20 Years Anniversary Shows!

To celebrate our 20 years anniversary as a band we are going to arrange 5 special shows which will take place this August in Germany, Poland and Holland.

We will perform 2 full sets with songs from our entire career and there will also be a meet and greet. More details to be announced later.

“An evening with…. – the 20th Anniversary Shows”
05.08 CHEMNITZ (DE) / Südbahnhof
07.08 WARSAW (PL) / Progresja Club
14.08 SAARBRÜCKEN (DE) / Garage
16.08 UTRECHT (NL) / Tivoli
17.08 HAMBURG (DE) / Markthalle


Sounds fucking nice...but terrible timing guys...
Maybe I can make it to Saarbrücken on the 14th, I will try to arrange that at least ^^
Will be quite exhausting as I will drive to Summer Breeze on the next day, so I practically will have to get back to Bavaria on the same evening/night

But I don't think I can miss out on this one...

Although, IF I won't visit Metalcamp next year like I planned to do, I would go for the fifth in Chemnitz...
Hmm....Well I have to think about that for a little while I guess.

ok, i think i may have figured this out. i have a mate who lives in Rotterdam. i can stay with him and his gf then make my way to Utrecht then get an early flight the next morning to also go to the Hamburg show then come back home.

nothing is set in stone yet though. arghhhhhhhhh, i have to go to at least one of these shows!

i wish i didn't live in Australia! lol! it's very expensive going to see AA play overseas but it's so worth it. gotta support the bands that you love!

I really also would include Warsaw in my considerations!!! Guess you need 2 weeks holidays. But it's so worth it.

that's also a possibility as i've never been to Poland. it all comes down to whether i can get the time off seeing as i've just had 8 months off (albeit for medical reasons)

7th is a no go since it is mid week and I will take so much time off for various shows and festivals this year that my vacation days will be all booked by then, but the 5th is at least possible, if I can get an early enough flight back home Monday morning and head straight to work.

I think the easiest way would be flying to Leipzig and from then maybe rent a car or something. Shortest Route is about 90 km.

If I somehow manage to get off work it could be possible to fly into Warszawa on 7 august, home day after

Not sure landing at 16:55 gives me enough time to get to a hotel/hostel and then the venue though, will check with a mate of mine who's used to visiting the city

Flights to Leipzig and back was not cheap at all, then I guess comes cost for either train or renting a car as well.

Good thing would be to only miss one day of work.

Ah the hard descisions of life!
