From Deathcore to Street Punk: This Week's Concerts in the Ruhr Area
The coming week is absolutely stacked! From a deathcore mega show at the Mitsubishi Electric Halle to an intimate punk night at Die Trompete – over 60 shows await. Here are the highlights!
The Big Bangers
The absolute highlight drops on Thursday at the Mitsubishi Electric Halle Düsseldorf: Lorna Shore bring the heaviest deathcore package of the year to the region with Whitechapel, Shadow of Intent and Humanity's Last Breath. Will Ramos and crew in one of the city's biggest venues – this is going to be historic.
If you prefer it punky: On Friday, Los Fastidios bring their infectious Italian street punk to Die Trompete Bochum. The veterans are an absolute force live, and the intimate Trompete is the perfect setting.
Underground Gems and Local Heroes
Monday brings a double feature in Cologne: Bass Drum Of Death deliver raw garage rock at Gebäude 9, while on Tuesday Die Spitz tear up Die Kantine – Berlin punk that'll get your feet moving.
A real insider tip on Monday: Don't Try at Bollwerk 107 in Moers. Post-punk and noise for those who love discovering something new – Bollwerk is exactly the right place for it.
The local scene shows up strong on Saturday: Illegale Farben play at Spunk Gelsenkirchen – post-punk from the heart of the Ruhr area! And on Thursday, Nitrogods deliver dirty rock'n'roll at Vinylcafe "Schwarzes Gold" in Dorsten. The venue alone is worth the visit.
From Hardcore to Darkwave – Something for Everyone
On Wednesday, BACKFIRE! bring the heat at Pitcher Düsseldorf – Dutch hardcore that takes no prisoners. Valentine's Day with a twist: Sixth June bring darkwave to Grend Kulturzentrum Essen on Saturday – perfect for anyone who prefers a darker alternative to the bouquet of flowers.
On Sunday, The Mahones close out the week with Celtic punk at Gulfhaus Bielefeld, while at Helvete Oberhausen Skyforger and Wolfchant deliver an epic pagan metal Monday.
