Photo Gallery: Hardcore Superstar, Wednesday 13 and South Of Salem live in Munich

November 21, 2024

Last week Hardcore Superstar made a stop in Munich during their EU/UK tour. Special guests on this tour were South Of Salem and Wednesday 13. South Of Salem started the show at 7 pm sharp. The venue was still filling up at that time, probably due to the fact that the show was supposed to start at 7.30 pm. Nevertheless, the people that already have been there obviously enjoyed the performance. When Wednesday 13 entered the stage a while later, the room was pretty packed. For me, they were the highlight of this evening. Since it was announced as “Wednesday 13 performing Murderdolls”, naturally most songs that night have been Murderdoll songs. People went wild, old and new ones alike. Hardcore Superstar, as final band of the night, took the stage and made it their own. They definitely rocked the place. Here are some shots from the show. Enjoy!
