to support their 12th studio long player ‘Leo Rising’. A triumphant journey through the venues of the continent, and most places have been sold out. This was true for the Mannheim gig as well, a fully packed concert hall and eagerly anticipating crowd were the perfect ingredients for a memorable night and the classic rock of support Tuk Smith and The Restless Hearts was a perfect tastemaker to get things going!
A couple of weeks ago, MOTIONLESS IN WHITE took over LKA Longhorn in Stuttgart, Germany on their ‘Touring the End of the World’ tour. They brought along Canadian deathcore stars BRAND OF SACRIFICE and Texan ensemble FIT FOR A KING. The venue filled to the absolute max got a fantastic US stage production in the beloved club atmosphere. An early big concert highlight in 2025! Still on tour, we can’t wait to welcome them at Helsinki Jäähalli in Finland this Tuesday!
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!
The Canadian cult band Godspeed You! Black Emperor created a night of worship at the Muffathalle, Munich with support from Tashi Dorji. A night our photographer won’t be forgetting any time soon!
We had the chance to celebrate their 20 year anniversary at their hometown Helsinki, in The Circus. Check the gig pics we got from Children of Bodom, Forever Still and Oni!
Album Reviews
If you’ve ever asked “Who the f** is Danko Jones?”, their 12th album answers loud and clear. ‘Leo Rising’ brings back the swagger, the attitude, and the punch. Classic Danko: raw, catchy, dirty rock ’n’ roll with zero apologies. Out next week Friday November 21st via Perception!

Guess who’s back? Danko Jones are releasing their 11th full-length album ‘Electric Sounds’ this Friday via AFM Records, and deliver an album that’s bound to be a classic in the pantheon of modern rock… the typical Danko Jones sound with a higher speed, and more grooves than before, proving that after over a quarter of a century they still kick ass. Highly recommended!
