01.02.2025 | Escalation Fest 2025 - Oberhausen

[small sentinel]

OMG this gives me happy tears again

[tidal scarab]

That was definitely the most successful mc shift I’ve ever participated in.

[placid oriole]

it was

though my feet ( @hoary holly ) hurt so bad during and after it

[wanton grove]

Because I haven’t seen it uploaded here, here’s one of the bits I always film and missed when it was cut from the set for festivals

[round spruce]

Is it still uploading or did you forget to add the file? 😅

[wanton grove]

Oh guess it didn’t upload as It’s too big
Lemme chop it in two

[placid oriole]

send it to yourself in whatsapp and download it then

file will be much smaller them

[round spruce]

https://tenor.com/view/small-tiny-little-too-small-not-huge-gif-25307813

[placid oriole]

average

[unique pewter]

Here‘s another one from a bit higher up

[wanton grove]

Your brain is Kevin-Sized
Ok here goes:

[ornate mural]

https://youtu.be/JJDimE0k0Hg?si=BeFpsUvWKL_kools So I have uploaded all the full version videos I took at EF to YT also. I think maybe one or two videos I missed the first few seconds.

This one is just one of the videos

[quaint summit]

I didn't even know that it was planned.

[tacit cape]

Well at least, we will be able to organize something better

[fossil zenith]

That was really spontaneous, even after we finally got our coats. Wasn't sure I would be going, but then the possibility of fries came up...
🤤

[quaint summit]

I was laying in bed with a hungry stomach.

Next time we'll organise it better (WA group )

Fries are good

Ngl, the hype slows down and Fomo is real

[fossil zenith]

Ooooh nooo!

Yeah, we really need to organize something for after the concert as well, I'm always so pumped that I couldn't go to sleep even if I tried...

[quaint summit]

Good thing is it wasn't the last time.
And exactly this. I need at least 1 or 2 hours to calm down

[round spruce]

Not everyone wanted to join the wa group with the bigger meeting 🤷‍♀️

[warm wasp]

Love how much the Rudolf Weber Arena is posting on Instagram about EF

They usually don't do this

[quaint summit]

I thought there were only groups for the hotels

[bleak hollow]

ooh, I wasn't following them. Imean EF is one of their best sellign events I guess, sold out year after year

[warm wasp]

Smart way to get some traffic onto their pages too

[round spruce]

Well some people expressed that they don't WhatsApp so not everyone joined those if it was only on wa

[bleak hollow]

I also didn't realize there was wa group which was not hotel related.. anyways.. next year we'll be smarter 😄

[round spruce]

There wasn't. But saying that wa groups won't work as not everyone wants to join those.

[bleak hollow]

aah, got it

[round spruce]

But ofc planning anything beforehand is better than not planning, that's why I kept pushing at least some plans to be finalised already quite early.
We also saw that not everyone had for example internet connection during the day and so on so it was hard for some.to make impromptu plans etc.

[queen raptor]

i think there were groups that hung out because of hotels and because of prior connections and there wasn't a group, we've only had that 1-1.5h or something meeting at the mall and then everyone went to do their own things in their own groups (i assume)

[glass drift]

we should just make a group DM in Discord

since all of y'all have that

[round spruce]

there is a limit of ppl allowed, already thought of that

[glass drift]

isn't that like 20 or so?

oh 10

that sucks

[queen raptor]

we could make a new private server the next time we need a space for many people to communicate through

[glass drift]

worst case we do that, with non-public invite links, ye

[fossil zenith]

Sooo late to the party, but here are my favourite shots from EF

[lone cave]

The shoe shot is glorious

[ornate mural]

Great pictures!! Also I need the leather jacket Kevin has! Maybe I can sparkle up the one I already have

[fossil zenith]

It's a beloved tradition atp

[abstract ravine]

We have already made bracelets and pins, next we'll all be bedazzling everything black we own

[ornate mural]

Sounds perfect

[fossil zenith]

Oooof, that might take me a while...

[mystic vapor]

Even more?!

[abstract ravine]

Well you were light years ahead of us on this trend

[unique pewter]

Well we cannot all be as sparkly as you already are

[mystic vapor]

Fr

I still take inspiration credits for their stage outfits

[mystic vapor]

🥹🥹

[abstract ravine]

@mystic vapor I need your predictions on what the themes and styles will be for their next singles so I can pre-order the right beads for more bracelets

[mystic vapor]

Well I hope they stay with the glitter trend

At least a bird told me that they will keep the stage outfits for a while probably

[unique pewter]

So glitter it is

[mystic vapor]

Exactly

[abstract ravine]

I've already got two more packs of black beads on the way. Mix in a couple clear or silver ones for glitter effect. Easy peasy

[mystic vapor]

🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

[unique pewter]

The good thing is: we still have some time to figure it out for November

We are expecting a tank stream today - right? Did I hear that correctly yesterday?
So maybe he‘ll talk a bit about EF?

I just need something to look forward to

[abstract ravine]

Hoping he pops on at his usual Thursday time

I need him to share his airplane trick for getting the row to himself some time before November

[unique pewter]

Yeah!

[abstract ravine]

He said he was sick just as he arrived in Deutschland before EF. I'm curious as to how that went.

[fossil zenith]

Yeah, he also was congested on his way back.
🤞

[fossil zenith]

Samesame... the sparkle of the weekend is wearing off...

[mystic vapor]

Glad that this is TBS today but yea I feel you

[unique pewter]

Have fun tonite

[mystic vapor]

Thank you🫶🏼

[small sentinel]

Speaking of sparkles, a little trick I did (unbeknownst to me I was already in the correct sparkle mood on Saturday with da bois): find a fishnet top with sparkles (I found mine on amzn) - then you can wear it under your fave black band shirts without having to bedazzle them all 🪩🤘😁

[wanton grove]

Yell at them to play barsch pls

[mystic vapor]

I wish they would ngl😔

[wanton grove]

Finally finished my diary entry from EF. I have a poor memory, and I know how quickly things slip away, so I like to write everything down as soon as I can after a special show or event

I can really recommend it as a tactic

[unique pewter]

Woaaahhh that’s so cool! Need to steal that idea

[wanton grove]

It’s fun to have them from every show (7 now), this was my first time ever seeing them in Berlin

[blazing fulcrum]

Make a sign!

[shrewd robin]

Throw a plastic fish at them

[placid oriole]

Barsch

[unique pewter]

Why don’t they?

[mystic vapor]

A real one

[wanton grove]

This is the only language they understand

[shrewd robin]

Exactly

[wanton grove]

I don’t know if you can communicate with them using written language

[mystic vapor]

Not really

[quaint summit]

Thank you

[drowsy fog]

Tank just mentioned the Schokobons he got 🥳

[sage mesa]

These are great! I can see my wife (she had emergency surgery the week before) and one of our mates having a great time on the seats. A couple of my pals and myself were down on the floor.

[ornate mural]

I just missed that before I came into the stream. 😆 Thanks! Heheh. I asked if he liked some of the other stuff. But chat is glitching and going by fast.

[drowsy fog]

He was very happy about getting them 🍫

[ornate mural]

Oh yay! Did he say anything about the card or the cleaning cloth?

[drowsy fog]

no, he just mentioned the schoko bons, I think his mind was on chocolate

[unique pewter]

Not even sure if he saw the rest of the gift…… Kinder Schokolade is all that matters

[orchid ridge]

Speaking of sparkles, I was promised glitter for my beard last weekend, and I am a little bummed I never got any!

[ornate mural]

Probably xD

[ornate mural]

True hehe. It’s very important

[mystic vapor]

I am sorry but I didn't found you when I was around with my glitter 😭

[warm wasp]

We need to get you on ECs payroll to wait behind security with glitter

[mystic vapor]

FOR REAL

[shrewd robin]

What else is there

[unique pewter]

excuse me?

[shrewd robin]

SCHOKIIIII

[unique pewter]

but… ah never mind …

[shrewd robin]

||I know what you mean I bet he liked the other gifts just as much but you know he loves his Kinder Schoki 🤣||

[round spruce]

He's only mentioned the Kinder choco all the time anyone has asked 🤷‍♀️

[tacit cape]

Someone is maybe addict to something here XD

[unique pewter]

tunnel vision

doesnt matter as long as he got at least one part of it

[sage mesa]

A crowd surfer put this on my head during EC. It came home to the UK with me. I had to Google Translate to make sure it wasn't hate speech

[ornate mural]

Love it xD

[stiff mist]

These are the most beautiful film recordings of the acoustic set that I could find so far. Note the cute dancing couple in the foreground during crawling 🥹🫶. The recordings are from @noahbstgs on Instagram. Of course I asked for permission before sharing them here.

[fossil zenith]

Uuuuh, I love that saying! That's kind of my motto...

[fossil zenith]

That second chorus when Nico stands up just tugs at my -strings big time...

[shrewd robin]

Thanks for sharing

This moment is just so beautiful

[unique pewter]

This never stops being the most beautiful thing and I don’t wanna quote Christian again but…. Have you ever seen something that beautiful??

[shrewd robin]

Nein!

[tidal scarab]

I have never been so instantaneously hit with tears at a show before. Incredible moment.

[shrewd robin]

THIS

[glass drift]

same, looked at gf and almost shed a tear, was hard keeping composure

[unique pewter]

Exactly. I couldn’t anymore…

Still getting wet eyes only thinking about it

[graceful cargo]

After ca 1 week tiktok is full of EF and I want it one more time can not wait till the tour

[fossil zenith]

Yuppp, that's the bad thing about EC live - once you got your first fix of this drug, you just desperately crave for more...

[graceful cargo]

Hopefully we see us in Hamburg again

[fossil zenith]

Nope, won't do Hamburg - I considered going but instead decided for Prague

[graceful cargo]

Okay

[fossil zenith]

Wouldn't Frankfurt be closer for you?

[graceful cargo]

We have tickets for Hamburg, that's why I ask

[abstract ravine]

All that fidgeting with the earpiece... I feel bad if it bothers him that much.

As long as it doesn't cause infection, though, that's the important thing.

[bleak hollow]

I think (hope) it's more to be able to hear the audience

[queen raptor]

i've seen some vocalists constantly touch and move their in-ears, take them out and put them back in, might be nothing

[round spruce]

Also in the end when he took the other out, maybe he just wanted to hear the audience to sing along

[abstract ravine]

I thought this at first, but he seems to take it out and put it back in at other times, too. Maybe not.

[queen raptor]

the amount of times i touched and made sure my in-ears were in place during EF 😂

[abstract ravine]

Maybe it's a bit if a coping mechanism for nerves?

Like a sense of assurance

[queen raptor]

idk, it was a reflex for me, also with movement they moved too and i wanted to have them exactly in the place i liked

[small sentinel]

He moved his over-ears as well on and off his ears - depending on what he needs to hear I guess

[abstract ravine]

This could be true, especially if his don't sit as deeply in the ears as normal ones

[queen raptor]

i'm watching a recording of a live set of a different band and the vocalist can't decide what he wants to do with his left in-ear and repositions both every 5 minutes or so

[abstract ravine]

I was hoping the custom in ears would help him in that regard, but here's hoping it's not bothersome. Just a way to hear the audience

[small sentinel]

Nah I don't think they bother him, he just wants to hear the audience / surroundings sometimes and other times the in-ear stuff

[fossil zenith]

He fiddles with his in-ears way less than when he first got them imo, so I think it's what @small sentinel said

[abstract ravine]

Good. Was concerned that it is always his left one he adjusts, and it's his left ear that gave him trouble in the past, correct?

[queen raptor]

i think it was both

[round spruce]

Doesn't he have a mic on his right usually? So would make sense that his left hand is more free to do adjustments on the ears

[small sentinel]

Maybe because he has his mic in his right?

[queen raptor]

big brain

[round spruce]

https://tenor.com/view/brain-brain-meme-big-brain-big-brain-meme-big-brain-time-gif-2441110471562975014

[abstract ravine]

Mostly, from what I've seen, though he can do the mic flip with both hands.

He did almost drop it once, though

[fossil zenith]

At EF?

[ornate mural]

Same Had to make sure the loops were in place xD

[abstract ravine]

No, i can't remember exactly where i saw it. I'm thinking either Pier 17 in NYC, or maybe one of the big German festivals, Rock am Ring or Rock im Park? Not sure.

[fossil zenith]

I'm always holding my breath when he does that!
😆

[queen raptor]

@ornate mural you filmed the whole mindreader

[ornate mural]

I did! Had to ofc! It’s up on my YouTube. Unless that’s where you found it.

One of my favorite songs so.

[queen raptor]

yep, found it there, i didn't manage to film the whole moment since it took me by surprise and i couldn't find any recordings that did

[ornate mural]

Aww, well I’m glad you found my recording then.

So I’m going to share the pictures I took at the discord meetup again. And some selfies with a few of you.

[warm wasp]

[ornate mural]

Also. If you are in here Phil, that was at the select hotel with us, message me or answer here! Hehe. I forgot your username. And there’s like 10 Phil in the server xD

[ornate mural]

[crimson yacht]

My face on that 9th photo

[ornate mural]

«Im soo over this gaaaaahd»

[queen raptor]

this is great, i can ask who's who

[crimson yacht]

Just been laughing with brendan with tears down my face who's telling me to use it as a profile picture

[ornate mural]

Omg. Do it xD hehehe

[queen raptor]

do it you won't

[ornate mural]

There’s a few good ones of your side profile that you can use as a profile picture

[queen raptor]

i just saw i have a double chin so no

[ornate mural]

I don’t see no double chin

[queen raptor]

but i also don't want my face to be directly linked to me online

[ornate mural]

I get that

[abstract ravine]

I can hear this gif haha

[fossil zenith]

A bit like my face on photo #7

[quaint summit]

@ornate mural so many lovely and hilarious pics

[tidal scarab]

Great photos! What a fun meet up.

[ornate mural]

Thanks! And yeah hehehe

[ornate mural]

It was!

[quaint summit]

Can't wait for Vol. 4

Kind im nebel

[warm wasp]

🤯

[meager sage]

To whoever it was that said that a MCT jump video from high above was desired... There you go, section 105, row J.
It's not the best of all qualities but wait for the zoom out that my friend did... It still felt like being right in the middle even up there 🥰

[whole willow]

MCT should remain on the set list forever. Not only one of my personal favs but the crowd goes wild. Like another level wild 😜..sooo goooodd

[wanton grove]

I love ever single MCT jump video and this one is no exception! Thanks for sharing 🔥

[fossil zenith]

Beautiful pictures... 😍

[fossil zenith]

This time last week....

[warm wasp]

I miss the cookies

[unique pewter]

I miss Stropwaffle girl

And all you guys too

[ornate mural]

This week has gone by so fast!

[small sentinel]

Miss you too!!!

[fossil zenith]

And me??

[small sentinel]

Okay, I kinda miss you too....

[round spruce]

Do we get a proper video by ec from arrow of love

[small sentinel]

Before all this missing is getting out of hand: I miss all of you!!!

[fossil zenith]

Hopefully! I completely missed the fan special because I was so focused on the stage

[cold flame]

We can hope 👀🫶🏻

[ornate mural]

Same!

[quaint summit]

now I'm sad

Miss you all

[queen raptor]

feels like EF was a year ago and it's only been a week

[quaint summit]

Can't believe it's been only a week

[bleak hollow]

I'm not even sure anymore it really happened

[queen raptor]

i don't remember much from it so maybe it didn't

[quaint summit]

I still have memory loss from certain thi gs

[bleak hollow]

was a shared fever dream

[quaint summit]

It must've been

[somber seal]

Mum’s put her pin on her jacket, dad has his on his jacket, mine is on my pin board, thank you @orchid ridge 💗

[orchid ridge]

Love it!!!

[lofty yoke]

Oh dear picturing me while I was eating my fries 😵‍💫😅

But that are so many good memories :3

[warm wasp]

Us trying to summon the others by playing elevator music

[lofty yoke]

Me be like “I just know this guy who’s from a different part of Germany for like 10minutes but we already vibe” 😅✨

But I think getting that ticket to EF was a VERY spontaneous decision which I never would regret. Thanks to you all guys ❤️

[crimson yacht]

be careful with your pin mine went through the washing machine sadly

[lofty yoke]

Ohno 😦

[warm wasp]

I was so happy to find someone so quick lol

[somber seal]

Dad’s jacket!!!

[lofty yoke]

First I thought I would be such an introverted-ish person but after the show etc. I was like: “again!” 🥰🥹

[lofty yoke]

I think I have mine still somewhere..

[crimson yacht]

Just make sure you remove it from clothing before washing lol

[ornate mural]

Heheh sorry xD. Just had to take some quick pictures before I forgot again

[lofty yoke]

Yep

[orchid ridge]

Would be nice to have something to show people

[steep field]

dan said they filmed the whole show so probably, yes

[cold flame]

That’s exciting

[fossil zenith]

And I seem to have lost my pin... 😭

[orchid ridge]

Guess I need to make more for November!

[ornate mural]

I think I got an extra! Or two I’ll bring if we see each other before the next EF!

[agile rover]

i need one of those as well

[ornate mural]

Wait you didn’t get one? Oh noo. Oh if I knew I would have given one to you at the airport. I think I got 3/4 of them. I’ll give you one this summer.

[mossy yacht]

Hey guys! Would be great if you could attend in the Escalation Fest 2025 survey: https://survey.electricescorts.com/
It's anonymous and would be a great form of feedback and help for ECs planing on the next Escalation Fest.

[drowsy fog]

I need help, how was the diversity of food and drinks? I stood near the barricade and didn`t leave my place the whole time so I have no idea what I should choose

[glass drift]

The website has all of it listed: https://www.rudolf-weber-arena.de/speisen-und-getraenke/gastronomiestaende/

just gotta translate it

tho most is self-explaining

[round spruce]

There were some places for food outside too that were not part of the usual Arena stuff tho?

[drowsy fog]

found it, thanks

[glass drift]

i think so yes, but aside of waffles i don't even know what they offered

[round spruce]

I did not eat inside either, so I don't really know what was outsisde as it was so cold...

[unique pewter]

There was also loaded fries outside

[queen raptor]

i would've loved that

[unique pewter]

They were goooood

[drowsy fog]

next time 🍟

[unique pewter]

Next year at EF I’ll invite you to some fries

[queen raptor]

danke though i'm most likely not going

[fossil zenith]

Yeah, a barbecue stand, vegan food, the fries, waffles and one or two others

[round spruce]

(beer)

[unique pewter]

But if you do, you’ll get fries

[wanton grove]

As MC Thunder i naturally had to sample the chicken nuggets (though not 20, I must admit)

They were solid

[fossil zenith]

Sooo, guys: what bands did you wish for in the survey??

[mystic vapor]

Donots, Bluthund, Statefall and From Fall to spring

I thought I not do delulu things for once

[fossil zenith]

Ha, I got 2 of the 4 as well

[mystic vapor]

Statefall and Donots?

[calm sluice]

Statefall, Flash Forward, Scooter, Papa Roach...forgot my last choice

[mystic vapor]

Ngl I forgot about Avralize

I should have put them on there too

[fossil zenith]

Also 2/4

Though I would so dig Scooter! But I guess that's not going to happen...

[calm sluice]

Papa roach is unrealistic but one can dream

[mystic vapor]

I tried to not bring back my delulu brain and also bands that haven't played EF yet

[queen raptor]

only unrealistic ones

[calm sluice]

Ahhh...I remember...5th choice was House of protection

[ornate mural]

Solence, venues, Eleine, samurai pizza cats ooh. And Stesy

[queen raptor]

damn, that would be good

[queen raptor]

bloodywood, imminence, currents, silent planet, bury tomorrow

[shrewd robin]

HOW COULD I FORGET BURY TOMORROW AND IMMINENCE

Wait...

Orbit Culture, Statefall, Caliban, Feuerschwanz and the last one I actually forgot

[ornate mural]

Oooh. Yesss. Feruerschwanz!! That would be awesome! Aaand also imminence!

[mystic vapor]

Okay so almost everyone put Statefall on there

[mystic vapor]

Hopefully they hear us screaming then

[shrewd robin]

I said Feuerschwanz cause that would be funny af and also Sabaton and Powerwolfs stage shows are too big so

[shrewd robin]

JAN PLS

[mystic vapor]

Fabio told me at EF that they would love to play EF and that if we want to see them there we should yell at EC

I hope we yell loud enough this time

[shrewd robin]

Oh we will damn yell loud enough omfg

[ornate mural]

It would! I love the drum solo so much.
Aaah yeah true, ooh I hope I can get a ticket for Sabaton this year 🤞🏻

[mystic vapor]

We didn't yell loud enough last time apparently

[shrewd robin]

Tank can you help the kids out with this one pls

[mystic vapor]

This

[shrewd robin]

Uuurgh I wish but its too expensive

[shrewd robin]

He gets Orbit Culture and we get Statefall 😌

[mystic vapor]

EXACTLY

[whole willow]

Finch 🙂 I would love to see Finch at EF..would I fly over there for that? YEP

and Fäaschtbänkler 🙂 - completely different than EC..albeit...there is no such thing 🙂

[ornate mural]

Here it’s the ticket is actually 3 euros cheaper then the EC ticket 🫣

[ornate mural]

That would be fun!

[shrewd robin]

[ornate mural]

[queen raptor]

how cold i forget orbit culture but i think EC audience wouldn't really like them that much

[shrewd robin]

I am EC audience and I like them VERY much 🤣

[graceful cargo]

dont judge, but i choose: saltatio mortis, tokio hotel, donots, caliban, and the last one i dont know

[queen raptor]

i am EC audience and i loved holding absence and lvmrks but majority of EC audience didn't

[shrewd robin]

Well Pech for them

[mystic vapor]

Tokio Hotel would be ICONIC

[graceful cargo]

i'd say it doesnt supris me if they'll have a collab together

[queen raptor]

i'm pretty sure similar thing would happen with OC, they're too melodeath, wouldn't want OC to show up to a bored looking audience

[shrewd robin]

Honestly same

[graceful cargo]

i mean gustav and davids are friends for example

[shrewd robin]

We don't know that until it happens

[queen raptor]

i'd love tokio hotel just so that EC audience could experience the amazingness of Bill's stage outfits

[graceful cargo]

and since the accoutic session... i mean +

[mystic vapor]

At Deichbrand 2023 EC the whole of EC also watched their set tho

[queen raptor]

but we can gauge EC fans' tastes by their engagement with openings bands and which ones worked more and which ones worked less and then deduce what would work in the future

we know bury tomorrow worked cause american EC fans loved them

[shrewd robin]

But those are american fans not European fans 🤣

[queen raptor]

bloodywood has similar uptempo and bouncy vibe like EC and i see a lot of fans of both bands mingling online

[shrewd robin]

Ngl tho it will always be 50/50

[queen raptor]

true :/ but BT is enough of a modern metalcore with a punch that i could see eropean audience eating them up too

[shrewd robin]

Their tour was pretty good so bet

[graceful cargo]

we have lot of indicates

[queen raptor]

imminence is very feelsy, EC didn't care for HA's feelsy but imminence is screaming heavy feelsy so it cold work (i think)

but real talk, it'll be 4 german bands/artists, and one non-german band

[shrewd robin]

Then Orbit Culture would work as well if you go by that...for me they're in the same kinda category even if OC is a bit more heavy

[queen raptor]

unless they give up on inviting non-german bands to an audience who mostly cares for german artists during this kind of an event

[warm wasp]

I said Beatsteaks, not sure how realistic that is tho

[graceful cargo]

very good call

[shrewd robin]

I think I never listened to them

[graceful cargo]

i know a few songs

[queen raptor]

yeah but imminence still has the core, OC isn't a core band. Tank is working on convincing EC to invite OC, though, so we'll see

[graceful cargo]

i would continue to say what about broilers

[shrewd robin]

I mean we got a pretty mixed audience I think so eh

[warm wasp]

Broilers would be awesome too

[queen raptor]

EC is one of the hardest to please audiences

[shrewd robin]

Violin...core...not everyone likes that

[queen raptor]

i remember watching how they weren't vibing that much with nothing more, HA, etc

[shrewd robin]

Holy shit yeah

[graceful cargo]

"Das ist meine Familie, das ist mein Haus"

[queen raptor]

but i've been told it's normal and that people don't generally care about bands outside of the headliner. i don't know, i only saw EC headline

[queen raptor]

big german name, people would eat them up

[shrewd robin]

It is normal yeah

[mystic vapor]

Ein halbes Hähnchen?😛

[whole willow]

I think as long as EF is indoors and EC is headlining /because they are headliners at EF/ a lot of people will be going for EC exclusively...
because it might feel as an EC show with a couple of openers...
if EF ever becomes outdoor event (summer festival) with multiple stage (eg 2 instead of 1) then people might get the idea "it is a festival"

[warm wasp]

Maybe they meant the outdoor area outside the Rudolf Weber Arena

[queen raptor]

i also think this is very much a german event aimed at german public and their tastes and needs, people went crazy for some german opening bands during all 3 EF

[mystic vapor]

Ngl since they fw Hardstyle

Rooler would be fucking amazing to have there

[graceful cargo]

how possile could be i prevail could support act for ef

[shrewd robin]

It started out like that yeah but became more international over the years

[shrewd robin]

THEM! Omfg that was the 5th band I named 🤣

Thanks Phu damn

[mystic vapor]

Where are they from again?

I cannot sort how big they are ngl

[graceful cargo]

from good old detroid

[shrewd robin]

USA

[shrewd robin]

I would say medium

[mystic vapor]

Mmh..

Idk if they would come over here for just EF

Unless they have more shows here around the time of EF4

[mystic vapor]

That's what held me back from saying Nothing More on the survey

[shrewd robin]

Ngl next problem for more international bands tbh...

[mystic vapor]

That's why I was surprised we got AEU ngl

[graceful cargo]

i mean the dream of grenn day comes for ef is just a dream thats never comes true

[queen raptor]

and yet the audience was very german and reacted mostly to german bands (makes sense)

[mystic vapor]

A part of me still hopes for KIZ

[graceful cargo]

what abouzt alligatoah

i meeean

[queen raptor]

i think bigger than EC in the US, not sure about europe, but they get billed as high or higher than EC on festivals lineups

[shrewd robin]

Lets hope they don't announce the line up right when starting to sell tickets tho...cause then they would be gone FAST 🤣😭

[mystic vapor]

But all of you would actually see me losing my mind before EC even comes on stage if we get KIZ

I love them SO MUCH

[mystic vapor]

You believe to much into them

They would never announce the line up right away

[shrewd robin]

I know but still

[shrewd robin]

That would be funny af

[mystic vapor]

Mmh

I think the only thing why I dokt believe in that is bc it's US Band

[graceful cargo]

w call for emil bulls may be

[shrewd robin]

Ooohhh 👀

[graceful cargo]

i mean this little metal mouse

[mystic vapor]

I was about to suggest Swiss bc I forgor they played EF 2023

[queen raptor]

yeah, anyone from across the ocean would need to be touring around that time in europe, AEU could make a jump because it's not that far, just a pain in the ass

[graceful cargo]

i got the chance to them live for 2-3 month ago.. but hear them since i was 15 i guess... just a good band

[shrewd robin]

I only discovered them recently and yeah they're damn good

[mystic vapor]

Kafvka would actually be slay

[shrewd robin]

Don't know them tbh

[graceful cargo]

i want scream it out loud

[shrewd robin]

Flash Forward tho...

[graceful cargo]

das lumpenpack, zsk, rogers

[mystic vapor]

ZSK

They have quite some bands in the more political direction to choose from for the next few years if they keep the "one political Band Per Line Up" thing

[shrewd robin]

True

[mystic vapor]

FILOW PLS

[shrewd robin]

Bah nah pls don't

[mystic vapor]

(I am going full delulu again)

[graceful cargo]

deine cousine

[mystic vapor]

Fuck you I fw him sm

[graceful cargo]

itchy

[shrewd robin]

I do not like his music at all

[graceful cargo]

adam angst

[mystic vapor]

Mad at myself for missing out on his show in Hamburg

[graceful cargo]

what about kraftklub

[mystic vapor]

||pls no||

[shrewd robin]

BRUH

You like Filow but not Kraftklub tf ? 🤣😭

[mystic vapor]

I would love Scene Queen but I am also waiting for a german Tour of her so

[shrewd robin]

Did SPC open one year ?

[graceful cargo]

chunk no captain chúnk ,, other band of the landmvrks guiitarist paul wilson

[shrewd robin]

Or can we get them again ?

[mystic vapor]

It's actually not thr Band itself but I only met annoying Kraftclub Fans that's why I don't fw the band

[mystic vapor]

Yes the first one

[mystic vapor]

I mean I bet we could

But idk if so soon

[shrewd robin]

Bruuhhhh they so good ignore the damn fans

[shrewd robin]

I mean...they have maybe a few more songs by then...maybe so...👀

[mystic vapor]

Nah it's the same with Bad Omens

I can't fw them bc the Fans annoy me😭

[mystic vapor]

EXACTLY

[graceful cargo]

i know jennifer rostock paused, but

[shrewd robin]

So Statefall and SPC got it

[mystic vapor]

Yaenniver is her new Project

I saw her with Yaenniver at Deichbrand 2023 and I love her sm

[graceful cargo]

i kniw

[mystic vapor]

My sister was very proud bc she's like the biggest Jennifer Rostock Fan EVER

[graceful cargo]

does anyone know madsen

[queen raptor]

so basically EC fans just want more EC

[shrewd robin]

They're not EC

[graceful cargo]

what about spc

sdp

[shrewd robin]

YELLING

[graceful cargo]

or for the nostalgic vibe, lafee

[queen raptor]

it's just funny cause the two bands server wants the most has members working for or who are in EC

[mystic vapor]

They still aren't EC

They are their own Band

[shrewd robin]

And fucking amazing

Doesn't matter who's in it or works for EC in it

[queen raptor]

i know, statefall doesn't sound like EC at all, SPC is similar to EC because, well, it's the same guy writing music for both bands

[shrewd robin]

I want those bands cause they do awesome music

[queen raptor]

everything Danskimo touches is gold

[shrewd robin]

Lets not forget he isn't the only person in that band lol

[mystic vapor]

This exactly

Like it's not Dan alone in both Bands

It's Dan and other people

[shrewd robin]

Anyways moving on

[queen raptor]

but he writes instrumentals like he does for EC, doesn't he?

[mystic vapor]

Heaven Shall Burn is also a possibility

[queen raptor]

EC isn't just Danskimo either but riffs and instrumentals are him, they said it, i imagine it's similar for SPC since it has Danskimo all over it

[shrewd robin]

I nearly said Memphis May Fire but sadly also US based

[mystic vapor]

We can be delulu in peace here

[shrewd robin]

Sabaton then

And we also got a Tank there so

[mystic vapor]

Paramore

So that's my delulu guess of the day

[shrewd robin]

Papa Roach 🤣

[mystic vapor]

Im saying Ikkimel simply for the joke and also bc her new Album is out since 12 mins now

[orchid ridge]

Devo, The Dandy Warhols, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, WBTBWB and Baby Metal

[primal prawn]

Bloodywood (pray)
TBS (missed them in 2023 year, also they have a lot of new music now)
Bilmuri (sure why not)
Bloodhound Gang (comeback concert at EF surely)
Das Lumpenback (could also have been Madsen, Itchy, Montreal or a dozen other german rock bands)

Donots or Broilers would be cool but i already saw them at Rock am Ring this and i think you can't beat that lol

[drowsy fog]

Baby Lasagna and Käärijä among others

[warm wasp]

Foooook I forgot Heavysaurus 😭

[soft berry]

Maybe Hidden Fates and Cyant band 🙂 By the way, someone asked me this exact question on Instagram yesterday 😅

[glass drift]

Based feuerschwanz

[round spruce]

Bloodywood probs. I haven't done the survey yet. Maybe I'll add some random Finns there. (Also bands with ladies or lady artists maybe)

[drowsy fog]

for those interested, carina (the mermaid from EO) shows a few pics from escalation fest and also talks about bad loverz set, the video at the whole is about her experience with the shooting of The Look by Bad Loverz - IN GERMAN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ3c4pDBDb8

[slim sequoia]

Bloodywood
Lake Malice, Annisokay & SPC again (hihi)

@fossil zenith happsy birthday to youuuu! Hope you're having a great day ♡

[wanton grove]

Haven’t submitted mine yet but something from:
locals: Donots, Avralize, Our Promise, Unprocessed
intl: Lake Malice, Wargasm, Solence, House of Protection, Crossfaith, Bloodywood (no way for the non-eu/uk unless they’re touring locally tho)

[ornate mural]

Yay! Solence is on your list too.

[blazing fulcrum]

If we get SPC, Annisokay and EC in one go I will not have a voice afterwards. Also I might need to be carried from the venue.

[midnight wyvern]

I named Self Deception, Babymetal, Donots, Set It Off and As It Is but wished I would have had two more votes for Against The Current and Statefall

[blazing fulcrum]

Oh yes, Statefall.

[ornate mural]

Oooh. Yess. Self deception too! Aah. Would love that.

[wanton grove]

Discovered them thru EC, got obsessed, and saw them at a festival last summer, they are seriously the nicest dudes. They had an early slot so not a big crowd and came down to the rail to chat afterwards, and Dave was like “I saw you knew all the words” and I was like….guilty haha and he gave me a lil hug when I was clearly struggling to be a normal human who talks

[ornate mural]

Nice! For me it was the other way around hehe. But glad you found them. And jealous you have seen them live! 😍 Yeah, they really are the nicest dudes. Been following their journey for a few years now. And they are so sweet and humble. Nice! So you could let loose a little more hehe. Awww. 😭 That’s so sweet! Dave is awesome!! Sounds like you had a great first experience with them. 🥹

[bleak hollow]

Yay, I'm not the only one with Unprocessed. Haven't seen them mentioned yet

[queen raptor]

i wanted to put solence in but ran out of space after filling it with american bands that definitely can't come

[wanton grove]

I spent the train ride to EF listening to their most recent album on repeat; they’re SOOOO good and creative!

[whole willow]

I doubt they can make it but a new US based band is Aurorawave. They mix reggae and metal 🙂 and sound awesome.

[quaint summit]

I don't know anymore what other bands I put in but i do know that i added novelists and prospective

[glass drift]

Nice, pretty sure I put our promise as well, they're amazing live

Bloodywood too

[wanton grove]

Nice!
Seeing Bloodywood end of the month and Our Promise in April - got hooked on them when I saw them open for Future Palace

[sage mesa]

I can't remember who I put but Skindred were definitely one of them.

[fossil zenith]

Going the extra mile! Glitter socks!!

[shrewd robin]

Flint Lockwood mode

[mortal crater]

Let me put it this way, I activated the ticket alarm for Sleep Theory at Eventim.

[clear rose]

They're sooooo good live!

[mortal crater]

I only saw their videos on YT
They just announced their first US headline tour. So I have to wait some (many) time. To me they have the same live energy like EC.🤩

[stiff mist]

To be honest, I would love to see Tokio Hotel, never saw them live, would be fun, but I don’t know how the other EC fans would like that... but anyway, would be awesome

[queen raptor]

they sang tokio hotel the loudest out of the three acoustic covers so that's something

[clear rose]

Yesss, their energy ia amazing! Probably they could come here again as opener like they did with Falling in Reverse last year (the show I saw them)

[stiff mist]

"Durch den Monsun" was so popular at the time, its part of german music culture/history but a whole set would be something else, I guess. As I said I would love to see them live and its great when their is a mixture of genres in the lineup

I threw The Warning into the ring, I know they are from Mexico and therefore probably difficult to bring to Germany for a gig, but this would be awesome, we need more female artists

[wanton grove]

Agree it is unlikely unless they are already in Europe but damn I love the Warning!!! Killer live, too

[distant finch]

I'm still waiting for a Vlog from Escaltion Fest 😁

[warm wasp]

https://tenor.com/view/yoda-patience-you-must-have-patience-gif-15254127

Oh yeah

Gifs don't work in threads

[bleak hollow]

We'll get one, no doubt. Uke running around the venue with the microphone closely followed by Christian and Dajo was a clear indication that we're in for a treat

And Christian on his own of course as well.

[placid oriole]

logically there's no reason why they wouldn't do a vlog

it'd be weird

[bleak hollow]

But it does make sense to stretch out releasing EF/EO content for a bit longer to keep the hype and interest going|| (until it's time to start teasing the next single )||

[placid oriole]

Tekkno tour 24 vlogs be like

[shrewd robin]

They were pretty fast with the EF EO video so I bet the vlog won't take that long

[tacit cape]

Herr Ripkens is on fire

[shrewd robin]

[placid oriole]

@shrewd robin slapped him so hard he works faster

[shrewd robin]

OMFG I FORGOR THAT

[tacit cape]

This is what I had in mind XD

[shrewd robin]

One day I will post it on insta

[placid oriole]

what if I do it first

(with credit of course)

[shrewd robin]

You can but don't tag Christine I want to do that

[placid oriole]

bet

next post will include that

[shrewd robin]

[placid oriole]

btw I showed two of my friends that pic with the story and they said you're amazing

I showed them your insta as well and they loved your style

[shrewd robin]

Naawww that's so cute Tell them thanks from me ☺️

[placid oriole]

WAIT

pvt

[broken oxide]

I‘m a bit late to the party but I said: Our Promise, SPC, Venues, SetYøurSails and of course my boys from Annisokay

[wanton grove]

Setyoursails!!! Great List

[sonic tree]

Hey I think about getting 1 or 2 Tattoos, from the ones, that could ne won and were drewed on EF. Can someone please send pictures. I am not sure which and where they will be.
Thank you so much

[fossil zenith]

Here they are. I've also linked EC's insta post.
https://www.instagram.com/p/DFDTzCzNPcn/?img_index=1&igsh=bDVteTZ2M2RoaGc3

[sonic tree]

Thank you 🙏🏼
I meant real pictures of real tattoos drewed at EF 24

[fossil zenith]

The ones above were the only motives available that day.

[sonic tree]

Yes I know. I would like to see How the Look in real.
I can not decide between Spaceman and Ratatata

[mystic vapor]

Ngl I think getting these designs without permission of the artists is stealing.

You should ask schwarzwerk beforehand if you can get them done

[sonic tree]

I am in contact with schwarzwerk and I will be there in 2 or 3 weeks 😉

[mystic vapor]

Was just making sure 🤷🏼‍♀️

[steep field]

tbh was thinking the same 🙂‍↕️

[queen raptor]

i don't remember seeing pictures of tattoos on people, just the sketches

[shrewd robin]

They've reposted some in their insta stories the days after EF

[queen raptor]

then outside of asking someone to go to their archive, they're gone :(

[sonic tree]

Maybe someone with that tattoos sees this and can Show some pictures.

If not, it is no problem and I will throw a coin 😂

[sonic tree]

You were right with that 👌🏼
Would say the same

[round spruce]

I think i posted some that I saw around. They're probably.buried here somewhere.

[ornate mural]

Almost been 2 months.

[shrewd robin]

[tacit cape]

[warm wasp]

Just gonna have to wait for Alligatoah to announce a concert near me, the day after will be the date of the next Escalation Fest (I'm still salty)

[bleak hollow]

[unique pewter]

[whole willow]

If we dont get an EF vlog before the end of March….we shall protest …
By sending extra applications to be tour photographer 😂 🤣

[ornate mural]

Hehehe. Creating more chaos

[warm wasp]

What are you gonna do.gif

[bleak hollow]

good enough 😄

[warm wasp]

[queen raptor]

which would slow down getting the vlog even more

[bleak hollow]

He apparently ahs time for team shittalk posts, so...

[warm wasp]

They could replace one of the bands with the premier of last EFs Vlog

To save money

[bleak hollow]

Don't give them ideas1

[fossil zenith]

We do have a spy in here!!
This thread has been quiet for weeks, and on the day we plan to riot we get the vlog???
Come on...

[tacit cape]

Let's not complain too much otherwise we could end up trolled next time (I mean, more than usual) XD

[ornate mural]

And I hinted with my slight complaining on Christian’s insta too. Was that the final push. We haven’t asked enough until today?

[fossil zenith]

Yeah, I saw that and loled

[blazing fulcrum]

Should we all go and say thank you to Herr Ripkens?

[unique pewter]

Yeah we should

[shrewd robin]

Yep

[fossil zenith]

Where do we go? We ride at dawn??

[shrewd robin]

Insta comments ?

[blazing fulcrum]

Do we wait until he shares it in his insta stories and send him DMs?

[queen raptor]

he might share the vlog on his account too? sometimes he does that

[shrewd robin]

Lets hope so lets not spam his DMs again

[blazing fulcrum]

We shall be patient...

[tacit cape]

Are we? ^^

Patient I mean^^

[unique pewter]

Since when exactly are we patient?

[shrewd robin]

Ssshhhh we always are

[blazing fulcrum]

I guess we can start now

[shrewd robin]

Huh ?

[blazing fulcrum]

Being patient

[shrewd robin]

Ooohhhh

[unique pewter]

[ornate mural]

Good Hehehe

Oh hehehe. So what are we doing? Commenting under Christian’s latest post. Or DM? I’m up for it!

[tacit cape]

How DM? Teach me technology sempai XD

[ornate mural]

Jessica. XD direct message

[tacit cape]

I know the meaning but not how to do it XD

[queen raptor]

go to the profile and click "message"

[tacit cape]

where the fuck is my phone XD

[ornate mural]

Right in the middle xD

[queen raptor]

just click melding

[unique pewter]

Melding sounds… wrong

[ornate mural]

Its Norwegian ok xD

[tacit cape]

"écrire" in french, ok, noted^^

[queen raptor]

weirdos using apps not in english

[tacit cape]

Why would I? I speak french...

[ornate mural]

Same as Jessica xD I speak Norwegian xD

[queen raptor]

idk, i've always used programs, apps and online in english, it's just weird to see things in different languages

[tacit cape]

I'm not confident enough to use anything with english settings (won't even think about trying in German XD)

[whole willow]

For the last almost 8 weeks we have been patiently waiting for this vlog.
😎

[tacit cape]

"Patiently", yes... XD

[whole willow]

But hey. Magic happened 🤣

[blazing fulcrum]

Well we tried.

[glass drift]

think i spot myself in the Bad Loverz part for the fraction of a second

[tacit cape]

Yup

[queen raptor]

timestamp? i want to see how Kobura looks like

[tacit cape]

A tall guy with a Tekkno cap

And tekkno inverted cross white stage collection t shirt... good luck XD

[queen raptor]

too many people to squint at

[vale ember]

Found you

Also spotted myself for two whole seconds in the vlog

[steep field]

spotted myself aswell

[glass drift]

there's another guy with the same shirt in the Crawling part, sadly i wasn't as close as him

And nah, i wasn't wearing my cap, but my cousin was wearing his

it's also a bird's view shot, so kinda impossible to spot me without knowing what to look for

[queen raptor]

a guy

[glass drift]

but on the movie VLOG i was the one guy answering "Tekkno Train"

the one from Essen last year

pls no dox

also, i'm on the pic Keule posted here

[crimson yacht]

I didn't spot anyone because I am blind i think

[glass drift]

pretty sure i had the tour hoodie on in that pic

wait, it was mo, not Keule

[queen raptor]

don't worry, me neither, i only spot Patricia because she's in the front and has blue hair

[crimson yacht]

Atleast you didn't have someone come upto you and you completely looked past them. Thinking it was a random person

I'll say hi next time i promise!

[glass drift]

i'll take your word for it

[queen raptor]

this 100% would've happened to me if anyone approached me at EF, i have basically no face memory

i know me, you and Brendan walked towards the arena from the mall after the meeting but i have no clue now who it was or how they looked like

[mystic vapor]

Hi

[somber seal]

I’ve not had time to check the vlog yet but I need to, dad’s quite easy to spot because he’s so tall and in costume

[quaint summit]

I didn't watch it yet bc i think PCD gets worse

[tacit cape]

I have to admit it hit hard... I cried while watching it... my only regret is that I couldn't meet everyone and wish we could have more time (even if the time I've "lost" on friday was beyond worth it)

[whole willow]

I wasn’t even there and I got tears.

[wanton grove]

Was nice to see myself and MCT2 again

[agile rover]

you two and the sharks were my favourites

[lofty yoke]

Memories…

Honestly I didn’t knew if it would go out well for me to kinda force myself to big events like this but as I mentioned EC and its music saved my life and it also was a veeeeery good decision to join at EF because I met all of you guys there ❤️

Pardon me for this emotional stuff

Honestly the acoustic part is one of the moments where sally could truly be sally. Emotional, not the cold human she sometimes was. ^_^

[bleak hollow]

I think EF was a very emotional experience for a lot of people here. Memories were made, new friends found

[mystic vapor]

EF is always even more special than a normal EC show to me

[orchid ridge]

Looking forward to the next

[warm wasp]

i'm so glad i found EC, not only because of their music, but also because of their awesome community. i've been to so many Die Ärzte concerts in the last 15+ years, but i never really actually talked to anyone at the concerts because i was too scared. you guys even got me to speak english

[mystic vapor]

I threw some glitter at you and decided we are friends you didn't had a choice

[quaint summit]

Still haven't watched the Vlog. I don't wanna be sad

EF was just so frigging special

[whole willow]

I hope to meet you in person one day
And say thank you for all the awesome recordings you bring to us

[orchid ridge]

I am savoring it too. Only watched 1/2 so far

[soft berry]

I'll be there next year too 🥹 My heart still hurts that I couldn't go

[warm wasp]

bring double the cookies

Can't wait to meet even more new folks

[ornate mural]

Next year! Got to meet you

[soft berry]

I can't wait 🥹🫶🏻

[ornate mural]

Me neither 🥹🫶🏻

[bleak hollow]

lol, I found myself in the vlog.

[tacit cape]

Your fame has began! XD

[bleak hollow]

I had to squint reeeeaaly hard 😂

[fossil zenith]

The amount of times I paused the EF-vlog to maybeeee spot myself and @small sentinel ...

No success so far...

[bleak hollow]

don't give up 😄

[small sentinel]

Don't worry, I know you were there...

[fossil zenith]

Physically at least, although my party soul might have left my body through parts of EC's set...

[shrewd robin]

I saw my hands does that count ? 😭🤣

[mystic vapor]

I saw my blue hair flying multiple times so

[shrewd robin]

The ones with all the bracelets and dark sleeves 🤣

[bleak hollow]

🤣

[shrewd robin]

AM gettin that BTS footage

[bleak hollow]

Yup: D want to make an edit of this moment form the vlog and what I filmed, but no time or skills 😄

[ancient thunder]

Thats me holy cow

[drowsy fog]

saltatio mortis ah I meant to say bad loverz filmed their new video hangover at escalation, you can see a few audience shots in it

[shrewd robin]

Yeah a friend and I saw the pink stretch Limo drive into...onto...whatever the backstage area...we were a bit confused but now we know

[fossil zenith]

Soooo, some good music on the weekend inbetween those two events???
September 26th???

[tacit cape]

Yes please, thank you

[warm wasp]

ANOTHER ONE?

What in the fuck

They just gonna ignore the fact that Michael Wendler is a Nazi?

Fucking hell

Sorry

[fossil zenith]

??
Did he perform there before (after he showed his true self)?

[warm wasp]

Yeah he was there like last week I think

Even greeted an AfD politician from Duisburg

Then announced next year's show

[fossil zenith]

[fossil zenith]

[fossil zenith]

[fossil zenith]

At least tell me it was far from selling out?!?

[warm wasp]

7k apparently

[fossil zenith]

7k too many

[orchid ridge]

Yes please

[crimson yacht]

You got me all excited

[warm wasp]

They did that before for the second one so I missed 2 out of the 6 wrestling shows happening in Oberhausen on that weekend

[fossil zenith]

Damn - with RaR.and RiP claiming exclusivity it might not look too good for EF 2026

[tacit cape]

Shhhhht. They gonna make an exception for EF this time...

[fossil zenith]

Can't see it but 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

[tacit cape]

Shhhht I said XD

[warm wasp]

Just play one song at 3 then have 5 special guests

And come back at 9

[midnight wyvern]

where do you have the information from that they gonna be there exclusively?

[placid oriole]

RaR website

[midnight wyvern]

och come on... in their posting they only talk about Iron Maiden and Volbeat being exclusive... I hate those exclusivity contracts

[warm wasp]

Istg if Kevin says there will be another one next year in 2027 I'm gonna lose it

[placid oriole]

I just hope it won't be in February again

I'd like to not shiver/stand in a queue for my jacket for 1,5 hours

[olive forge]

They are talking about "festival Shows"... Buuuut maybe EF is considered an Arena Show with many Supports? 👉👈

[fossil zenith]

It somehow sounds as in 2024, but it somehow doesn't - I guess we'll just have to wait. Orrrr they could re-name the Escalation Fest to Escalation Concert (with 5-6 supports)

[olive forge]

Escalation Family gathering

[tacit cape]

Let's hope we won't have the same kind of announcement as in 2024... like on friday 5th of june

[warm wasp]

Food Court Escalation

[mystic vapor]

I SWEAR TO GOD

it would be 2024 all over again

NO

DONT JINX IT

[tacit cape]

I said nothing... it wasn't me...

[mystic vapor]

if that shit happens again someone will have a probelm which is me climbing the stage and slapping someone

[tacit cape]

I was about to say: I would join you to shit in their bunk

[mystic vapor]

oh thats also happening

but the rar people wont be at front row waiting for EC if it gets announced on friday!

[tacit cape]

No, we will wait for Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park and Papa Roach after 2 days of camping already XD I'm too old for this kind of not even confirm announcement XD

[obtuse wyvern]

Sorry I'm a little bit lost here 🙃 but does it mean EC wouldn't be playing in any other festival in Europe in 26?

I don't understand 😂

[tacit cape]

Only in Germany Exclusive so only RaR and RiP in Germany but ok to other countries

[obtuse wyvern]

Thank you! I was so confused, because I have seen they will be playing on other festivals 😅

[orchid ridge]

If they did it in September after “festival season” is over, I can’t see EF being a problem

[dire oriole]

If they signed an exclusive contract with rar and rip that usually means they are not allowed to play any more festivals in germany in that year

[round spruce]

It was on that one year a problem as they were not able to do ef because of that clause on the rar&rip contract as ef is Festival in Germany. (Confirmed by the ec themselves multiple occasions) Hopefully they were able to renegotiate it or they have some other plans for ef.

[tacit cape]

That's what I was explaining XD

[warm wasp]

Next one will be in elens backyard

[round spruce]

They could possibly be able to go around with the festival exclusivity now just organising EF as Electric Bassboy feat. Bass and Drums tbh.…
