EDGUY
PPM FEST - PROG POWER AND METAL FESTIVAL
Lotto Mons Expo - Mons, Belgium
April 30 2011

After Gamma Ray, the last German band of the evening was about to hit the stage.

If you have seen Edguy in concert, you’ll know that a big party was coming.

As the lights were shut down, we hard a voice saying “Welcome… to the Freakshow”.

The boys came on stage with the already famous duet Dead Or Rock and Speedhoven.
Their joyful tunes were backed by a great sound, and the well known positive energy characteristic on Edguy.

Tobias Sammet walked the stage from side to side, with his rockstar sunglasses, while bass player Tobias Exxel headbanged during the whole gig.

Jens Ludwig and Dirk Sauer player with a big smile on their faces, and Felix Bohnke hitted his drums with style.

They managed to fit 9 songs into the setlist, plus a drum solo that they should have skipped.

Drum solos are cool, but time is short on festival gigs, I would certainly have preferred to hear another song.

Before playing Superheroes, Tobias asked us to show our mobile phones. I don’t know why, it’s not a ballad… Well, just another Sammet-style joke!

Later in the show, Tobias confessed that the song Vain Glory Opera was inspired by the headliners of the PPM Fest: Europe!

He said, as a humoristic note, that they wrote this song when they were kids wanting to become famous.

After this tune, Tobi stated that this was the part of the show when they normally go backstage before returning for the encores. But this time, they were not leaving the stage, and he announced the last song: King Of Fools.

Edguy made a very enjoyable show. It was probably the best concert of the whole festival.

The festival went on with two Swedish bands: Hammerfall, and then Europe!
