Showday #2! We left our hotel quite early. I had pointed out to my boyfriend that we didnโt have to go so early this time since we had seats and thereโs really no point in queuing. However, he said that he wanted to go to the arena to soak in the surroundings and get the... Continue Reading →

Where the Bands Are (Rammstein, 30 July 2022)
Those of you who know me know that Rammstein is not my obvious concert choice, and you are right. I only knew two songs before the show (Du hast and Deutschland), so you might wonder how I ended up in Ullevi to see the last of the bandโs three consecutive shows in Gothenburg. Well, hadn't...
