Concert review: Imminence + Aviana + Allt, Carlswerk Victoria Cologne, 17 October 2024

This was wild. Until recently, I hadn’t listened to Imminence that much. It was mostly because my girlfriend started listening to them more and more that I added them to my playlists as well. When they announced their tour, we were still a little hesitant and wanted to wait for support. When the support acts were announced, we were still hesitant, because we didn’t know Aviana and Allt either. It was two things that made us buy tickets in the end: a) seeing Aviana at Free For All and b) seeing the photos and videos of Ilona Gerasymova. So to be honest, I didn’t really know what to expect. The closer the show, the more excited I got. And then the evening before, my girlfriend announced that she had the next day off – and we very spontaneously bought VIP upgrades although we still hated them, but we wanted to

Concert review: The Warning & Conquer Divide, Live Music Hall Cologne, 17 April 2024

Yet another concert I visited to see the support act. This tour was Conquer Divide’s first tour ever in Europe. I’m a big fan of their music since their feature in Electric Callboy’s Fuckboi, so I was super excited to hear that they would finally play shows in Germany. Only that those shows were sold out before they were even announced and I can tell that this was the most painful struggle for tickets ever, worse than Bad Omens or BMTH, because while in the latter cases, most resale tickets were just ridiculously overpriced, there were almost no resale tickets for this Cologne show at all. In the end we somehow managed to get one ticket and one spot on the guestlist, so here we are with a little concert review. Little because I honestly can’t say much about The Warning.

Concert review: Fiddler’s Green & The Feelgood Mclouds, Carlswerk Victoria Cologne, 12 April 2024

Concerts during week days can sometimes be a bit troublesome. Especially when they are Cologne. Getting there is a pain in the ass and also I’m often so exhausted from work that I don’t really feel ready for a concert at all. Thankfully Fiddler’s Green are the type of band that will make the evening great even when I felt mostly like staying at home. The show of their The Green Machine Tour was no exception…

Concert review: Bad Omens & Poppy, Palladium Cologne, 28/29 January 2024

First things first: For this post I decided to write a combined review of both Bad Omens shows in Cologne. Altogether I’ve been to four concerts of this tour and since there wasn’t that much of a difference between the Cologne shows (while there was still a significant difference) I decided to review those two together. I’ll also write a combined review for the other two shows because I’d probably repeat some points again and again, so instead of cluttering my blog with Bad Omens concert reviews I decided to group them. At some point I the past I was very worried about the four concerts we had tickets for. Somehow I had feared that I might regret it after the first show. I didn’t. In fact, I am more than happy to have bought tickets for four shows because not all of them were equally good, but read more.

Concert review: Future Palace & Envyyou, Helios 37 Cologne, 03 December 2023

Second to last concert of the year. We’d seen Future Palace as support for Electric Callboy three times during their TEKKNO tour and I was blown away by the energy of this band. And I really wanted to go see them afterwards, but if I remember correctly, their Cologne show was sold out. Good thing they added a bonus show I got tickets for. And I didn’t regret it.
