This gallery contains 66 photos.

At the risk of sounding cocky, I’ll say that INFRAKTOR was the most awaited band of this year’s edition of Tondela Rocks: the other acts experienced a great void in front of the stage while that space filled up quickly … Continue reading

INSOMNIUM @ Hard Club, 2018/04/09
