Filed under: ReBoot Festival — Tags: , , , , , , , , — admin @ 10:18 am

Next week, Viva Music team is going to be in Budapest, to witness an awesome festival: Industrial Booom – ReBoot Festival, in Budapest’s Barba Negra Music Club. We will give you more news on the way, as well as updates while we are there. Lastly, we will provide you with a review of the event shortly after its completion.

Black Head Agency presents Industrial Booom – ReBoot Festival between April 27 and 29: three days with a great lineup in Budapest’s Barba Negra Music Club (Prielle Kornélia u. 4.). It’s not the first time the festival happens, last year’s edition was one we are sorry to have missed: still in late April, acts such as Vomito Negro, Suicide Commando, Blitzmaschine, or The Klinik provided during the 3-day festival sufficient entertainment for the dark crowd.

Industrial Booom – Reboot Festival in Budapest April 27-29: 50 Days Left

Filed under: ReBoot Festival — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 11:32 am

Our friends from Blackhead Agency were so nice to edit a Romanian version of the Industrial Booom – Reboot Festival flyer. This is gladdening news, and we hope to see many of our conationals at the festival! After all, it’s a vital event for our regional scene, and it gives the floor to a lot of acts we love.

And this is the event info in review:

Blackhead Agency is happy to present attendees and potential attendees of Industrial Booom who have not yet made up their mind to come and enjoy the 3-day frenzy of their Budapest festival a once in a lifetime opportunity: to be part of the event, not only as audience, but also team up and gain access backstage for 3 days, to meet and greet their favorite artists and spend the festival time in a unique atmosphere. All is possible due to the recently added option of a VIP ticket (priced at 30,000 HUF/100 EUR) which will instantly make you the star of the event. With a VIP ticket, you’re not only a guest with full rights, but also a host! What’s more, your name will be aired before the shows, in the list of friends of Industrial Booom Reboot Festival who chose to help an ideal festival lineup stay up and running.

Due to recent upsetting news of Malev breakdown, alternative flights had to be found for the fifteen acts which will spray dark paint over Budapest for three days. This affects the initial budget of the festival and the hopes of open-minded and hard-working organizers to keep the faith, but the festival must go on and this is where you can help.

Just a reminder, here are the festival details and awesome lineup that are in store for visitors of Industrial Booom 2012 in Budapest.

Therefore, the calendar date for Letzte Instanz, Zeraphine, Corvux Corax and Staubkind in Hannover’s Capitol is canceled. Ticket holders can opt for the Berlin or Dortmund days of the Autumn Ball, or alternatively return to the point of sale of their tickets for refunds, inform festival organizers.

Autumn Ball continues however with two out of the three dates initially planned, as Dortmund’s FZW takes up the autumn feel with Letzte Instanz, Tanzwut, Coppelius and Staubkind on Sep-30, while Berlin’s Huxley’s Neue Welt delights their audience with the same lineup – the perfect choice for fans of gothic, medieval and folk-rock.

Tickets for each of the two evenings are still available at Eur 26,- plus booking fee at the online shops of Protain and Amphi Festival, as well as via Eventim ticket counters and website. More information is made available regularly on the festival’s website and their Facebook page.

4 New Bands Confirmed at Amphi Festival 2011

Filed under: Amphi Festival — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — admin @ 6:57 pm

New bands confirmed for the Amphi Festival 2011:

The first new entry not only offers a profound measure to give the chills to your neighbour at the next traffic light, AGONOIZE are in any respect on top of their game! Especially in providing adrenaline-pumped electro sound, there are very few to teach the heavy machinery specialists from Berlin a lesson. Reinforced by visual splatter effects AGONOIZE are infamous for their rough-edged stage performances and nothing for the faint-hearted!

 

All quiet at the Amphi-front? Not in the slightest! The industrial-bombers FEINDFLUG always enjoy to deliver an action-packed show. After literally laying the Amphi stage in ashes in 2009, Felix and Banane are returning with a sonic thunderstorm, to commemorate the horrors of the World War II.
