A really successful tour kickoff at Stuttgart’s LKA Longhorn.
Three major legends of Bay Area thrash metal are shaking the ground of festival stages in Europe during summer season 2026: METAL CHURCH, DEATH ANGEL and TESTAMENT. A package that makes the heart of each thrash metal jump, especially if you were young in the 1980s. And this package hasn’t disappointed, especially not when they took the time for a club show at Cologne’s Essigfabrik in Germany – a whole night of the finest Bay Area Thrash Metal!
Tyla, Todd and Dane – Phil Campbell’s offsprings – featuring Julian Jenkins (FURY) on vocals keeping the flame and the spirit alive as PHIL CAMPBELL’S BASTARD SONS after the tragic death of their father. With their 2026 summer gigs this combo gives proof of their capabilities as a fantastic live band. Their mix of Mötorhead songs and their own material is a great mix of metal, hard rock and rock ‘n’ roll. Lemmy and Phil will be watching proudly from heaven. Rounding up the package as support was JAKE & THE CONVOLUTION.
Hot item of this summer in Germany: LANSDOWNE. The US-based hard rockers from BOSTON came back to Europe again after their first tour run last spring. Besides festival appearances, they did a number of headline shows. We have visited their gig in Stuttgart that took place on one of the hottest days of the year so far. And this was not only due to the combination with the opening act SMOKING LIPS.
One night, one band: MACHINE HEAD. The California based combo came to Ludwigsburg to take the audience on an almost 3 hrs ride through the band’s history. Robb Flynn and his fellow bandmates delivered a blasting show with stunning visuals, great sound, flames and lights. It was simply amazing and crowd followed actively with massive circle pits and a large number of crowdsurfers. A truly genuine concert experience!
