DEEP PURPLE
"SPLAT TOUR 2026"

This lineup, I grew up with as a teenager, skipped out of school to go home with friends to listen to them. Now I get to see them all for the first time as a live performance versus the cassettes with my friends at home, haha!  

The Headliner tonight, the main event, time for DEEP PURPLE to finally come on stage and begin their set. An extremely loud one, even the intro music from the pre-recording, was a little loud (ear plugs went in much faster than expected). This year Ian Gillan turned 80, and the first song it showed, sorry, but I actually thought he looked exhausted and out of breath by the end of song 1, but he managed to get a boost and continued on to do an excellent job. The rest of the band too, they performed well and they cranked out those tunes to everyone's enjoyment. The evening consisted of their classics, like "Highway Star", "Hush" "Perfect Strangers", and some newer music like "Arrogant Boy".

KARMOYGEDDON FESTIVAL
2026

HThese days, when it comes to festivals, everyone is competing with one another—booking bigger artists, putting on bigger productions, offering a wider variety of entertainment on site, and so on. And yet bigger doesn't always mean better. Many fans have lately come to the same disheartening conclusion  - it seems the scene lost it's charm. But not all hope is lost - many smaller size festivals still offer a great atmosphere and a great lineup of bands. Karmøygeddon in the Norwegian town Kopervik is a great example of that.

After attending Inferno and Tons of Rock - the most well known Norwegian festivals - for a few years in a row, I thought it's time for something new. I've been eyeing the Karmøygeddon lineup for a while, and it has consistently been strong and versatile. Some bands seem to be particularly frequent guests there, but that's not really unusual. It's a healthy variety of genres too - from black metal to power, glam, folk, death metal - you name it.
