Hardline’s European tour 2026 stopped by DVG Club in Kortrijk last week. Supported by Sevi, they blew the roof off!
A sold-out Sunday Funday at The King Of Clubs in Columbus with Filter, Finger Eleven and Local H. Three bands, one packed room, and a perfect day of alternative rock energy.

Eclipse together with One Desire they played a show at Tampere’s Tavara-Asema at the end of January in front of a small but excited crowd as part of a short Finnish tour!
Swedish power disco rock masters ROYAL REPUBLIC are on their “LOVECOP Tour 2026”. The fun overloaded stage performance rocked the masses and with the first tunes everybody in the crowd starts groovin’ during the vibrant live show. Support was given by the German ALEX MOFA GANG and their mix of punk, indie and a little pop music.
Another year is over and our photographer Tom Treuten is still doing what he loves most: concert photography. Since October 2021 we’re a home for his photographic work and these are some of his personal highlights of 2025 that he hopes you’ll enjoy them as much as him, with pictures of VULVARINE, STEPFATHER FRED, ANKOR, DONOTS, WOLFMOTHER, THUNDERMOTHER, SKINDRED, TUK SMITH & THE RESTLESS HEARTS, SALTATIO MORTIS, PARKWAY DRIVE, MOTIONLESS IN WHITE, MOONSHOT, MEGADETH, KISSIN’ DYNAMITE, HELLOWEEN, ENGST, GATECREEPER, ENEMY INSIDE, DISTURBED, DANKO JONES, BEAST IN BLACK, APRIL ART, EMIL BULLS, ELUVEITIE, AVANTASIA, ARCH ENEMY, AMENRA, NITA STRAUSS, and COBRA SPELL!
Popeda played their last gig of 2025 at Tamperes Tavara-Asema on December 13. An evening that wasn’t only fun to watch but exceeded my expectations.
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!
