My friend Jaime Garcia Perez from Cudillero, Asturias is a natural born music maniac. He doesn´t just take professional pictures during all the concerts he is accredited, he and his wife Patricia organise the StoneFest again after a long year hiatus. This years edition will take place at the Kuivi Almacenes in Oviedo, the local centre of subculture and underground, with a covered area of 700m2 and an outdoor area of 2000m2. The lineup is based on major festivals like Amplifestival or Roadburn,...
We live close to the Alps, close to the river Isar, where we float and swim and we listen to Heavy Metal. If you visit Tolminator, you have everything of that in one place; a stunning landscape, a beautiful river and a line-up 10/10. The location and the two stages have the right size for an intimate and international festival. We met and talked with 12 different nationalities, heard almost that much of different styles and enjoyed the beauty of Heavy Metal listening to Heavy Metal Bar piano...
Bored of the perpetual mud and rain at Wacken, the gigantomania of the GrasPop Metalfest, or the confines of the artificial world of Hellfest? Then it's time to turn your attention to Slovenia, where the successor festival "Tolminator" is taking place at the site of the already legendary Metaldays. Tolminator means: 5,000 spectators, or 5,000 nerds, who will party, bang, and relax for four days, off the beaten festival path, in beautiful nature on the banks of the Soča River. Is that even...
What seemed like a coincidence turned out to be one of the best festivals of the year over the course of the day. Starting with the location on a hiking trail through the rocks and maquis at Le fare Les Oliviers, the quality of the bands, the quality of the sound and the light in the venue and the acquaintances we made during the festival. Click on the button for the report.
Once there was a boat, traveling in dark winter nights on a black water river. The sailors came out from Catalunya and the wanted to found a band. So they start fishing in this dark water and they captured Death Metal, Black Metal, Doom Metal. Then they asked the devil what to do with all these fragments. And the devil wanted to throw the dice about the destiny of all these dark musical styles. So the band started to throw the dice and the devil creates a dark blend of harmonic music made out...
This festival is worth to see and it´s almost free to visit. You just have to donate at least 30€ and reserve your camping place and you get the light version of Roadburn-Festival on the meadow.
Rock in Bourlon is one of the less known festivals in Europe. The line-up looks like a summer edition of the legendary Roadburn-Festival. The difference between the high-priced and high-hyped Roadburn is, you have to donate around at least 30€, better is 50 - 100€ for the festival - the years before it was for free - and pay 20€ for the campsite. On the festival you consume local beers and food, vegan, vegetarian and meat and you can enjoy a line-up far away of the usual mainstream. Check...
