Munich, October 17^th, 2015

Last weekend Northlane made a stop in Munich during their European Tour with Volumes, The Acacia Strain and Hellions. Volumes had to cancel their set that night due to medical issues.

The night started off with the Sydney based band Hellions, followed by The Acacia Strain, a band from Boston, MA. When the headliner Northlane entered the stage, the room was already heated like a sauna. Throughout all three sets there was a constant coming and going on stage. Almost permanently fans were trying to enter the stage, dancing and rocking along with the band, some even taking selfies on stage, just to jump back into the crowd. The audience was really rocking hard to the heavy sound of all three bands, simply enjoying life.

From a photographers point of view catastrophic, with so many people kicking around while struggling to get on stage, just to jump down a few moments later. The humidity in the room was so high, that I had to clean the fog from my lense to get clear shots from behind. The lighting was dark with bright vertical strip lights inbetween and every other song some heavy smoke to the left and right front side of the stage. From a spectators point of view it was awesome to look at. There was so much dynamic in that show, people were obviously enjoying themselves, being able to be a part of it.

Here’s some pictures from that night:
