Eisbrecher - Kaltfront Show 2026

POWERFUL NDH-COLD FRONT

Weather change at Eisbrecher. The successful representatives of Neue Deutsche Härte are coming to Z7 for an exclusive Swiss show with their album "Kaltfront°!". The 2026 tour promises yet again exhilarating energy, strong stage presence, old and new hits, and the perfect mix of power and elegance.

With "Kaltfront°!", Eisbrecher made a convincing return in March 2025. The tenth studio album marks a new beginning after challenging years, during which the band had to reinvent itself both personally and musically. The latest work elevates the band to a new level. The songs are uncompromising, loud, and at the same time imbued with emotional depth that captivates the listener immediately. Singer and frontman Alexander Wesselsky describes "Kaltfront°!" as "the album I always wanted to make" – an impressive testament to resilience, musical evolution, and unbroken passion. "Kaltfront°!" unites Eisbrecher's characteristic hardness with elements of EBM, metal, and epic rock anthems.

Since their founding 23 years ago, Eisbrecher has established themselves as a fixture in the German rock scene. Their albums "Sturmfahrt" (2017) and "Liebe macht Monster" (2021) reached number 1 on the charts. The concert tours cemented their reputation as a titanic live force. With the current album "Kaltfront°!", Eisbrecher is crushing the world's lethargy and delivering a strong message. Powerful, hard, and with sarcastic humor, "Kaltfront°!" is a ruthless stocktaking of our current society. Metal Hammer writes about the work: "Eisbrecher sound as if they've had a fresh cell treatment: The songs storm forward, kick ass, and groove like hell. Moreover, Alex is in top lyrical form and addresses topics in almost every new song that are on all our minds."

Das Kriminal Dinner - Krimidinner mit Kitzel für Nerven und Gaumen

Culinary enjoyment and thrills: Guests at the Hotel Krone Unterstrass in Zurich are offered quite a lot: exquisitely served, spontaneously staged. Das Kriminal Dinner – this is a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish setting framed by a crime play:

Until the Last Sip

Mr. Hektor Entenbi is dead! Since you were related to or acquainted with the deceased, his closest friend has invited you to the meeting during the shared dinner: the police investigation is ongoing and has been insufficient so far. However, before you are brought up to date on the current investigation status, the life of the deceased must first be reconstructed. Not a problem, really, if it weren’t for that sudden second death.

Who killed Mr. Entenbi? And why? What do the two deaths have in common?
The commissioned private investigator Mrs. Marbel and her assistant Mr. Stinker have their hands full: they question witnesses, examine evidence, and have Mrs. Marbel's sister read cards for them. In the end, however, it is the attendees who initiate the turning point.

The two improv artists spontaneously involve the attendees in the comedy crime, using a variety of expressive means, playing several characters, and having a keen sense of the present audience. Unpredictable developments, astonishing twists, and up until the last sip...

The seductive multi-course menu is served and created by the kitchen team at Hotel Krone Unterstrass. The thrill for nerves and palate starts at 7 p.m., with admission from 6:30 p.m.

Admission: 6:30 p.m. / Menu and play are included in the price / Table and seating are assigned on-site.

Strange Kind Of Women - The World’s Only All-Female

DEEP PURPLE - MADE IN ITALY

All good things come in threes: After the celebrated shows in autumn 2024 and December 2025, the world's only all-female Deep Purple tribute band Strange Kind of Women will return to the Z7 in 2026. The five musicians will bring the magic of the British hard rock legend authentically and with unbridled joy to our venue once again on September 18.

Only a few tribute bands manage to actually come close to their role models in show and sound. Strange Kind of Women deliver outstanding work that has been praised by fans and critics alike. What the rock ladies are capable of was personally experienced by Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice. At a concert in Graz, he couldn't resist rocking out with Strange Kind of Women. Afterwards, he said, "It's really great fun to play with them. They do a fantastic job, have a great sound, and give their all on stage. I really enjoyed the joint performance." The band members are all professional musicians who have already celebrated success with various other formations. Band leader and guitarist Eliana Cargnelutti is the great new hope of the Italian blues-rock scene. The Italian-Canadian singer Victoria Moro aka Ronnie Grace acts as the frontwoman. They are accompanied by Chiara Cotugno (drums), Margherita Gruden (Hammond, keys), and Paola Zadra (bass). When Deep Purple co-founded the hard rock scene in the 70s with songs like "Highway Star," "Child In Time," or "Smoke On The Water," the five musicians had not yet been born. However, for the past few years, they have been expressing their love for this music in passionate stage performances, providing an exhilarating impression of the work of the iconic rock formation that was founded in London in 1968. In September 2024, SKOW first took the stage at the Z7. Our in-house chroniclers diebuehrers.com reported enthusiastically: "The five power women not only brought the legendary sounds of Deep Purple to the stage but also the atmosphere of a time when rock was still raw and untamed" and added: "Strange Kind of Women delivered a tribute that not only honored the songs of Deep Purple but also reflected their energy and soul extremely authentically."

Eric Steckel

EXPLOSIVE BLUES-ROCK STORM

With his untamed guitar power, soulful vocals, and fine mix of blues and hard rock, Eric Steckel will be performing at Z7 again this year. The new album “Sandstorm” (Release: April 2026) showcases the musician more focused and explosive than ever. Heavy riffs, intense solos, and contemporary songwriting merge into a modern, powerful sound that excites both blues purists and hard rock fans.

Although he is only in his mid-30s, Eric Steckel already enjoys cult status in the international guitar scene and has an impressive resume. His debut album “A Few Degrees Warmer” was recorded live in April 2002 when he was just eleven years old. It didn’t take long for Eric to perform at the Sarasota Blues Festival, where his performance quickly became the talk of the day. And before the night was over, the newcomer was introduced by British blues-rock legend John Mayall as the youngest guitarist to ever take the stage with his Bluesbreakers. Steckel is a gifted musician who sometimes records an album almost entirely on his own and takes responsibility for piano, organ, bass, guitars, vocals, and production in the studio. With over 20 years of experience on stage and in the studio, Eric consistently delivers his characteristic blend of rock, blues, and blues metal to guitar lovers worldwide.

In October 2025, Steckel appeared with his power trio for the first time at Z7. Anyone who experienced the incredible show will surely not want to miss the concert next September. With the song “When It Rains, It Pours,” the exceptional artist gave a first taste of the new album “Sandstorm”: emotional vocals meet dynamic arrangements and a guitar sound that is raw, modern, and unmistakably Eric Steckel. The powerful production of the new songs was handled by Dan Malsch (Ghost, Gojira, Avenged Sevenfold, among others). With the album release in April, Steckel will kick off the World Tour 2026, where he will present the new material live. Fans can look forward to intense, energetic shows where Eric Steckel will not only introduce the brand-new titles but also perform selected highlights from his previous releases.

Culinary enjoyment and thrills: Guests at the Hotel Seepark in Thun are offered a lot: exquisitely served, spontaneously staged. The COMEDY Kriminal Dinner – this is a delightful multi-course menu in a stylish ambiance framed by a crime play:

"Chief Inspector Schröder investigates"

The new "Kriminal COMEDY Dinner" piece by the two successful authors of "Testament à la Carte" revolves around the quirky Chief Inspector Schröder, who must solve a mysterious murder. Of course, he does this while thoroughly taxing the audience’s laughter muscles.

Chief Inspector Schröder rushes to the crime scene, exactly on his birthday, and almost becomes a victim of a violent crime himself. Good thing he had come up with a code word with his new colleague Pit Zimmermann. His incompetent boss, forensics, and his "charming" mother are meanwhile making his life difficult, and as if that weren’t enough, Susi has now also gone missing – who is Susi??

Whether Chief Inspector Schröder can solve this tangled case, you’ll find out best for yourself.

New to the program: There is now a lot of handmade music in the "Comedy Krimi Dinner," which the two multi-talents skillfully incorporate into the plot. After all, the guests should get what they deserve:

SEM: Espionage - Extortion - Murder, or Spinaci, Espresso, Morte (as the Italian says.)

A two-person piece with 16 characters. Nine roles are played by the two actors themselves, while the other 7 willingly come from the audience.

The seductive multi-course menu is served and created by the kitchen team at Hotel Seepark. The thrill for nerves and taste buds starts at 7 PM, with entry from 6:30 PM.

Entry: 6:30 PM / Menu and theater piece are included in the price / Table and seating arrangements will be assigned on site.

NEW ALBUM OF THE SYMPHONIC METAL QUEEN

Finland's most popular soprano voice, Tarja Turunen, returns to the Z7 with brand new material. After two celebrated "Living The Dream" greatest hits shows, during which she reflected on her successful career, we are excited to welcome the iconic metal singer back in October with her brand new album.

Over the past three years, Tarja Turunen has been touring with her "Living The Dream" greatest hits tours. Sometimes solo, sometimes together with her old Nightwish companion Marko Hietala. In between, she was a guest at "Rock Meets Classics" and gave festive Christmas concerts. But now the time is ripe for the next chapter in the singer's career. After seven long years, a new studio album by Tarja will be released in spring 2026. In autumn, the big album release tour will follow, bringing the artist to the Z7 on October 9th with her new material.

As a soprano, composer, and songwriter, co-founder, voice, and face of Nightwish, Tarja Turunen has significantly shaped the genre of Symphonic Metal for nine years. During this time, she was awarded numerous gold and platinum awards and was crowned the queen of the genre. After leaving the band, Tarja launched a successful solo career, resulting in six metal albums as well as several classical works and live releases. Her extraordinary abilities also led Tarja to fantastic collaborations. She has performed with shock rock legend Alice Cooper, symphonic colleagues Within Temptation, the German electronic artist Schiller, metal queen Doro Pesch, and the British "Father of Tubular Bells" Mike Oldfield, among others. However, the unique blend of Tarja's classical and rock influences continues to be best showcased in her solo releases. We look forward to album number seven and another fantastic symphonic metal night at the Z7.

Storace & Special Guests - Marc Storace’s 75th Birthday Bash

MARC STORACE – 75 YEARS OF ROCK
Marc Storace’s 75th Birthday Bash – A Rock Legend Celebration

75 years of Marc Storace. A voice that has written rock history. In October 2026, the legendary singer will celebrate his milestone birthday with a very special evening at Z7: a unique Birthday Bash full of hard rock, companions, and musical surprises. A celebration for fans – and for a career that is unmatched.

Born on October 7, 1951, in Malta, Marc Storace became one of the most influential voices in European hard rock. With Krokus, he certainly made music history and shaped the sound of an entire scene for decades.

After a brief forced pause during the pandemic, Storace opened a new chapter and founded Storace – a project that gave him creative freedom and consistently developed his musical signature. The albums Live And Let Live (2021) and Crossfire (2024) showcased a singer at the peak of his art: rough, charismatic, and unmistakable.

His 75th birthday will now be the occasion for a special evening at Z7. The concert evening is deliberately divided into two parts: First, a regular set with STORACE, followed by a second part that is all about surprises. Musicians who have accompanied Marc Storace on his journey or are particularly close to him will join him on stage. Who will be there exactly? We won’t reveal it all at once.

Big Big Train - The Woodcut & Other Stories Tour 2026

PROG AROUND THE WORLD

The British retro-prog formation Big Big Train will come to Pratteln in autumn 2026. With the comprehensive concert recording “Are We Nearly There Yet? – Live Around The World”, the band released an exciting documentation of their last tours in October 2025. On the upcoming European tour, the band will once again present songs from all phases of their three-and-a-half-decade career.

Big Big Train continues to demonstrate high productivity even after 35 years: For the past 10 years, at least one studio and/or live album has been released each year. The amount does not detract from the quality. The creativity of the musicians remains unbroken. Founded in 1990 in Bournemouth, Big Big Train has become internationally successful protagonists of the progressive rock genre with 17 studio albums, various EPs, and live releases, and can look back on high international chart positions (#1 in the UK rock charts), various prestigious awards (4-time winners of the Progressive Music Awards), and countless sold-out concerts. Big Big Train remains true to their roots but also explores new paths. They incorporate influences from various genres and assert themselves as skilled boundary crossers between pop, rock, and prog in the style of English bands from the early 70s. In September 2023, Big Big Train last performed at Z7 with their “The Journey Continues Tour.” The colleagues from diebuehrers.com wrote about the live spectacle: “The 7-member band and their additional brass section immediately showed why they rightfully storm the charts. The multi-talented international band from Great Britain, the USA, Italy, Sweden, and Norway consisted of lead singer Alberto Bravin (PFM), drummer Nick D'Virgilio (Genesis, Spock's Beard, Tears For Fears), guitarist/keyboardist Rikard Sjöblom (Beardfish, Gungfly), violinist Clare Lindley (Stackridge), bassist Gregory Spawton, keyboardist Oskar Holldorff (Dim Gray), and the rising guitar star Maria Barbieri. With a varied setlist, the band offered a great selection of classics and, of course, songs from their new album ‘Ingenious Devices’. It was a really strong rolling prog train.” Meanwhile, another studio album titled “The Likes Of Us” has been added in 2024. In October 2025, the live recording “Are We Nearly There Yet? – Live Around The World” followed, documenting the British band's fantastic concerts from recent years. For this, Gregory Spawton and exceptional singer Alberto Bravin selected the best recordings from the past tours. Among them are Big-Big-Train favorites and current tracks, captured before enthusiastic fans in the USA, UK, and Europe.

CoreLeoni & Tyketto - Rock’n’Roll Salvation Tour 2026

HARD ROCK ANTHEMS AT YOUR DISPOSAL

With CoreLeoni, one of the most successful Swiss hard rock bands of the present is on stage at Z7. The project, initiated by Gotthard founding member Leo Leoni, has been thrilling audiences for years with an exhilarating mix of timeless hard rock anthems and fresh new material. As co-headliners, they bring the 90s heroes Tyketto with their brand new album to Pratteln.

CORELEONI: When Leo Leoni founded CoreLeoni in 2017, he aimed to breathe new life into the songs from Gotthard's early years. What started as a tribute to the formative years of one of the most successful Swiss rock bands quickly developed into an independent band with international acclaim. Alongside reinterpreted classics, original compositions soon found their place in the repertoire. With the previous studio albums, CoreLeoni has established itself as a fixture in melodic hard rock, captivating audiences with powerful guitars, great melodies, and top-notch songwriting. Since 2022, the exceptional Albanian singer Eugent Bushpepa has been on vocals, adding his own unique touch to the songs with his powerful voice. Together with Leo Leoni, guitarist Jgor Gianola, bassist Mila Merker, and drummer Alex Motta, they form a cohesive group that impresses on stage with joy, virtuosity, and passion. The current album "Generation Rock" seamlessly follows the previous releases and blends classic hard rock with contemporary energy. Live, fans can look forward to a cross-section of the band's previous work – featuring legendary songs from the early Gotthard era as well as the strongest original compositions from CoreLeoni.

TYKETTO: In the early 90s, they were one of the most promising bands of melodic hard rock. With the albums "Don’t Come Easy" (1991) and "Strength in Numbers" (1994), the group led by exceptional singer Danny Vaughn was well on its way to the top of the scene. However, the rise of grunge dealt a death blow to 80s hard rock and prevented the band from achieving monumental success. Frustrated and disillusioned, Tyketto disbanded after the release of their third studio album "Shine" in 1996. To the delight of fans, a new studio album, "Dig In Deep," was finally released in 2012. Since then, the band has been back on stage. In 2016, they followed up with another strong album, "Reach," showcasing that Vaughn is still a brilliant songwriter. After a long dry spell, another Tyketto work titled "Closer To The Sun" will finally be released in spring 2026. Alongside Vaughn, Harry Scott Elliott on guitar, Ged Rylands on keyboards, Chris Childs (Thunder) on bass, and Johnny Dee (Doro) on drums contribute significantly. On "Closer To The Sun," Tyketto addresses real-life themes of love, loss, and pleasure. From the anthemic tribute to the power of love in the title track to the powerful rawness of "Hit Me Where It Hurts" and the power ballad "The Picture," Tyketto confidently continues to traverse the familiar melodic rock terrain that has made them great. With "Closer To The Sun," Tyketto reaffirms their place among the most respected and enduring names in the scene. On the upcoming tour, Vaughn and his band will combine the greatest gems from their 90s repertoire with highlights from their current albums.

Basement Saints

ROCK’N’ROLL-UPROAR FROM SWITZERLAND

With a gritty vintage sound, modern energy, and explosive live shows, Basement Saints are on their way to securing a solid place in the European rock scene. The Swiss trio brings the spirit of Deep Purple & Co. into the here and now.

Basement Saints are the best proof that it does not take much to create great rock’n’roll: guitar, Hammond organ, and drums are enough to create a sound that feels both familiar and fresh. Inspired by legends like Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Steppenwolf, or The Doors, the band combines classic rock with a modern attitude that also excites fans of Rival Sons, Dirty Honey, or Marcus King.

The international origins of the band – with roots in South Africa, Austria, and Switzerland – are reflected in their musical diversity as well as their uncompromising work ethic. In a short time, the trio has built a remarkable live reputation. Countless shows as headliners, support acts, and at festivals in Switzerland, Germany, and Spain speak a clear language. Their acclaimed album “Down South” has been positively received by critics and has led to radio airplay and strong streaming numbers.

Especially on stage, Basement Saints show what they are made of: energetic, intense, and with a joy of playing that is instantly contagious. Their concerts are not a nostalgic time travel but a powerful rock experience in the here and now – honest, loud, and with plenty of groove. A must-see for all who love handcrafted rock.

Rosalie Cunningham - Rosalie Cunningham + The Universe By Ear

LIMITLESS DIVERSITY

Rosalie Cunningham is considered one of the greatest musical talents in Great Britain. Classic Rock magazine exclaims: “If Kate Bush and The Beatles had a joint baby, it would be Rosalie Cunningham,” and Metal Hammer knows: “Rosalie Cunningham is a rockstar.” In October, the multifaceted artist will come to Switzerland with her fascinating mix of rock, folk, prog, jazz, goth, and pop.

Rosalie Cunningham is a musical all-round talent. At the tender age of 16, the Brit founded the psychedelic rock girl quartet Ipso Facto in 2007, which made waves with four singles. This was followed by various jobs as a backing vocalist and keyboardist for bands such as Magazine, The Last Shadow Puppets, Cathedral, or These New Puritans. As a guitarist, she was part of Willy Moon's band and toured as the opening act for Jack White. In 2011, Rosalie Cunningham founded the psychedelic band Purson, only to explore new paths again after six exciting years. Rosalie wrote countless songs that she began performing under her own name starting in 2019. Critics' acclaim quickly followed; her self-titled debut album made its way into annual best-of lists in several European countries. The "Prog" magazine even ranked her among the ten best female musicians of all time, and in a reader survey, Cunningham was voted the best singer. Over the years, the music has become more intricate, with songwriting not relying on gimmicks but captivating through a range of sounds and both vocal and instrumental excellence. The artist can hardly be pigeonholed stylistically. She proves this with her current work "To Shoot Another Day," which offers rock between psychedelic and metal with numerous musical flirts. Betreutesproggen.de wrote: “With all her compositional skills, she can make her music sound complex or slightly jazzy without really being jazz; it is the voice of the singer-songwriter that stands out. It is versatile and swings effortlessly from almost whispering to powerful-raw, which not many female singers can achieve.” And Saitenkult.de asks: “Why should anyone not enjoy this rock, folk, prog, jazz, goth, and pop, this psychedelic mix of Jinx Dawson and Lana Lane? This psychedelic sound between Music Hall and Birmingham heaviness does not need to be categorized. Rosalie Cunningham and her collaborators simply need to be heard.”

Fischer-Z - 50th Anniversary Tour

CELEBRATE WITH FISCHER-Z

Passionate, political, determined. And above all: an artist. John Watts is Fischer-Z. A musical concept and creative vehicle that has experienced many incarnations. In 2026, Watts will celebrate half a century of music on stage with Fischer-Z: The “50th Anniversary Tour” offers a best-of set featuring highlights from the band's rich repertoire, supplemented with current tracks.

2026 will be a big year for Fischer-Z. The band was founded 50 years ago by singer, guitarist, and poet John Watts in the English town of Sandhurst. Under his leadership, Fischer-Z became a staple of the New Wave and post-punk scene in the late 70s and early 80s. With classics like “The Worker,” “So Long,” “Marliese,” “Red Skies Over Paradise,” and “Room Service,” the band has profoundly influenced several generations of music lovers. Fischer-Z were successful across Europe and sold over two million albums. They collaborated with Peter Gabriel, Steve Cropper, and Dexys Midnight Runners. They performed alongside James Brown in East Berlin and toured with The Police and Dire Straits. They also accompanied Bob Marley on his last festival tour across Europe and toured in the USA and Canada. In 1982, Watts disbanded Fischer-Z to pursue a solo career. He revived the name Fischer-Z in 1987 with a new lineup. John Watts has since released 26 albums and played around 4000 concerts with his band or as a solo artist. New material continues to be released regularly. Most recently, “Triptych” was released in May 2024. The current Fischer-Z studio album marks a return to familiar sounds and themes with new freshness and provides an impressive retrospective of John Watts' life and previous career. Watts has found, as a constantly reinventing artist, that many of his works over the last 50 years of his musical career repeatedly address the same driving themes that are just as relevant today as they were 50 years ago: Love, Power, People - and how they interact with one another. In the anniversary shows of the “50th Anniversary Tour” across Europe, Watts and his companions will present us a best-of set featuring classics from the extensive Fischer-Z discography.

Shakra - Just Live Loud! Tour 2026

JUST LIVE LOUD

The Swiss rockers Shakra are returning to the Z7 on October 23, 2026, with a new album. Under the programmatic title "Just Live Loud," they present fresh songs and bundle everything that has shaped the band over three decades. “Become who you are,” Shakra quotes Friedrich Nietzsche – and makes it clear: This chapter is more than just another release. It is a statement. An evening for all those who don’t just listen to rock but live it.

For over 30 years, Shakra has been steadily steering their course through the ups and downs of the music business. Line-up changes, pandemic breaks, changing trends – none of this has ever veered the band off their path. Instead, an unmistakable sound universe between hard rock and metal has emerged, which has consistently evolved without denying its roots. The success speaks for itself: Since 2007, all studio albums have landed in the top ranks of the Swiss charts, with "Invincible" even reaching number 1. But after all these years, Shakra is not about being louder than others or chasing trends. It’s about being clearer. More authentic.

"Just Live Loud" is not just an album title, but an attitude. Not waiting for the right moment to come. Not getting quieter to fit in somewhere. Making mistakes, getting up, moving on. Living out freedom – to the fullest. With new songs in their luggage and an ever-growing selection of anthems from three decades, Shakra will deliver the full blast in 2026 as well. Those who move strive for their goals – and those who carry rock in their hearts know: This evening at the Z7 is not meant for standing still. JUST LIVE LOUD.

The Watch plays Genesis - Tales from 1970 - 1976

REISE INS HERZ DER FRÜHEN GENESIS

In the 70s, the English band Genesis was one of the Big Four of Progressive Rock alongside King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and Yes. The Italian band The Watch takes us on a trip to the early days of the influential prog rockers. With “Tales from 1970 - 1976,” they dive deep into the time when Peter Gabriel was the frontman of Genesis.

Turning back time to experience the magic of a 70s rock concert. That is exactly what The Watch from Italy makes possible. The internationally celebrated prog rock band brings the music of the early Genesis era to the stage with impressive authenticity. In intense, detail-loving performances, they revive the feeling and sound of the Gabriel era. Even before Genesis celebrated their worldwide breakthrough, the musicians were a class of their own. Their songs from this era are today considered milestones of Progressive Rock. The Watch ensures that these classics can be experienced live again. They are not just a mere copy; rather, they capture the creative energy and pioneering spirit of those years with impressive precision and passion. Singer Simone Rossetti’s voice is astonishingly close to the young Gabriel, and the entire band impresses with masterful instrumental artistry. Guided by the motto “Take a little trip back from 'Trespass’ to 'Wind And Wuthering’,” The Watch delivers a show that leaves no desires unfulfilled, especially not for fans. Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett personally gave his verbal endorsement: “The Watch is a band with very talented musicians. I can only highly recommend them.” In the UK-Prog newsletter, it was noted: “What is unique is the voice - so remarkably similar to that of the young Peter Gabriel.” And ECHO-News UK stated: “It’s like a time machine for those who loved going to concerts in the 70s and want to feel that atmosphere once again.” No other tribute band manages to capture the musical adventurousness and high tension of Genesis during their pioneering days with such emotional power.

Threshold - Hypothetical 25th Anniversary Tour

PROG-POWER PUR

For nearly four decades, the British progressive metal kings Threshold have consistently delivered high-quality material. In 2026, they will celebrate a major anniversary. With the “Hypothetical - 25th Anniversary Tour,” we will enjoy one of the strongest albums from the South English band. Additionally, there will be other classics and fan favorites from Threshold, along with a top-notch special guest in the supporting act.

They are the undisputed kings of British prog metal. Founded in 1988 by guitarist Karl Groom in Southern England, Threshold has always been a unique endeavor. Driven by youthful confidence and enthusiasm, the band quickly developed into Britain’s leading force in the realm of progressive metal. Now, nearly four decades have passed, and Threshold continues to hold strong at the top of the scene. From early works like “Wounded Land” (1993) and “Psychedelicatessen” (1994) to the triumph of more recent successful albums like “For The Journey” (2014) and “Legends Of The Shires” (2017), and most recently “Dividing Lines” (2022), the band has continually demonstrated their impressive songwriting qualities, which have never been swayed by fleeting trends. Thus, the band remains a driving institution within the genre.

In 2001, Threshold released one of their most important albums with their fifth studio full-length “Hypothetical.” Metal.de was inspired by what they heard to write a superlative review: “'Hypothetical' is the best progressive metal album I have come across in two years. Even the last Ayreon double album falls short in comparison. Yet 'Hypothetical' is by no means a CD solely for musicians. The songs are so catchy and melodic that even 'ordinary' listeners should have no trouble grasping the material.” This primarily distinguishes the band from their big American counterparts Dream Theater: While the latter tends to go big, showy, and flaunt virtuosity, Threshold adopts a subtly British approach on “Hypothetical,” using their instrumental abilities to deliver one classy song after another. This milestone will have been around for 25 years by 2026. A perfect reason to honor the timeless opus with a tour and once again dive deep into the fascinating sound world of “Hypothetical.”

Clawfinger - Before We All Die Tour

FURIOUS SOUNDS FROM THE RAP-METAL PRIMEVAL

For over 30 years, Clawfinger has belonged to the top tier of the international crossover scene. With their hits, they have shaped the scene like hardly any other band. On Halloween Saturday, the Swedish-Norwegian genre pioneers will come to our concert venue with their new studio album "Before We All Die" and numerous hits from their long career.

Clawfinger burst onto the international music scene in 1993 with a loud bang. Their debut album "Deaf Dumb Blind" became a worldwide success with tracks like "Nigger," "The Truth," and "Warfair," and is still considered a groundbreaking milestone today. Clawfinger not only created a new music style with their mix of metal, rap, and electronic elements but also addressed socially critical and unvarnished issues in their songs: Clawfinger managed to speak to an entire generation's soul. Today, the profound hit factory of the crossover scene enjoys absolute cult status. The last album "Life Will Kill You" is already 18 years old, but now there is finally new material: "Before We All Die" (Release February 20, 2026) is the name of the new studio record. Frontman Zak Tell is back with hard-hitting lyrics: "This is not about peace. This is about spreading the truth, no matter how terrible it may be. And that's exactly why we do it." Clawfinger addresses topics such as environmental destruction, political hypocrisy, and personal disillusionment up to collective denial on "Before We All Die." "This album consists of one-third protest, one-third therapy, and one-third middle finger," he adds. "Unfortunately, we can't just pull solutions out of the hat, but at least we rebel because being silent would mean the end for all of us." Already the first single "Scum" clearly shows the direction they are going. The band criticizes corrupt leaders, feigned morality, and the growing mob driven by right-wing ideologies. Zak: "'Scum' is a raw, loud, and brutally honest punk-rap track that hits hard. It targets those who are selfish, sexist, and narcissistic and won’t stop talking. With razor-sharp lyrics and a beat like a punch to the face, 'Scum' says exactly what we think about those guys who should just disappear. The song is immensely angry, dark, and direct. If you've ever wanted to spit in someone's face but lacked the courage or it was socially unacceptable, then this track is just right for you."

The year 1999 is coming to an end. The old hippies Sabine and Michi are still trapped in the flower power era. They are slowly longing for change – they are ripe for the island. The invitation to the big millennium party "HIGH END" on the tiny island of Hellegraskog comes just in time.

With and in the grass, there is heartfelt and substantive work on oneself.

But then the unimaginable happens - a murder amidst the atmosphere of love, peace, and bliss. A lifeless figure lies in the white sand. Who pushed Marie Juana over the cliff?

Black Sabbitch - All Female Black Sabbath Tribute

BACK TO THE BEGINNING

"We don't just want to play Black Sabbath, we want to feel Black Sabbath from the bottom of our hearts." With this intent, the American all-female formation Black Sabbitch returns to Z7 two years after their celebrated Swiss premiere to once again immerse us in the early songs of the British metal pioneers deep into the seventies.

Black Sabbitch is not an ordinary tribute band. The four ladies from the USA impress even die-hard Sabbath devotees and have earned the respect of critics and musicians alike. They were personally invited by Sharon Osbourne to open for Ozzy. They rocked on the iconic Kiss-Cruise, as well as at the legendary Cal Jam with Iggy Pop and the Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl shortly thereafter shared photos of the band's performance on his social media channels and wrote, "We were fascinated and listened intently." By now, Black Sabbitch has become a true festival favorite, regularly performing with some of the biggest acts in the world or thrilling Black Sabbath fans at their intense club shows. They often present varying setlists consisting of all-time classics and long-forgotten gems from the iconic Ozzy phase of the legends from the working-class city of Birmingham. "We are not an ordinary tribute band. We are the female Black Sabbath," confidently states Angie Scarpa, the drummer of Black Sabbitch. Founded fourteen years ago in LA, the musicians do not simply want to cover Black Sabbath's songs. "Since I have always been a huge fan of the band, I didn't want to just play covers in another boring ‘Hey, we sound like their records’ band. It had to feel right from the start. Just like it must have felt to see and hear Black Sabbath in 1972." With their concerts, the ladies regularly manage to transport their fans back to the seventies. With songs from the early days, when Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward traveled from the West Midlands to the wide world to make music history with their innovative, heavy, and dark rock sound. In the summer of 2013, Black Sabbitch played their very first show in West Hollywood. Since then, the quartet has been regularly touring the USA. In 2022, they expanded their activities to the UK, and in 2024, they performed at Wacken and played additional dates on the European mainland, including the Swiss premiere at Z7. Diebuehrers.com judged the performance in November 2024: "With strong stage presence and enormous musical ability, they powerfully showcased the dark and heavy sounds of songs like ‘War Pigs’ and ‘Children of the Grave’" and "the audience celebrated every minute of this intense set."

SYMPHONIC POWER IN PRATTELN

For the sixteenth time, the Americans Kamelot will perform in our concert factory in the fall of 2026. Over the past three and a half decades, the Americans have earned a reputation as one of the most influential and innovative Melodic Power & Symphonic Metal bands in the world. On November 6, 2026, they will come to the Z7 with their classics, a brand-new studio album, and guests Exit Eden and Temperance. A hot autumn night is guaranteed!

In April 2025, Kamelot posted a concert photo from the Z7 on their social media channels with the following text: “Switzerland!! See you in 2026!!” And yes, they are coming back to us at the Z7! On November 6, Kamelot will present new songs and a new stage show. With their unique blend of Symphonic, Melodic, and Power Metal, the US band is one of the most successful in the scene. Kamelot has already played ahead of Nightwish and Within Temptation at the top level. Founded in 1991, Kamelot has grown with the Z7. What first made its mark in Switzerland in 1998 as a curious young band became an act that was often featured on Viva and MTV and is now indispensable in the metal scene. In November 2026, the quintet will take the stage at the Z7 for the sixteenth time. Over the years, the band, centered around the last remaining founding member Thomas Youngblood, has refined their sound from album to album. Almost unusually for an American band, the group presents European songs that obtain a bombastic touch with opulent orchestral parts. In the world of hard rock, Kamelot occupies a very special position: Their sophisticated Melodic Metal has always cleverly opened up to related styles, integrating progressive elements as well as references to Doom/Gothic Metal or classical music, thereby establishing a genre of their own. Two years after their last Z7 show, Kamelot will return to Pratteln with new songs, a new stage show, and a great line-up to celebrate their 35th anniversary with fans.

Yes, you read correctly, the famous master detective Sherlock Holmes and myself, Dr. Watson, have found ourselves in Swabia. Admittedly, not entirely voluntarily. But our genius could not decline the invitation of an old acquaintance, Baroness von Zuckerberg, to a gala dinner once again. So here we are dining at the same time in the adjacent room of the restaurant where you will enjoy a delicious 3-course menu this evening.

Fleeing from his table neighbor, the endlessly chatty Swabian Baroness, the detective narrowly misses the alleged murder of the hostess's husband, Baron von Zuckerberg.

Granted, his health was not the best. But to suddenly fall face forward into the Maultäschlesupp is not the proper English way to die, even in Swabia. However, for Sherlock Holmes, the previously deadly boring evening is saved.

A dialect crime is on the horizon, an extremely tricky case at that, as the investigation results seemingly exclude any influence of poison. Questioning the witnesses, the forensic pathologist, and some of the dinner guests makes many innocence appear suspicious in the room. The famous detective eagerly and in high spirits engages his little grey cells. "Swabian cunning" quickly takes hold, but no false housebuilder can deceive the master that easily. For him, the solution to the case is clear soon. As always, he leaves us in the dark for a while before the murderer is skillfully captured.

But maybe you will have the solution soon as well, as you also have a word to say that evening.

The 3-course menu is served by the catering team at the Burgdorfer Schützenhaus. The Crime Dinner will start at 7:00 PM, promising thrills for your nerves and palate. Admission is at 6:30 PM.

Admission: 6:30 PM / Menu and theater piece are included in the price / Table and seating will be assigned on-site

Hardline - European Tour 2026

TIMELESS AOR GEMS

With the melodic rock hits of their debut album "Double Eclipse," the band Hardline gained cult status in the early 90s. Singer Johnny Gioeli has continued the legacy of the AOR band with changing musicians ever since. In November 2026, Hardline will revisit old and new songs once again at Z7. Supporting them will be Sevi from Bulgaria, who have shared the stage with Hardline multiple times in Pratteln, leaving a fantastic impression.

With the album "Double Eclipse," Hardline established a monument in 1992. With the highest musical quality, fantastic melodies, a unique voice, and the perfect blend of power and emotion, Hardline delivered a milestone of AOR with their debut. Every song has hit potential and still makes the hearts of melodic hard rock fans race today. The lineup from the '92 album is long gone, but powerhouse vocalist Johnny Gioeli has repeatedly revived the band and carried on the legacy with changing musicians. The former all-star project has now become a proper band. Since the release of the album "Danger Zone" in 2012, Hardline has offered a straightforward, riff-based melodic hard rock sound, representing a continuous evolution of their musical offerings. Performed by a group of musicians who have become a unity, each member contributes their personality and strengths to the anthemic rock songs. The expressive power of singer Johnny Gioeli combined with the production and songwriting skills of Alessandro Del Vecchio (Revolution Saints, Jorn etc.), the shredding talents of guitarist Andrea Seveso, and the powerful rhythm section consisting of bassist Anna Portalupi and drummer Marco Di Salvia merge into an unbeatable unit. This is also evident in the current album "Heart, Mind and Soul." Johnny Gioeli raves: "I can never get enough of this album. 'Heart, Mind and Soul' is undoubtedly one of my absolute favorite records by Hardline."

dArtagnan - Helden & Hymnen - Die Jubiläumstour 2026

HEROES & ANTHEMS: 10 YEARS OF DARTAGNAN

On November 13, the Z7 will once again be filled with full force folk-rock power with capes, swords, gunpowder smoke & thunderous roars. The Musketeer rockers dArtagnan celebrate the first decade of their fantastic career with the "Helden & Hymnen - Jubiläumstour 2026". The opening acts will be the folk-metal pirates Storm Seeker and the folk-punk tough guys Doppelbock.

The three friends Ben Metzner, Tim Bernhard, and Gustavo Strauss from Nuremberg, better known as dArtagnan, confidently promote their atmospheric folk-rock hit sound as Musketeer rock. What does it sound like? "Many of our songs are closely intertwined with traditional songs, with melodies that echoed through the streets hundreds of years ago. And yet, our music certainly still fits into today's time." Since 2015, dArtagnan has been winning the hearts of listeners with their hits, storming the charts, and receiving numerous awards. On the upcoming tour, the musicians will reflect on their previous career. "Friends, companions, musketeers. It's hard to believe: for ten years we have been traveling the lands with our songs. A whole decade full of adventures, unforgettable concerts, sweat, tears - and above all: endless friendship. In 2026, our first album 'Seit an Seit', which was awarded gold, will celebrate its tenth anniversary, and we want to celebrate this milestone with you twice as much. After the grand response to our 'Heldenfest' in Wuppertal, we quickly decided to play an entire anniversary tour. In 13 selected locations in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, we want to toast with you to everything that was, everything that is, and everything that is yet to come." The greatest musical moments from a decade of dArtagnan will be celebrated, along with life and the love for music. And of course, dArtagnan has a few new surprises in store that will make these evenings truly special. "This is our thank you to you. To the loyal friends who have accompanied us for years, without whom none of this would ever have been possible. So raise your glass, warm up your voices, and sharpen your swords: heroines and heroes, sing with us the anthems - and celebrate with us on the 'Helden & Hymnen' tour ten years of dArtagnan."

Das Kriminal Dinner - Krimidinner mit Kitzel für Nerven und Gaumen

The Criminal Dinner ‘Sherlock Holmes and the Poisoned Maultäschlesoup‘ – a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish setting surrounded by an exciting criminal case at PARK Lange Erlen in Basel.

‘Sherlock Holmes and the Poisoned Maultäschlesoup‘

Yes, you read that right, the famous master detective Sherlock Holmes and yours truly, Dr. Watson, have found themselves in the Swabian land. Admittedly, not entirely voluntarily. However, our genius could not refuse the invitation of an old acquaintance, Baroness von Zuckerberg, to a gala dinner once again. So here we are dining in the adjoining room of the restaurant, where you will enjoy a delicious 3-course menu this evening.

While fleeing from his dining companion, the endlessly chatting baroness, the detective narrowly misses the supposed murder of the hostess's husband, Baron von Zuckerberg.

Well, his health condition wasn’t the best. But to suddenly fall face-first into the Maultäschlesoup is not the refined English way to die, even in Swabia. However, for Sherlock Holmes, the thus far deadeningly boring evening is saved.

A crime is afoot, an exceedingly tricky case moreover, because the investigation results seemingly exclude any influence of poison. The questioning of witnesses, the forensic doctor, and some of the dinner guests makes several innocent little lambs in the room appear suspicious.
Eager and in good spirits, the famous detective revs up his little gray cells. “Swabian cunning” is already taking hold, but no false builder leads the master astray so quickly. For him, the solution to the case soon becomes clear. As always, however, he keeps us in the dark a little while longer before the murderer is virtuously apprehended.

You may also soon have the solution at the ready, as you will have a word to say this evening too.

The 3-course menu will be served by the gastro team at PARK Lange Erlen. The crime dinner kicks off at 7 PM, promising thrills for the nerves and the palate. Doors open at 6:30 PM.

Walter Trout

BLUES ROCK LEGEND

Walter Trout is considered one of the best guitarists of all time in expert circles. He has played with greats like John Lee Hooker and John Mayall and was a member of the legendary Canned Heat. As a solo artist, the blues rocker from Ocean City, New Jersey has released over 30 albums. In the fall of 2026, Walter Trout will come to Z7 with his current album "Sign Of The Times" and songs from five decades of his career.

On stage, Walter Trout, who celebrates his 75th birthday on March 6, feels at home. Every show by this passionate musician is a feast for the senses for blues and rock enthusiasts. Few artists play with as much fire, soul, and honesty as Walter Trout. For over five decades, this blues rock titan has poured his heart into every note, processing the highs and lows of life in his distinctive guitar sound and his experience-shaped voice. In 2026, Walter will return to European stages to delight us with his extraordinary abilities. Each performance is a celebration of survival, a defiant cry, and a soul connection, united by the unbreakable spirit of the blues. From soulful ballads to exhilarating rock anthems – Trout's live shows are raw, emotional journeys that overwhelm the audience. Accompanied by a world-class band, including his son Jon, who has been masterfully handling the guitar strings for several years. The father-son duels have become one of the outstanding highlights of every Trout show.

In 2025, the tireless artist released his latest album "Sign Of The Times." Great artists feel the pulse of the times. In his half-century as a societal observer and brutally honest songwriter, Walter Trout has never dictated to his fans what to think, feel, politically represent, or scrawl on their protest signs. Yet in a time when the entire world is bursting at the seams on the frontlines of modern life, the new album serves as a cry and the outlet we all urgently need. "I wanted to express the anger and fear in the world," says the musician. "For me, writing these songs was therapy. They are not just about what is happening out there, but also about how it affects us in our heads. 'Sign Of The Times' was simply the obvious title." With the new songs, Walter Trout comes to Pratteln once again in November. Whether you've known him since the Bluesbreakers days or are just discovering him – here you have the chance to experience a true icon in her element. Unadulterated and without frills. With real music, real stories, and pure energy.

ERRA + Currents

METALCORE-MANIA

In November, we present the fattest Metalcore package of the year 2026. The relentless tour convoy is led by the scene giants ERRA and Currents, who together form the spearhead of this tour as co-headliners. While ERRA sets another milestone in their career with the new album "Silence Outlives The Earth," Currents delivers the perfect counterpoint of hardness and atmosphere with their current EP "All That Follows." Supporting acts Caskets and Aviana will ensure multiple coregasms.

ERRA:
Founded in 2009 in Birmingham, Alabama, ERRA represents modern progressive metalcore with technical finesse and plenty of atmosphere. Heavy riffs collide with melodic vastness and the switch between screams and clean vocals. With songs like "Echo Sonata" and "Further Eden," they gave an early glimpse into their new album "Silence Outlives The Earth" (Release: March 6, 2026). The album feels at times more open and emotional, without losing intensity – another strong step in the band's development.

CURRENTS:
The US band Currents combines dark metalcore with djent elements, massive breakdowns, and melodic parts. Frontman Brian Wille shapes the sound with his switch between clean singing and screams, while the songs often tackle existential themes. With the EP "All That Follows" (2026), the band shows itself to be more experimental and personal than ever – an intense, high-energy set is guaranteed.

Gazelle - Comedy Perle

In her first live comedy tour, Gazelle talks about her life as a craftsman's daughter and a newly minted dog mommy - with a typical Gazelle sprinkle of self-irony and a satirical look at our society.

In autumn 2026, comedian and social media sensation Gazelle will launch her first solo live comedy tour, performing in a total of nine major cities in Germany. In her program, the 37-year-old discusses growing up as a craftsman's daughter and the ups and downs of being a dog mommy in Berlin. With her usual Gazelle charm, she critically examines us as a society and tackles nothing less than her own identity. Following the motto: Who am I actually, and if so, can I wear pink while doing it?

Gazelle has been successful on social media since 2021, captivating a following of 390,000 people on TikTok and 270,000 on Instagram with her satirical videos. There, she not only discusses what is "typically German," but also prompts reflection with social commentary addressing issues of queerness and being trans*. However, her live show will cover even more: “I believe that those who like my content will also enjoy my humor and what I talk about on tour,” explains Gazelle, “but stand-up tells the stories in a completely different and new way. I have the opportunity to share everything that has no place on social media. I can basically introduce myself all over again."

On her tour, Gazelle will be accompanied by different artists. Who they are will not be revealed yet. “I definitely want to share my stage with other artists that I personally like. I want to present a program that not only others will enjoy but one that I can fully stand behind 100%.” The audience can look forward to an evening completely without filters - but filled with plenty of charming self-irony and brutally funny insights into Gazelle's life.

GÖTZ WIDMANN - 50 Jahre erster Vollrausch

Götz Widmann–50 years of first drunkenness

Götz Widmann's songs are honest, refreshingly direct, free from any pretentious morality, and cover the complete spectrum of human emotions.
His favorite theme has always been unbridled joy of life, and he is definitely one of the funniest German-speaking songwriters.
His concerts are soul massages, a short vacation from reality, and shared feelings of happiness that give you goosebumps. There is no guru or inflated rock star in front of you, but a completely normal person who just happens to have the gift of making you laugh, cry, and persevere with his songs. Götz Widmann feels incredibly good!
To really understand that, you just have to experience him live.
On this tour, he wants to celebrate a very special anniversary together with all his friends:
50 years of first drunkenness! Yeah! The anthem for this is already out, it's called "Verkacken mit Verstand," available on all popular streaming platforms and at goetzwidmann.de.

The New Roses - Down & Dirty Tour 2026

80s HARD ROCK IN STADIUM FORMAT

The New Roses from Wiesbaden are back at Z7 with their exhilarating stadium rock anthems. Finest 80s groove and plenty of live energy guaranteed. Supporting them are the rising French glam rockers Harsh, bringing endless Sunset Strip vibes.

The New Roses are among the most successful German rock acts, achieving chart success and heavy rotations on rock stations in Germany and Great Britain with their albums and singles for years. After performances at international festivals such as Wacken, Hellfest, or Sweden Rock, and shows with big names like Kiss, ZZ Top, Black Stone Cherry, Joe Bonamassa, or Die Toten Hosen, as well as tours with artists like the Scorpions, Saxon, Accept, and Tremonti, along with countless club shows as headliners, The New Roses are now familiar to every fan of refined 80s rock. The quartet from the Hessian capital also entered the legendary Kiss Cruise in 2018 and 2019 as the first German band. So far, the band has released six acclaimed albums. Musically, the band delivers top-notch American rock. Bon Jovi in their prime are often referenced. There are plenty of stadium-worthy songs, hard riffs, and powerful drumming, catchy choruses, and pronounced melodies alternating with authentic rockin' Americana tracks. And of course, The New Roses always show their softer side. At times, a gripping mid-tempo ballad or a touching acoustic piece resonates, where frontman Timmy showcases the full range of his voice. On stage, The New Roses also deliver across the board. Tinu from Metalfactory.ch wrote about the Z7 gig in December 2024: "With 'The Usual Suspects' and the sung-along 'Down By The River,' an extraordinary concert evening came to an end, one of the most moving of the year. The New Roses seem to add a few more bricks with each gig. The infectious joy of playing, the incredibly distinctive and amazing vocals, as well as the international flair that the guys have earned will eventually fill stadiums."

Nazareth - Right, Left & Centre Tour 2026

SCHOTTENROCK WITH SWISS TUBE

With hearty rock songs and dreamy ballads, Nazareth has made a name for themselves worldwide over the last 58 years. Since the end of 2025, a Swiss frontman has breathed new life into the veteran band: Basel's Gianni Pontillo is the new voice of the Scots. He looks forward to an extremely emotional home game at the Pratteler rock temple.

Founded in 1968 in the Scottish town of Dunfermline, Nazareth is counted among the first hard and heavy generation of music history alongside colleagues like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, and Black Sabbath. With nearly 60 million records sold worldwide, Nazareth is, alongside Simple Minds, the most successful music group from Scotland internationally. At the helm since last December is Gianni Pontillo. The Basel native has made a name for himself over the past thirty years with bands like Pure Inc, The Order, Fun Halen, Pontillo & The Vintage Crew, and most recently with the German heavy rockers Victory. Now, with Nazareth, the next career step follows. Bassist Pete Agnew, the last remaining original member of the rock institution, contacted Gianni for the first time at the end of 2025. "Pete personally called me after someone from the scene had sent him a video of me. I could hardly believe it. The cult band Nazareth. The legendary co-founders of hard rock. I have known and loved this band since my childhood. I saw my parents dancing to 'Love Hurts' in the living room, and they even had a 'Greatest Hits' record by Nazareth in their vinyl collection."

Meanwhile, Nazareth has already played several concerts with Pontillo, and the newcomer feels perfectly at home in his new role: "It's just great! The guys from the band, the crew, and the whole environment are really awesome. Respect is the be-all and end-all here. You rarely find that in the music business these days." The fans' reactions are also very positive. "I have already met a lot of die-hard fans, and all are very happy with me as the new frontman. They have already shared some exciting stories about the band and the original singer Dan McCafferty." Interpreting Nazareth's timeless classics brings Pontillo great joy. When asked about personal favorites, he responds: "I actually like all the songs. But 'Hair Of The Dog' and 'Whiskey Drinkin’ Woman' are two absolute highlights. One has a really cool rock groove, the other is a killer blues number with a very funny lyric. Pete and I sing here in unison, and our voices simply harmonize perfectly." In November, Pontillo will come to Pratteln with his new band for the first time. A very special moment for the singer: "The Z7 is my home, I practically grew up with the venue. Here I attended my very first concert and have often played in the supporting act of great bands. The place is legendary, the sound is top-notch, and the whole team is just amazing. I’m already looking forward to this concert. It will be very emotional, as friends and family will all be there. It will be a great celebration."

NEW ALBUM – OLD RAGE

The NY hardcore legends Pro-Pain are back in action. For the 35th anniversary of the formation, guitarist Eric Klinger has returned. With the album "Stone Cold Anger," there is finally new Pro-Pain music again. The hefty new record shows that the band led by singer/bassist Gary Meskil has lost none of its original force and unrestrained rage from its early days.

Surpassing themselves with each new album is probably the biggest challenge for a band. Especially when eleven years have passed since the last release and the predecessor made quite an impact. To achieve this ambitious goal, Pro-Pain has brought back their old guitarist Eric Klinger. And even the two advance singles from the new album "Stone Cold Anger" (release: May 15, 26) have shown that Pro-Pain need not worry about their reputation as an exceptional presence in the New York hardcore scene. Since their groundbreaking debut album "Foul Taste Of Freedom," which was nominated for various awards in the early nineties, the uncompromising group led by band founder Gary Meskil has earned the affection and respect of countless fans around the world and is rightly considered a true hardcore metal legend today. All albums are hard to surpass in intensity, inspiration, and honesty. And the latest offering is no exception. After the long release hiatus, the hardcore heavyweights are back with album number 16 in a loud way. On their label debut at Napalm Records, the scene icons show themselves from their most explosive side: "Stone Cold Anger" is, as the title suggests, angry and weighs a ton. Pro-Pain has lost none of their power. Exceptionally catchy, the new album supports gripping melodies with both inciting angry and anthemic vocals, making the new songs worthy successors to the 3.5 million times streamed hit "Voice Of Rebellion" (2015). The long-awaited work opens with the hard-hitting "Oceans Of Blood," an energetic track that immediately confirms that Pro-Pain are unstoppable even after three and a half decades. Gary Meskil and his musicians have remained musical and political idealists who have not deviated an iota from their relentless stance. These and other qualities will also be brought to our Z7 stage by Pro-Pain on the occasion of the “35th Anniversary Tour 2026.”

Hämatom - Gagamania 2026

GAGAMANIA TOTAL

Ahoy dear freaks and Gaga maniacs! Hämatom are going on a big concert tour again in 2026 and are coming to us at Z7. It will be loud, colorful, shrill, and quirky - the escalation continues. The "Gagamania Tour" once again brings the brutal, yet chart-compatible mix of provocative lyrics, groovy metal, and New German Hardness to our hall. The special guests J.B.O. and Anstandslos & Durchgeknallt ensure a wild start to a spectacular concert night.

Since their founding in 2004, Hämatom have been delighting fans with their unmistakable powerful sound. They shout out their socially critical messages point-blank and straightforward, and now look back on two exciting and turbulent decades. In 2026, Hämatom invite you to the craziest tour in their band's history. The masks are polished, the amplifiers cranked up to the max - Hämatom return to the stage with full force. With their "Gagamania Tour," these four exceptional personalities not only bring their usual explosive live fireworks but also open a whole new chapter in their band's history. What starts as a normal live show becomes an event that turns all previously known concert nights upside down. Like at a completely crazy carnival, you move from one absurd attraction to the next. And before you know it, a stilt-walking freak hands you cotton candy while you actually wanted to sing karaoke.

After the success of their last album and sold-out shows in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic, Hämatom are ready for a tour in 2026 that breaks all boundaries: wilder, louder, crazier - Gagamania is both name and program. The band promises a unique experience between madness and reality, between brutal metal, gripping hooks, and an audiovisual spectacle that seeks its equal. For this extraordinary tour, Hämatom have brought two very special special guests on board: with J.B.O., the masters of fun metal, anarchic humor meets pink metal power. A guarantee for party and fun at the highest level. Additionally, Anstandslos & Durchgeknallt bring their electronically driving sound, creating completely new sound worlds – somewhere between ecstasy and a state of emergency. These will not be ordinary concerts; they will be true experiences. A brightly shining parallel universe called Gagamania that you won't be able to shake off once you've experienced it.

Das schwäbische Kriminal Dinner - Krimidinner mit Kitzel für Nerven und Gaumen

Culinary delight and thrill: Guests at Hof zu Wil in Wil are offered quite a lot: Exquisitely served, spontaneously staged. The Kriminal Dinner – a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish ambiance framed by an interactive crime piece:

`A Thick Crime`

The absolute highlight in the quaint Swabian town is the annual performance by the cultural association. This year, due to great success, the play "Faust I" by Goethe will be performed again. However, the main role must be recast in a public audition. The board of the association has warmly invited the local population to participate. The well-known actress of Mephista, Linda Bergmann, is also present to assist. The audition goes surprisingly well until a sudden death throws the relaxed evening into chaos. Are there criminal machinations at play? Who can trust whom now?

The previously flawless cooperation of the cultural association and the small Swabian community shows cracks and threatens to fall apart. Marlene Dieterle, not only the chairwoman of the cultural association but also a commissioner and head of the homicide department, takes over the investigations.

Ultimately, all threads lead together:

What happened during the previous night at the extravagant farewell party of the former Faust actor? Could there have been a mix-up between play and reality? The case is painstakingly reconstructed, with some guests coming under suspicion. Commissioner Dieterle urgently requests assistance to solve the mysterious case.

The tempting multi-course menu is served and created by the kitchen team at Hof zu Wil. The thrill for nerves and palate starts at 5 PM, with entry from 4:30 PM.

Entry: 4:30 PM / Menu and theater piece are included in the price / Table and seating will be assigned on site.

ZOMBIE-METAL IN Z7

Fascinating storytelling, brilliant songwriting, and musical skill: with these ingredients, the Nuremberg-based Dominum conquered the metal scene three years ago. In December 2026, Dr. Dead and his zombies will present their unrestrained power metal with horror appeal for the first time as headliners on our stage. They will bring their new third album (Release: July 2026) along on tour.

The Nuremberg power metal sensation Dominum burst onto the scene in 2023 with a bang: they immediately reached the top 20 of the German album charts with their debut album "Hey Living People" and won a lot of fans with their horror-inspired lyrics, powerful compositions, vibrant covers of Dead or Alive, Billie Eilish, or Midnight Oil, and theatrical performances. The mastermind behind the project is singer Felix Heldt, who has made a name for himself as a songwriter and producer for bands like Feuerschwanz and Visions Of Atlantis. As Dominum's frontman Dr. Dead, he takes listeners into the world of the undead and tells stories of zombies, the struggle for survival, and an insatiable greed for more. With the debut album, Dominum conquered European stages as a support act for scene giants such as Bruce Dickinson, Avantasia, Feuerschwanz, and Peyton Parrish or through celebrated festival shows in front of tens of thousands of fans. At the end of 2024, the second installment followed. The zombie metal combo unleashed the undead again with "The Dead Don't Die" and climbed this time into the top 10 of the charts. In addition to ten new tracks, Dominum served a fat cover version of the Scorpions' belter "Rock You Like A Hurricane." With their two albums, Dominum was also regularly seen in Pratteln over the past few years. In December 2023, they presented themselves in the opening act for the Apocalyptic Riders for the first time to fans. In December 2024, they were guests with Feuerschwanz again. In December 2025, the next performance followed as a special guest of Battle Beast. Meanwhile, the power zombies have developed from a premium opener to the main act and will come to Pratteln in December 2026 with their third album, which will be launched at the sold-out Rockharz Festival in July, for the first time as headliners.

Death Angel - Act III European Tour 2026

BAY AREA THRASH IM DOPPELPACK

The Bay Area is coming to Pratteln. Death Angel celebrate the 35th anniversary of their cult album "Act III" with an exclusive complete performance and bring along Vio-Lence, another pioneer of the legendary thrash metal movement, to Z7. Two cult bands, two decades of music history, and an evening full of high-speed riffs, mosh pit guarantee, and Bay Area spirit.

Since their founding in 1982, Death Angel have been one of the most influential bands in the legendary Bay Area thrash scene. With uncompromising riffs, technical precision, and unstoppable live energy, the Californians still belong to the international forefront of the genre more than four decades later. After their reunion in 2001, the band entered a second, highly successful career phase with critically acclaimed albums such as "The Art Of Dying," "The Dream Calls For Blood," "The Evil Divide," or the Grammy-nominated "Humanicide." In 2025, Death Angel made a powerful comeback with the new singles "Wrath (Bring Fire)" and "Cult Of The Used." However, the current tour focuses on a very special anniversary: For the 35th birthday of their classic "Act III," the album will be performed live in full length at Z7 for the first time. The setlist will be complemented by selected highlights from the band's entire history – an absolute celebration for all thrash metal fans.

Vio-Lence have been one of the most important trailblazers of the second wave of thrash metal since the mid-eighties. With their cult album "Eternal Nightmare," the musicians from Oakland wrote Bay Area history and influenced generations of metal bands. After their reunion, the scene legends are back on stage regularly and provide the perfect kickoff to an unforgettable thrash night with their uncompromising mix of speed, aggression, and precision.

And that’s not all: The evening will be opened by a local band from the region. Who will secure the opening slot will be decided in the context of a band contest. More information will follow shortly.

Eisheilige Nacht 2026 - We Will Folk You!

EISHEILIGE NACHT 2026 – WE WILL FOLK YOU!

Since 2009, SUBWAY TO SALLY has been concluding the year with the Eisheiligen Nacht – an indoor festival where the band joins forces with friendly artists and transforms the last days of the year into a loud, exuberant concert party.

Under the headline "We Will Folk You," the Eisheilige Nacht 2026 is marked by a special friendship: SUBWAY TO SALLY and FIDDLER’S GREEN have been shaping the folk and rock scene in the German-speaking world for about 35 years. Both bands have found their own ways to blend traditional sounds with modern rock energy – one with medieval and folk metal, the other with Irish speed folk. On tours and festivals, their paths have crossed time and again, turning colleagues into allies and finally into close friends.

In 2026, SUBWAY TO SALLY and FIDDLER’S GREEN will share the top of the line-up and make it clear together what the evening is going to be: a single, big, loud, danceable explosion. The hosts SUBWAY TO SALLY will delve deep into their now multi-decade spanning discography and combine classics with newer songs. FIDDLER’S GREEN will bring all their live experience: fast tunes, sing-along choruses, and the typical Irish drive that leaves no moment of stillness.

This package is further enhanced by MANNTRA, bringing their powerful, dark mix of rock, metal, and folk elements to the stage, as well as SAINT CITY ORCHESTRA, who will provide additional movement in the audience with their vigorous folk-rock and punk influences. Together, the four bands create a line-up that relies on live energy from the first to the last minute.

The Eisheilige Nacht 2026 remains what it has been for years: a year-end celebration among friends – on, in front of, and behind the stage. Those who want to know what "We Will Folk You" means will find the answer in the mosh pit.

THE VIKINGS ARE COMING

Týr embark on their next adventure with their own record label and a new album. In December, the Faroese musicians return to Switzerland with their melodic progressive folk metal anthems. Even on their tenth album, Týr does not shy away from new influences, but remains loyal to their unmistakable Viking-Prog. Pack your drinking horns and get ready to roar old and new sing-along numbers at the top of your lungs.

Support Acts: Twilight Force, Dragonland, Vanaheim

In January 2025, Týr wrote on their social media channels after their performance at the revived Paganfest at Z7: "Pratteln! We have played so many times in your wonderful venue, Z7, but this was definitely the best time we have ever had there." Bueheres.com were on-site at Paganfest and reflected on Týr's performance as follows: "The majestic melodies and powerful vocals of Heri Joensen completely captivated the audience. Particularly impressive was how synchronously the band combined their multi-part harmonies with the sonorous guitar arrangements. Songs like 'Blood of Heroes' ignited enthusiasm that swept both long-time fans and newcomers alike. The atmosphere during the performance was electrifying and made the hall practically boil." This is expected to be topped in December 2026, when Týr returns as headliners of a fine folk-metal package to Z7. With their unique blend of heavy metal and Faroese ballads, a melodically harmonious variant of folk/viking metal and progressive influences, Týr has carved out a unique niche in the metal universe since their debut in 2002. Particularly notable within the genre is the permanent use of clean vocals and the absence of any growls. This music style is now referred to in the Faroe Islands as kvæðamálmur (ballad-metal). Their themes are rooted in Norse mythology, with lyrics primarily in Faroese or English. In recent years, the band has toured the world with their anthems: among other things, they joined Children Of Bodom through North America or sailed in true Viking fashion on the 70,000 Tons Of Metal Cruise. This year marks the release of the band’s tenth album, the first on their own label. Earlier this year, Týr announced that they want to take their musical destiny into their own hands so that the rights to their songs will forever belong 100% to the band. The video podcast provides interesting insights into the creation of the new album. It's worth checking out.

Das Kriminal Dinner - Krimidinner mit Kitzel für Nerven und Gaumen

The Kriminal Dinner ‘Sherlock Holmes und die vergiftete Maultäschlesupp‘ – a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish ambiance surrounded by an exciting criminal case at the Seehotel Kastanienbaum in Kastanienbaum.

‘Sherlock Holmes und die vergiftete Maultäschlesupp‘

Yes, you read that correctly, the famous master detective Sherlock Holmes and yours truly, Dr. Watson, have found themselves in the Swabian region. Admittedly, not entirely voluntarily. However, our genius could not decline the invitation of an old acquaintance, Baroness von Zuckerberg, to a gala dinner once again. So here we are dining just at the time in the adjoining room of the restaurant, where you will enjoy a delicious 3-course menu that evening.

While escaping from his chatty table neighbor, the endlessly talking baroness, the detective narrowly misses the supposed murder of the hostess's husband, Baron von Zuckerberg.

Admittedly, his health was not at its best. But to suddenly fall face-forward into the Maultäschlesupp is not the fine English way to die, even in Swabia. However, for Sherlock Holmes, the previously dull evening is saved.

A crime is at hand, an extremely tricky case, as the investigation results seemingly exclude any influence of poison. The questioning of witnesses, the forensic expert, and some of the dinner guests makes several innocent lambs in the hall appear suspicious.
Eagerly and in a cheerful mood, the famous detective activates his little gray cells. "Swabian cunning" is already spreading, but no false house builder will deceive the master so quickly. For him, the solution to the case soon becomes clear. As always, however, he keeps us in the dark for a while longer before the murderer is virtuously caught.

Perhaps you will also soon have the solution at hand, as you will have a say that evening.

The 3-course menu is served by the gastro team at Seehotel Kastanienbaum. The Krimi Dinner will start at 7 PM, guaranteeing a thrill for nerves and palate. Admission is at 6:30 PM.

Admission: 6:30 PM / Menu and play are included in the price / Table and seating will be assigned on-site.

Das Kriminal Dinner - Krimidinner mit Kitzel für Nerven und Gaumen

Culinary enjoyment and thrills: Guests at the Tropen-Restaurant Florida in Studen are in for a treat: exquisitely served, spontaneously staged. The COMEDY Kriminal Dinner – it's a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish ambiance framed by a criminal play:

“Testament à la Carte“ - a testament opening with a bite!

Prof. William Chattney is dead. He was a renowned scientist. However, before the will can be read, the life of the deceased must be reconstructed with the help of the guests. Actually not a problem, if it weren't for Detective Johnson. He is investigating, as Chattney's death is considered a violent crime.

Who killed Chattney and how? What was he researching? And what secret did he take to the grave? Notary Mr. Green and his loyal assistant Manfred have their hands full: They are checking the surveillance cameras of the estate, reading with the help of Herbert Wandschneider from the future, and Dr. Sten-Gelle combines cosmic energy with science, all in order to solve the mystery. In the end, however, it is Extreme Norbert, supported by the audience, who initiates the turnaround.

The actors spontaneously involve the audience repeatedly through their extensive experience as improvisational artists in the crime story. Culinary delights and entertainment, unpredictable developments and astonishing twists alternate.

The two performers make use of diverse means of expression, play several characters, and have a keen sense of the audience. Their joy of playing is barely containable and delights the crowd. "The sparkling uncertainty and the moment of surprise – both in the audience and on stage – that is what makes it exciting."

The seductive multi-course menu is served and created by the kitchen team at the Tropen-Restaurant Florida. The thrill for nerves and palate begins at 7 PM, with admission starting at 6:30 PM.

live/wire - The Swiss Tribute to AC/DC

HIGH VOLTAGE ROCK’N’ROLL

What would December be like in Z7 without live/wire? Year after year, Europe's best AC/DC tribute band creates an electrifying atmosphere as the year comes to an end – a tradition that will continue this winter as well. On December 18 and 19, the five full-blooded rockers return to the Pratteln rock temple and unleash a spectacular fireworks display of hits from the Australian rock giants over two evenings – accompanied by hellish bells, bagpipes, and the thunderous crash of cannons. Just like the motto: Let There Be Rock!

For more than five decades, the name AC/DC has stood for uncompromising hard rock and legendary live shows. Over 200 million records sold and world tours in sold-out arenas speak for themselves. More than 20 years ago, the formation live/wire emerged from the Basel region through the merger of the two cover bands Riff Raff and Jailbreak – and since then, they have been the most authentic AC/DC tribute that Europe has to offer. With incredible joy of playing and a meticulously accurate show, the five musicians send their audience into ecstasy night after night. Singer Däny comes astonishingly close to his idol Brian Johnson with his voice, facial expressions, and flat cap – one might believe the original was on stage. Guitarist Cello hits every note like Angus Young with his Gibson SG and leaps around the stage in a school uniform as if he had never done anything else. Adi provides the typical, straightforward Malcolm groove with his Gretsch, while Ronny on drums delivers the right punch in the best Phil Rudd manner. The sound is rounded off by Beat, who solidifies the foundation in the style of Cliff Williams with his four strings. Since their debut in the fall of 2002, the band has continuously developed, and their repertoire now includes over 50 songs from four and a half decades of AC/DC history. The sound is faithful to the original, the show full of energy – and together, live/wire brings the spirit of AC/DC to a new level with every show. Anyone who has been there knows: This is not just a cover band; this is pure passion. So: Hop on the Rock’n’Roll Train or take a course on the Highway to Hell – Z7 will become the party zone for all AC/DC fans. Two evenings. One band. And plenty of High Voltage Rock’n’Roll.

For him, the solution to the case will soon be clear. As always, however, he allows us to stumble in the dark for a while before the murderer is virtuously caught.

Perhaps you will soon have the solution ready as well, for you also have a say in the matter this evening.

The 3-course menu will be served by the gastro team at the Zunfthaus zur Schmiden. The Krimi Dinner will begin at 7 PM, ensuring thrills for nerves and palate. Doors open at 6:30 PM.

Admission: 6:30 PM / Menu and theater play are included in the price / Table and seat assignments will be made on site.

live/wire - The Swiss Tribute to AC/DC

HIGH VOLTAGE ROCK’N’ROLL

What would December be like in Z7 without live/wire? Year after year, Europe's best AC/DC tribute band creates an electrifying atmosphere as the year comes to an end – a tradition that will continue this winter as well. On December 18 and 19, the five full-blooded rockers return to the Pratteln rock temple and unleash a spectacular fireworks display of hits from the Australian rock giants over two evenings – accompanied by hellish bells, bagpipes, and the thunderous crash of cannons. Just like the motto: Let There Be Rock!

For more than five decades, the name AC/DC has stood for uncompromising hard rock and legendary live shows. Over 200 million records sold and world tours in sold-out arenas speak for themselves. More than 20 years ago, the formation live/wire emerged from the Basel region through the merger of the two cover bands Riff Raff and Jailbreak – and since then, they have been the most authentic AC/DC tribute that Europe has to offer. With incredible joy of playing and a meticulously accurate show, the five musicians send their audience into ecstasy night after night. Singer Däny comes astonishingly close to his idol Brian Johnson with his voice, facial expressions, and flat cap – one might believe the original was on stage. Guitarist Cello hits every note like Angus Young with his Gibson SG and leaps around the stage in a school uniform as if he had never done anything else. Adi provides the typical, straightforward Malcolm groove with his Gretsch, while Ronny on drums delivers the right punch in the best Phil Rudd manner. The sound is rounded off by Beat, who solidifies the foundation in the style of Cliff Williams with his four strings. Since their debut in the fall of 2002, the band has continuously developed, and their repertoire now includes over 50 songs from four and a half decades of AC/DC history. The sound is faithful to the original, the show full of energy – and together, live/wire brings the spirit of AC/DC to a new level with every show. Anyone who has been there knows: This is not just a cover band; this is pure passion. So: Hop on the Rock’n’Roll Train or take a course on the Highway to Hell – Z7 will become the party zone for all AC/DC fans. Two evenings. One band. And plenty of High Voltage Rock’n’Roll.

Das schwäbische Kriminal Dinner - Krimidinner mit Kitzel für Nerven und Gaumen

Culinary enjoyment and thrills: Guests at PUR Hurden in Hurden are presented with a lot: exquisitely served, spontaneously staged. The Kriminal Dinner – a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish atmosphere framed by an interactive crime play:

`A Thick Crime`

The highlight in the quaint Swabian town is the annual performance of the cultural association. This year, due to its great success, Goethe's play "Faust I" is to be performed again. However, the lead role must be recast in a public audition. The board of the association has warmly invited the local population to participate. The well-known local actress of Mephista, Linda Bergmann, is also present to lend support. The casting goes surprisingly well until a sudden death throws the cheerful evening into chaos. Are criminal machinations behind it? Who can still trust whom now?

The seemingly flawless collaboration of the cultural association and the small Swabian community begins to show cracks and threatens to fall apart. Marlene Dieterle, not only head of the cultural association but also a commissioner and head of the homicide department, takes over the investigations.

Ultimately, all threads come together:

What happened during the previous night at the lavish farewell party of the former Faust actor? Were play and reality perhaps confused there? The case is reconstructed in detail, and some guests come under suspicion. Commissioner Dieterle urgently asks for help to solve the mysterious case.

The seductive multi-course menu is served and created by the kitchen team at PUR Hurden. The thrill for nerves and palates begins at 7 PM, with entry starting at 6:30 PM.

Entry: 6:30 PM / Menu and play are included in the price / Tables and seating are assigned on-site.

Orden Ogan + Ensiferum - Tour Of The Grave 2027

TOUR OF THE GRAVE

Orden Ogan is at the forefront of modern Power Metal – dark, melodic, and technically skilled. Classic metal structures meet cinematic breadth and a strong sense of atmosphere and storytelling. In January 2027, Orden Ogan will come to the Z7 with their new masterpiece "Lords Of The Grave" – and will bring along the Finnish folk metal giants Ensiferum as a high-profile special guest. Band leader Sebastian "Seeb" Levermann explains: "Although we come from different subgenres, our styles complement each other excellently. This tour combines epic force, melody, and intensity at the highest level – exactly what both bands stand for."

Germany's melodic power institution Orden Ogan is set to provide a strong start to the concert year 2027. The new tour will kick off on January 7th in Munich, one day after the release of the new album "Lords Of The Grave". With two consecutive top-3 albums ("Final Days" and "The Order of Fear"), a nearly completely sold-out headline tour in 2025, and massive festival shows that have long reached headliner level, Orden Ogan is among the dominating forces of modern Power Metal. Hardly any band in the scene combines epic storytelling, monumental live shows, and such a loyal fan base at this level. After their joint tour with Wind Rose, Orden Ogan is now announcing their biggest and most ambitious concert tour to date: the "Tour Of The Grave". The new album marks the next stage of development for the band. Musically, "Lords Of The Grave" continues the course uncompromisingly: darker, heavier power metal interspersed with massive walls of guitars, sublime melodies, and choruses made for arenas. What to expect from the upcoming tour is explained by Sebastian "Seeb" Levermann: "An even more epic show than ever before. Those who know Orden Ogan know that our shows are always a huge party with the audience – but this tour will be the biggest of all parties."

Joining them on stage is one of the most influential folk metal bands in Europe, Ensiferum. For decades, the Finns have been blending Nordic folklore with melodic intensity, hymn-like force, and epic choruses. With their unmistakable style of folk, Viking, and melodic death metal, Ensiferum has built a loyal fan base worldwide and is one of the defining bands of their genre. The shared history with Orden Ogan goes back a long way: as early as 2008, Ensiferum headlined the WinterNachtsTraum festival organized by Orden Ogan. Almost two decades later, two established European metal acts meet again – a package that combines epic melodies, powerful intensity, and exhilarating live energy. Copyright: k.A.

U.D.O. - Triple Anniversary Tour 2027

UDO IN CELEBRATION MOOD

Udo Dirkschneider is celebrating a triple anniversary in 2027! 75 – 40 – 20 is the magic formula: The German metal legend turns 75, his formation U.D.O. has been around for 40 years, and in the anniversary year, he will release album number 20. With the “Three Times Anniversary Tour,” U.D.O. will come to Pratteln in January to celebrate a big party with the Swiss fans.

Actually, Udo Dirkschneider was supposed to follow in his father’s footsteps and take over the family tool factory in Wuppertal. But as his musical commitment grew stronger, he had to make a decision at a young age: “Take over the company, or step into madness – so I stepped into madness.” Luckily for all metal fans. With his bands Accept, U.D.O., or Dirkschneider, the singer has written music history over the last five decades and has become the epitome of the Teutonic metal frontman. Since the 80s, his distinctive voice has shaped countless metal classics. Udo is a true icon of the genre, continually redefining its history. This is also true in 2027. A big year for the musician, as Udo will celebrate his 75th birthday on April 6. He gives himself the best gift. With his formation U.D.O., he will deliver - just in time for the tour kick-off - the twentieth studio album since the band's founding in 1987. The “Three Times Anniversary” release tour will once again bring Udo and his fellow musicians to us at Z7 in January. One thing is clear, when Dirkschneider stands on our stage, it will be anthemic, brutal, and authentically over the top. For the last U.D.O. gig with the top-ten album “Touchdown,” Tinu from Metal Factory wrote: “They came, played, and tore the place apart. It was a great evening for a seasoned band that still has a hell of a lot to say in metal.”

Floor Jansen

SOLO FOR FLOOR

As the singer of Nightwish and After Forever, Floor Jansen has thrilled the symphonic metal world over the last three decades. With her first solo venture "Paragon," the Dutchwoman proved that she belongs to one of the strongest and most versatile voices in the entire music scene worldwide. In spring 2027, Floor Jansen will come to Pratteln with her second solo album.

She started her career in 1997 with After Forever, one of the first symphonic metal bands ever, and eventually became the outstanding frontwoman of the Finnish multi-platinum sellers Nightwish in 2013. Today, Floor Jansen enjoys the reputation as one of the best singers in the world and attracts attention with her powerful, emotional, and versatile singing style that spans various musical genres. The classically trained soprano masters everything from enchanting clear vocals to powerful belting and rough shouting to growling. Besides her work with After Forever and Nightwish, the singer has also made numerous guest appearances with colleagues like Sabaton, Ayreon, Devin Townsend, Epica, and Avantasia. In 2026, the singer will use the break from Nightwish to increasingly perform as a solo artist on stage. Two shows as support for Sabaton are planned for May, several festival appearances are scheduled for summer, and in autumn she will return to the stage for two exclusive club gigs in the Netherlands. The concerts at the end of October in Groningen and the beginning of November in Amsterdam will kick off a tour with new material, which will also take Floor to Z7 in January. The successor to her first solo album "Paragon" (2023) is in the starting blocks and is said to sound like the Floor that fans of Nightwish know and love. Additionally, she intends to play the songs from her debut "Paragon" at the upcoming concerts in an enhanced and "metalized" version. Sounds like a perfect evening for fans of Nightwish, After Forever, and the unique powerhouse voice of Floor Jansen.

Grave Digger - Legends Never Die Tour '27

GERMAN METAL ATTACK 2027: LEGENDS NEVER DIE

The great Teutonic metal parade is rolling in. Led by the Ruhrpott legends Grave Digger, a massive, loud, and uncompromising metal package is coming to Pratteln in January 2027. As a special guest, Motorjesus will join with their high-octane metal. To kick things off, there will be hard riffs and crazy double-bass inferno from Warwolf.

Steel is being forged once again. In 2027, German heavy metal makes a powerful return to the stages of Europe. Under the banner "Legends Never Die," three mighty forces unite for a package that makes metal hearts beat faster. At the center is the cult band Grave Digger. With pioneering albums and unique anthems, Grave Digger has been one of the most defining and influential bands in the German metal scene since the early 80s. And even after more than four and a half decades in the relentless business, there are no signs of fatigue. Chris Boltendahl, Jens Becker, Marcus Kniep, and Tobias Kersting remain a serious force in the live sector, regularly releasing high-quality albums. With "Bone Collector," Grave Digger released their first album in January 2025 completely without keyboard passages. With new axeman Tobias Kersting, the band returns to long-forgotten trademarks. Raw, brutal, honest, and yet catchy, songs like "Bone Collector" or "Made Of Madness" thunder out of the speakers. The record is a manifesto of German heavy metal, old school at its finest, without rust and patina, always authentic. Rarely has the band sounded as versatile, energetic, fresh, and multifaceted as on this album. For the German Metal Attack, Grave Digger will come with a classic set from over four decades of band history as well as hard-hitting new material to once again prove that true legends never fade. Timeless classics like "Heavy Metal Breakdown," "Rebellion," or "Excalibur" meet brand new thunder anthems, creating an explosive mix of past and future.

Wishbone Ash - Wishbone Ash

ROCK HISTORY IM Z7

Wishbone Ash are undoubtedly one of the most influential bands in the entire history of rock. With their unique dual-lead guitar sound, the English band has had a lasting impact on colleagues from Thin Lizzy to Iron Maiden. Almost a year after their last show at Z7, the lineup led by original singer and guitarist Andy Powell returns to Pratteln with songs from nearly six decades of band history.

They are a Z7 favorite. Wishbone Ash has performed here eleven times since 2010, and we can't get enough. In February 2024, the band visited us with their "Live Dates 50th Anniversary" tour, in January 2025 there was already the next full dose of Wishbone Ash at Z7, and in February 2026, the fantastic live band from Torquay, England returned to Pratteln with their "The Time Was Tour" to delight their fans with an captivating show and a setlist of all-time favorites. Founded in 1969, Wishbone Ash is now led by the two lead guitarists Andy Powell (the last remaining original member) and Mark Abrahams (who joined in 2017). Bassist Bob Skeat, who has been part of the band for three decades, sets the pace with drummer Windsor McGilvray, who joined the band in 2026. Over the years, the band has experimented with various musical styles, from folk, blues, and jazz to pedal-to-the-metal rock and electronics. But no matter the style – Wishbone Ash's trademark remains the unmistakable sound of the two lead guitars that influenced bands like Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Iron Maiden, and even Opeth. There is probably no other band that has made more of the twin-guitar concept than Wishbone Ash. Live, the band is still a force: Andy Powell continues to perform on stage with unrestrained joy and expertly leads his band through a nearly two-hour journey through the rich back catalog of Wishbone Ash. In the last show, our house chroniclers at Diebüehrers.com wrote: "Musically, the quartet effortlessly bridged the gap between early classics and later material. The unmistakable twin-guitar sound of Powell and Mark Abrahams was always at the forefront, creating goosebump moments as the two guitar lines elegantly intertwined." The convincing conclusion was: "Without grand effects, but with a lot of passion and skill, the band impressively demonstrated why they have been an inspiring presence in live music for over five decades. This high-quality show can simply be recommended to everyone!" To be continued.

Das Kriminal Dinner - Krimidinner mit Kitzel für Nerven und Gaumen

The Kriminal Dinner ‘Sherlock Holmes und die vergiftete Maultäschlesupp‘ – a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish ambiance surrounded by an exciting criminal case at the Hotel Schweizerhof in Zurich.

‘Sherlock Holmes und die vergiftete Maultäschlesupp‘

Yes, you read it right, the famous master detective Sherlock Holmes and yours truly, Dr. Watson, have found themselves in the Swabian countryside. Admittedly, not entirely voluntarily. However, our genius could not once again decline the invitation from an old acquaintance, Baroness von Zuckerberg, to a gala dinner. So here we are dining just at the time in the adjacent room of the restaurant, where you will enjoy a delicious 3-course menu this evening.

While fleeing from his table neighbor, the endlessly chattering baroness, the detective narrowly misses the supposed murder of the hostess's husband, Baron von Zuckerberg.

Well, his health was not at its best. But to suddenly fall face-first into the Maultäschlesupp is not exactly the refined English way to die, even in Swabia. For Sherlock Holmes, however, the previously deadly dull evening is saved.

A crime is afoot, an extremely tricky case at that, as the investigation results seemingly rule out any influence of poison. The questioning of witnesses, the forensic pathologist, and some of the dinner guests makes many a supposed innocent lamb in the hall appear suspicious.
Eagerly and in high spirits, the famous detective sets his little gray cells in motion. "Swabian cunning" begins to spread, but no false home builder will mislead the master so easily. For him, the solution to the case is soon clear. As always, though, he keeps us in the dark for a while before the killer is virtuously caught.

Perhaps you will soon have the solution as well, as you will also have a say this evening.

The 3-course menu is served by the gastro team at Hotel Schweizerhof Zurich. The Krimi Dinner will commence at 7 PM, promising to provide thrills for both nerves and palate. Doors open at 6:30 PM.

Culinary enjoyment and thrills: Guests at Rössli Illnau in Illnau-Effretikon are offered quite a lot: exquisitely served, spontaneously staged. The COMEDY Kriminal Dinner – this is a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish ambiance framed by a crime play:

“Testament à la Carte“ - an opening of a will with a bite!

Prof. William Chattney is dead. He was a famous scientist. However, before the will can be read, the life of the deceased must be reconstructed with the help of the guests. It would actually be no problem if it weren't for Detective Johnson. He is investigating, as Chattney's death is a violent crime.

Who killed Chattney and how? What was he researching? And what secret did he take to the grave? The notary Mr. Green and his loyal assistant Manfred have their hands full: They are checking the surveillance cameras of the estate, reading with the help of Herbert Wandschneider from the future, and Dr. Sten-Gelle unites cosmic energy with science, just to solve the riddle. In the end, it is still Extrem Norbert, who, supported by the audience, initiates the turnaround.

The actors spontaneously involve the audience time and again through their long-standing experience as improvisation artists in the crime story. Delicacies and entertainment, unpredictable developments and astonishing twists alternate.

The two performers use a variety of means of expression, play several characters, and have a keen sense of the audience. Their joy in acting is hard to restrain and delights the audience. “The thrilling uncertainty and the moment of surprise – both in the audience and on stage – that’s what makes the charm.”

The tempting multi-course menu is served and created by the kitchen team at Rössli Illnau. The thrill for nerves and palates starts at 7 PM, with entry from 6:30 PM.

Much to the dismay of yoga icon Eva Endlich, who would have preferred to send her guests to bed early. After all, tomorrow's program includes "Yoga at sunrise". But what was announced as a funny game night turns into bitter reality: A corpse hangs lifeless over the garden fence - with an arrow in the chest. A competition between the rival sports groups? Or a sinister version of the "Game of Life"? Roll the dice! It's about nothing less than the truth and the necessity to find the perpetrator(s)!

The multi-course menu will be served by the gastro team at Hotel Kettenbrücke, which will guarantee thrills for both nerves and palate. Doors open at 18:30 - the event starts at 19:00.

Entry: 18:30 / Multi-course menu and theater play are included in the price / Table and seating will be assigned on-site.

Das Kriminal Dinner - Krimidinner mit Kitzel für Nerven und Gaumen

The Swabian Criminal Dinner ‘Sherlock Holmes and the Poisoned Maultäschlesoup’ – a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish atmosphere surrounded by an exciting criminal case at Hotel Seepark in Thun.

‘Sherlock Holmes and the Poisoned Maultäschlesoup’

Yes, you read that right, the famous master detective Sherlock Holmes and yours truly, Dr. Watson, have found themselves in the Swabian region. Admittedly, not entirely voluntarily. However, our genius could not decline the invitation of an old acquaintance, Baroness von Zuckerberg, to a gala dinner once again. So here we are dining in the side room of the restaurant, where on this evening you will enjoy a delicious 3-course menu.

While fleeing from his dinner neighbor, the endlessly chatting Swabian baroness, the detective narrowly misses the alleged murder of the hostess's husband, Baron von Zuckerberg.

Well, his health condition was not the best. But to suddenly topple face forward into the Maultäschlesoup is also not the proper English way to die, even in Swabia. For Sherlock Holmes, however, the previously deadly boring evening is saved.

A dialect crime is on the agenda, an extremely tricky case indeed, as the investigation results seemingly rule out any influence of poison. The questioning of witnesses, the forensic pathologist, and some of the dinner guests makes several innocent little lambs in the room appear suspicious. Eagerly and in high spirits, the famous detective cranks up his little gray cells. "Swabian cunning" is already spreading, but no false builder will fool the master so quickly. For him, the solution to the case soon becomes clear. As always, however, he will leave us in the dark for a while longer before the murderer is virtuously caught.

Perhaps you will soon have the solution as well, because you too will have a say on this evening.

The 3-course menu will be served by the gastro team at Hotel Seepark. The Krimi Dinner will commence at 7 PM, guaranteeing thrills for both nerves and palate. Doors open at 6:30 PM.

Entry: 6:30 PM / Menu and theater performance are included in the price / Table and seating will be assigned on site.

tAKiDA - SECTION 7 TOUR

ROCK RADIO HITS THAT GET UNDER YOUR SKIN

Since the release of their debut album in 2006, the alternative rockers Takida have been living in the fast lane. With their mainstream-ready rock radio material, the band initially won over their home country and eventually all of Scandinavia. Ever since the release of the 2024 album "The Agony Flame," the multi-Platinum musicians have been convincing rock fans across Europe with their catchy songs.

They lead radio airplay charts, perform in increasingly larger venues, and bring their unmistakable sound to a continuously growing fan base. The Swedish multi-Platinum group Takida is rushing from success to success. In 2023, the band embarked on their biggest tour to date, taking them through sold-out arenas in their home country and onto major festival stages throughout Europe, including one of the main stages at Wacken Open Air. Their "Smoke & Mirrors" tour in April 2024 continued the success story with sold-out shows in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. With the latest album "The Agony Flame," their recognition increased even further. The band also made its debut on the Swiss charts with this album. The long player once again embodies the unmistakable Takida sound with its infectious, anthemic choruses. Singer Robert Pettersson presents himself in absolutely top form. With "The Lonliest Hour," the first song from the album, released as a standalone single beforehand and directly entering at number 1 on the German Rock Radio airplay charts, Takida also achieved their biggest radio success to date. With strong and emotional songs like "Your Blood Awaits You," "Third Strike," and "On The Line," "The Agony Flame" offers further hit candidates. The songs elevate Takida's thrilling live sets to the next level. And now, the band announces their return to Pratteln in spring 2027. Diebuehrers.com wrote about the last live show of the Swedes at Z7: "From the first note, the atmosphere among the fans was excellent, and there was no holding back. With hits like ‘Master’ and ‘Losing,’ the crowd went wild. The powerful voice of Robert Petterson gave the songs an unimaginable intensity. Fans enjoyed the set from the first to the last note. A concert that got under your skin."

Das Kriminal Dinner - Krimidinner mit Kitzel für Nerven und Gaumen

The Kriminal Dinner 'Sherlock Holmes und die vergiftete Maultäschlesupp' - a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish setting framed by an exciting criminal case at the Restaurant Hahn in Basel.

'Sherlock Holmes und die vergiftete Maultäschlesupp'

Yes, you read that right, the famous master detective Sherlock Holmes and yours truly, Dr. Watson, have found themselves in the Swabian region. Admittedly, not entirely voluntarily. But our genius could not decline the invitation of an old acquaintance, the Baroness von Zuckerberg, to a gala dinner once again. So here we are dining just at the time in the adjoining room of the restaurant, where you will enjoy a delicious 3-course menu this evening.

While fleeing from his chatty dining companion, the endlessly talking baroness, the detective barely misses the apparent murder of the hostess's husband, Baron von Zuckerberg.

Well, his health was not the best. But falling suddenly face-first into the Maultäschlesupp is not the proper English way to die, even in Swabia. For Sherlock Holmes, however, the previously deadly boring evening is saved.

A crime is at hand, an extremely tricky case too, as the investigation results seemingly rule out any influence of poison. The questioning of witnesses, the forensic pathologist, and some of the dinner guests makes quite a few innocent lambs in the room appear suspicious.
Eagerly and in good spirits, the famous detective starts engaging his little gray cells. Soon, "Swabian cunning" takes hold, but no false house builder will easily fool the master. For him, the solution to the case will soon be clear. As always, however, he keeps us in the dark for a while longer before the murderer is virtuously caught.

Perhaps you will soon have the solution at hand as well, since you too will have a word to say this evening.

The 3-course menu will be served by the gastro team at Restaurant Hahn. The Krimi Dinner will open at 5 PM, which will guarantee a thrill for nerves and taste buds. Doors open at 4:30 PM.

Admission: 4:30 PM / Menu and theater play are included in the price / Table and seating will be assigned on site.

Amorphis - Borderlands Tour 2027

MELANCHOLY & STRENGTH

Nordic melancholy meets progressive soundscapes and healthy strength: the cult band Amorphis comes to Pratteln with their unique blend of melodic death metal, folk, epic melodies, powerful metal anthems, and atmospheric sounds. On the “Borderland Tour 2027”, the Finns will present their current album. The supporting acts are Insomnium and Unto Others.

Since the 90s, Amorphis has been one of the most influential bands in their genre. With albums like “Tales From The Thousand Lakes” and “Queen of Time,” they have continuously developed their unmistakable sound, combining powerful riffs with profound lyrics often inspired by Finnish mythology. Fans of demanding, modern metal sounds will be well catered for here. On the ongoing tour, Amorphis presents their latest album “Borderline,” which was created in their first collaboration with Danish producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Amaranthe, Epica, Evergrey, among others). Esa Holopainen states: “Amorphis has an unmistakable sound and a unique approach to making music. Six strong personalities in the band certainly bring their own challenges to the production process – especially for the producer. Jacob was chosen for several important reasons: He has already worked with an impressively diverse array of artists and is an incredibly calm, creative, and resourceful producer.” The result sounds fantastic. Band leader Esa Holopainen seems to have an endless supply of brilliant melodies. Metal1.info writes: “The first association with ‘Borderland’ is joy of playing: when you hear these songs for the first time, you can directly envision the euphoria on the faces of the musicians as they work on these songs, playing the riffs, solos, choruses, bridges, and more. The fact that Amorphis dares to try one or two experiments greatly enriches ‘Borderland,’ but what’s more crucial is that the Finns have rethought established elements: Amorphis sounds unmistakably like themselves on ‘Borderland’ – yet also at times more melodic, at times heavier, and above all more compelling than ever before.” The Metal Hammer critic gives the top rating and concludes his review as follows: “This band sounds more Finnish than the Finnish national anthem and will surely be declared a national cultural asset soon.”

DELAIN DIFFERENT THAN BEFORE

DELAIN will open a new chapter in 2027 and present an extraordinary concert format on stage. Together with Marko Hietala and other guests, a unique live experience will be created that connects the past and future of the band. Fans can look forward to a special evening beyond a classic tour show.

For over two decades, DELAIN has established itself as a major force in modern melodic metal. Since the debut album "Lucidity," the band has represented a distinctive blend of catchy melodies, orchestral arrangements, and powerful guitars. Albums like "April Rain," "We Are the Others," and "The Human Contradiction" have shaped this journey, while "Dark Waters" (2023) marked the band's biggest success yet with top-10 placements in Germany and the US Hard Music Charts. Behind the band is mastermind Martijn Westerholt, who founded DELAIN after leaving Within Temptation and has been continuously developing it since.

In February 2027, DELAIN will embark on a special concept tour: instead of a classic show, the audience can expect a specially curated live format with changing high-profile guests and musical surprises. At the center of this is also the renewed collaboration with Marko Hietala, whose shared past has produced some of the most significant moments in the band's history. Other contributors will be announced at a later date. Simultaneously, the band is working on new material set to be released before the tour, marking the beginning of this new phase. With only a few selected dates, this tour promises an intense and unique concert experience that goes far beyond a typical live evening.

Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre - Udo Fröhliche

BENJAMIN VON STUCKRAD-BARRE
»UDO FRÖHLICHE«

»I didn't know sooooo much myself anymore. Seems like an interesting bird, this Udo-Gerhard.« (Udo Lindenberg)

On the occasion of Udo Lindenberg's 80th birthday in May 2026, Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre's book »Udo Fröhliche« was published. The close examination of the exceptional artist Lindenberg by his dedicated superfan and long-time good friend Stuckrad-Barre became a literary event and bestseller. The book, celebrated by both the public and critics, debuted at number 2 on the SPIEGEL bestseller list, where it remained for many weeks.

In the 59 biographical short stories of »Udo Fröhliche«, a vivid picture of this quintessential folk singer emerges, someone who has changed the Federal Republic, its society, the language, and thereby also the way of thinking. At the same time, this book tells about being a fan through Lindenberg's insightful and original perspective, covering 80 years of the Federal Republic, about art, and the life of an artist – from alcohol to cello and wanderlust, roller skates, language, hotels, and hats to cigars.

Starting this autumn, Stuckrad-Barre will embark on a large tour with »Udo Fröhliche«. And anyone who has ever attended a Stuckrad-Barre reading knows that on these evenings, a book is not just read aloud but celebrated. Stuckrad-Barre interprets his text, plays, improvises, sings – and sometimes reads as well.

Since his autobiographical novel »Panikherz« (published in 2016), the audience of Stuckiman (Lindenberg's nickname for Stuckrad-Barre, which he even has certified as his stage name on his ID) knows and loves his always affectionate and never parodic way of presenting Lindenberg quotes, so to speak, as if he were Udo himself, and thus Udo will be present in voice at every evening of this reading tour: gentle and wise, always a little different, otherwise it wouldn’t be Udo. Stuckiman always carries him along, holds him within, because, as Stuckrad-Barre says: »Since my childhood, I have been preparing for these evenings.«

Doors open: 18:30

Whitechapel - Burn Forever Tour 2027

CULTIVATED BRUTALITY

For 20 years, Whitechapel from Knoxville have represented cultivated deathcore and death metal. With their ninth album "Hymns Of Dissonance", the Americans have returned in 2025 to the uncompromisingly brutal sound of their early days. In 2027, they will come to Europe with the "Burn Forever Tour" to knock out fans with their blastbeat anthems. Supporting acts: Sylosis, 200 Stab Wounds, and Tribal Gaze.

"Hymns In Dissonance" – the title of the current Whitechapel album is programmatic. "There is nothing beautiful about HID, from the riffs to the lyrics to the overall melody of the album. We tried to write our hardest album yet. We wanted to release something that is shockingly menacing and brutal," says guitarist Alex Wade about the band's latest work. "The album follows the story of a cultist who gathers people to join his cult. There are moments in this story where the cult followers sing an anthem to open a portal through which the main cultist can enter." The dynamic, brutal musicality of the band provides the perfect soundtrack to the captivating story that singer Phil Bozeman vividly imagines: "'Hymns in Dissonance' is a mockery of the true nature of hymns," he says. "Hymns are melodic and harmonious. Dissonance is the exact opposite of melody and harmony. It represents evil. And the tracks on the album represent the seven deadly sins." A critic from Metal Hammer magazine writes about the band's latest output: "We have only just gotten used to the fact that Whitechapel musically opened a new, quieter chapter in their band career with 'The Valley', which continued on the 2021 work 'Kin'. Those who expected a continuation of that will be not only surprised but also overwhelmed by 'Hymns Of Dissonance'!" He summarizes the relentless death storm as follows: "For over ten tracks, it rages on in every shade of red rage. The blastbeat machinery fires incessantly, and Philip Bozeman's diabolical vocals swing between growling growls and hissing shouts." There is truly no room for sentimentality.

Who killed Chattney and how? What was he researching? And what secret did he take to his grave?

Creedence Clearwater Review - CCR Tribute - Bad Moon Rising-Tour

BAD MOON RISING

Creedence Clearwater Revival provided the soundtrack for an entire generation. Immortal classics like "Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," "Have You Ever Seen The Rain," or "Fortunate Son" are still part of rock history today. With Creedence Clearwater Review, one of the best British CCR tribute bands brings these timeless songs back to the stage. On February 21, 2027, the formation will be at Z7 with their "Bad Moon Rising Tour."

Creedence Clearwater Revival were among the most successful rock bands in America at the end of the 60s and the beginning of the 70s. Although their joint career lasted only a few years, John Fogerty and his companions left behind an impressive catalog of hits, whose unmistakable blend of rock'n'roll, blues, country, and southern rock continues to excite to this day. Creedence Clearwater Review are completely dedicated to this musical legacy and revive the characteristic CCR sound with great enthusiasm and authentic feeling. At their concerts, one classic follows another: "Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," "Have You Ever Seen The Rain," or "Up Around The Bend" create a great atmosphere from the very first note. The Brits do not limit themselves exclusively to the major CCR hits but also honor John Fogerty's later works with songs like "The Old Man Down The Road" and "Rockin' All Over The World." An exhilarating journey back to the golden era of American roots rock.

Bloodred Hourglass - European Spring Tour 2027

EXPLOSIVE ENERGY

With the current album "We Should Be Buried Like This," the Finnish modern death heroes Bloodred Hourglass present themselves more uncompromising, harder, and darker than ever before. In the spring of 2027, BRHG will come to Z7 for one of their explosive live performances. The supporting acts Brymir and Pridian also leave nothing to be desired.

Founded in 2005 as a thrash and groove metal band, Bloodred Hourglass from Mikkeli, Finland, has over the years distanced itself from its roots and developed into a dominating force within the modern melodic death metal scene. Across seven full-length albums, BRHG have consistently evolved their sound while integrating new elements without losing their characteristic intensity. With the last album "We Should Be Buried Like This," Jarkko Koukonen (vocals), Lauri Silvonen (guitar/vocals), Jose Moilanen (bass), Jarkko Hyvönen (drums), Joni Lahdenkauppi (guitar), and Eero Silvonen (guitar) have once again created compelling soundscapes where melody and aggression collide. With "We Should Be Buried Like This," the Finnish powerhouse delivers a bold and relentless statement, showcasing a band that continuously refines and perfects its sound. BRHG has long been distinguished by their ability to fuse the rawness of thrash and groove metal with metalcore, alternative, and melodic death into a cohesive whole. The result is as dynamic and emotional as it is heavy and entertaining—a blend that has earned them a loyal international fan base and much critical acclaim. Metal.de writes about the latest release: "The tracks are denser, eviler, and more focused than previous releases. Aggressive vocals meet synth fragments, blast beats and melody clash with one another, delivering a relentless symbiosis. No randomness, no noise—but structured escalation with a clear goal." On February 27, the tour destination is Pratteln. We are ready for an intense night filled with blazing riffs, explosive energy, and a captivating emotional depth.
