16-30 April
Yeah, we know, what the fuck? I don’t know if we’ve been even more lenient than usual towards commercial events or stuff that we don’t really know about (don’t worry, we still managed to filter out bands that promote themselves by having performed for US troops), but then again, there is loads of stuff happening that is verrrry exciting! In any case, don’t forget about maybe even more exciting things like hyperreality and donaufestival coming up real soon so we hope you all manage to not let this excessive vernal burgeoning of gigs suck the money and energy and time out of you more than you need and want. Also this month you’ll have to check schalltaucherin.com and klingt.org yourselves because damn this was a lot of listings to do already.
See you around <3
