Front Line Assembly cancels all shows this summer, therefore there will be no FLA show at Amphi. Here is the official band statement: “After much thought and considering we regret to inform our fans that we will be unable to perform at any summer shows we are currently booked for. After an extensive tranche of shows supporting our last record we have to decided to spend next year focusing on writing and delivering new albums; an instrumental of tracks that will be featured in the videogame AirMech from Carbon Games, a new full length LP, and possibly a new Noise Unit record. Our apologies to any promoters/fans this may affect in a negative manner, we look forward to releasing new material and playing shows further down the road. All the best, FLA“
Conjure One/Rhys Fulber will perform a special live set at Amphi Festival. Rhys Fulber, known as long-time member and producer of many classic FLA tunes will perform a unique set, including Conjure One and Delirium tracks, as well as a selection of Front Line Assembly classics that have not been played live in recent years.

Mattias Anger, Label Manager/Complete Control Productions: “I’m happy to inform you that Complete Control Productions have signed the Danish duo Arzt+Pfusch. Since their last release S.I.C.K. in 2007, Dr. A-Funz has been re-joined by Der Doktor as lyricist and singer. They have spent the last two years working on their fourth album “Lictor Evaporated”, which will be released by CCP in late September. A single will be out during the summer. The album is described by Dr. A-Funz as: “Dark, bombastic, orchestral, 4×4 on the floor, long ambient breaks, very “bassline centered”, and very poppy choruses. I extend a warm welcome to Arzt+Pfusch on behalf of the entire label crew.”
A word from the organizers: What to expect from the largest Middle- and Eastern European fest since 1994? “One big open-air stage in the main court yard of the Castle and two smaller stages in clubs – add to that a DJ club!” And the attractions? “Concerts, of course, belly dancers, fashion shows as well as pyrotechnics“.
