Show day #3! After as sturdy breakfast we went to the venue quite early to see if Ticketmaster would have any GA tickets for sale. The only GA offered online were โverified resaleโ ticket for about $2000. We had a nice chat with the security guard while waiting for the box office to open at... Continue Reading →
Belmont Park, NY 11.04.2023 #SpringsteenTour2023
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 →
Belmont Park, NY 09.04.2023 #SpringsteenTour2023
You might say that this day, our first show day of this tour, actually already started the night before as we arrived late to NYC.

New York, here we come! #SpringsteenTour2023
As Iโve said before, there's nothing quite like the feeling of excitement that comes with planning a trip. From choosing the destination (and buying the concert tickets) to packing your bags, every step of the journey is filled with anticipation (Vorfreude).

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...

Where the Bands Are (The Rolling Stones, 5 June 2022)
The Rolling Stones are celebrating 60 โspecial yearsโ together with live dates across Europe this summer. My boyfriend and I decided to catch up with them in Munich. When #travellingformusic the gem is that you get to travel (obviously) and see, not only great bands performing their music live, but also beautiful cities around the... Continue Reading →
Where the Bands Are (Larkin Poe, 1 Juni, 2022)
I discovered Larkin Poe quite recently through YouTube where they, during lockdown, posted fantastic covers of classic rock songs (check out their YouTube account!) and that made me want to see them live. Larkin Poe, are the sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell backed up by Tarka Layman on bass and keys, and Kevin McGowan on... Continue Reading →
