Enter Shikari dropped by the Zenith Kulturhalle in Munich, Germany and amazed with an electric show, supported by an explosive Fever 333 and the locals of Blackout Problems opening the night!
It’s spring and the year kicks off with a metalcore highlight: Electric Callboy is on the ‘Tekkno World Tour 2024’, and we caught them at the Schleyerhalle venue in Stuttgart, Germany. In tow, the German sextet brought along the band Coldrain from Japan and Nothing More from the United States. They are setting ablaze the largest stages in Europe before heading on to the US, Canada, and a selection of summer festivals, don’t miss out!
An assault bus passed through Munich, and inside it were the Americans of Lionheart, Suicide Silence, Kublai Khan and Paleface Swiss, who simply wrung all the sweat out of those present in the larger room of the Backstage club.
The Backstage venue in Munich received the North-Americans of Thrice warmly, who are presenting the album they released two decades ago on this “The Artist In The Ambulance 20th Anniversary Tour”, playing it in full from start to finish as originally released on record. And with them, they brought the Danish band Town Portal to get the night started in style.
The Nordic weeks in Rock over Germany have been going on. Just a week after a fabulous BEAST IN BLACK tour stop in Stuttgart, another headliner from Finland’s power-metal top-notch acts conquered another concert venue in town with a show deluxe: BATTLE BEAST on their ‘Circus Of Doom Over Europe Tour 2024’. Support was given by INDUCTION and SAINT DEAMON.
Abbath and company came to Munich to show how black metal is done at the highest level. In their luggage came the American Toxic Holocaust and the Scottish Hellripper, who opened the night like two big explosions.
Whenever Finnish bands travel around in other parts of the world, we tend to try catch them live at least once. The “Glory and the Beast” tour brought together three of the most exciting bands in the European power metal scene: Brothers Of Metal, Gloryhammer and our Finnish friends of Beast in Black. The tour enthralled fans throughout Germany with a spectacular blend of epic melodies and high-energy performances. See and feel the power of this night of their stop-over in Stuttgart, Germany!
Once again the Backstage München received an explosive night with Tenside dropping by for a hometown show showcasing their brand-new album ‘Come Alive Dying’, and very special guests For I Am King and The Oklahoma Kid!

Support came from Templemind at their stop in Stuttgart’s Im Wizemann in Germany!
After a long break, Gluecifer, who are one of Norway’s finest rock exports, played 3 gigs on their ‘Kings of Rock Tour 2023’ in Germany. We were lucky enough to be able to catch one of these shows for you at LKA Longhorn in Stuttgart! Power-rock trio The Demtones gave a solid support as opening act.
