Time to celebrate 35 years of psychedelic stoner rock: we caught MONSTER MAGNET at one of their stops on their anniversary tour, bringing us together with support DAILY THOMPSON a night full of psychedelic infused Stoner-Rock at LKA Longhorn in Stuttgart, Germany!

Support came from International Music.
On September 3, 2024, the Liederhalle in Stuttgart transformed into a mystical place as HEILUNG continued their current tour.
