Massive shoutout to the lead singer of Fat Dog at Dauwpop last weekend! 😎 He went in for the epic stage dive, took a glorious trip right off the stage instead, but bounced back like a true legend. 🐕💨
The moshpit that followed? Pure chaos. What an absolute party! 🕺🔥

EUROPE! 🌍 Architects are returning to the festival stages this summer! 🔥
They are coming to the Netherlands to headline on Thursday, June 25th at exactly 00:00 (midnight) 🇳🇱 Get ready to tear the place apart!
Good news: there are still tickets available, so grab yours now before it’s too late. 🎟️
To get you warmed up, check out this video of an epic sit-down and Wall of Death from their massive show in Amsterdam last year 😈 We expect nothing less than THIS energy at Jera! Who is ready?! 🤘🌪️

GOAL! ⚽️ If the whole “Frontman of Metallica” thing doesn’t work out, James Hetfield clearly has a backup career waiting for him in the Champions League. ⚽️🎸
Seeing him kick these massive yellow M72 balls across European stadiums has us wondering... is it too late for a football contract? 🤣

Finally! 😍 Word on the street is that Gojira’s highly anticipated 8th studio album is dropping later this year! 🥁🎸 After the masterpiece that was Fortitude, drummer Mario Duplantier confirmed that they are taking things a step further. They are returning to massive, “heavy guitar riffs” with a modern, razor-sharp edge 🔥
They’ve taken all the time they needed to perfect it, and it’s going to be nothing short of legendary. Get ready for heavy, get ready for fresh. Gojira is coming to reclaim the throne end 2026! 🐋💥

Still recovering from the absolute explosion of energy that is ! 🌈 They completely turned this festival in The Netherlands upside down last weekend.
Can we go back already? 😎

Last weekend’s highlight: hearing ‘Moving to New York’ live at Dauwpop in The Netherlands 🥳 We managed to get all the way to the front row, standing just 1 meter away from . Such a fine show! 🇬🇧🎸

🇩🇪 GERMANY, DONE! 🔥 What an incredible run it has been! has officially wrapped up their epic German adventure as the support act for the mighty . 🤘

94,000 fans in Berlin! 🏟️⚡ Last Saturday, Metallica completely broke records at the Olympiastadion, tearing down the house for two epic hours. From Enter Sandman to 72 Seasons, it was the ultimate finale to the German tour leg 🥰
Here a little throwback to Frankfurt though… Because getting to hear L***r Messiah live is a rare treat you just don’t get every day! 👑 Drop a ⚔️ if you were at any of the German shows!

Still laughing about this 💀 Antony Szmierek jumped this weekend into the crowd in The Netherlands, looked me dead in the eye, and literally stole someone’s sunglasses mid-song 😂 If you’re gonna lose your glasses, losing them to an absolute legend while he’s crowd-surfing is the only acceptable way. What a set ! 🙌🔥

🐕🇬🇧 Fat Dog absolutely tore the King King stage apart at today! 💥
If you weren’t in the tent for that massive sitdown, did you even festival? The energy was pure, unadulterated madness. Netherlands, you understood the assignment. 🇳🇱🙌
Mark our words: this band is going to be absolutely massive. Don’t sleep on them.
