After a well-deserved summer break, the new season opened with a bang. Fat Bastard Promotions and Asgaard managed to book 1914, one of the most interesting bands of the last decade. Bokkerijders was chosen as support. No wonder the tickets flew out the door. After a few days, the event was hopelessly sold out.
Metalheads rejoiced in VIERNULVIER as Crouch, Slow Crush, and Amenra delivered crushing sets for “De 41 uur van Studio Brussel” celebrations of the radio station!
