Our friends of the DONG Open Air have news:
Dear friends of thinking outside the box, listen up!
You may already have come across this phenomenon: Last year Heino released his album „Mit freundlichen Grüßen“ and sang side by side with Rammstein at the Wacken Open Air, earning his first stripes on metal terms. When the news reached us last week, we were very pleased to hear that the schlager music icon would yet again raise the horns in 2014.
We were even happier when we found out the Dong Open Air would be his first stop for the live tour. Find out more details in the official memo of his management:
“We have a number of gigs lined up with the German power metal icons of Grave Digger. Their singer, Chris Boltendahl, met Heino at the beginning of his Grave Digger career. ‘Despite the great musical differences we had, we also never ceased to foster a strong mutual respect,’ Boltendahl reports. ‘After Heino’s first excursions into heavier music, we would like to nurish this exceptional cooperation to create something entirely new!’
The odd couple is already planning a number of festival shows for this coming season, and so far the year’s premiere has been comfirmed: a show at the Dong Open Air, in the beautiful scenery, 100m above the ground on an artificial hill at the lower Rhine. Grave Digger are booked as headliners.”
We are excited as can be about this new addition to the lineup and cannot wait to see if the Dong mob is going to break party records when we get to “Metal Icon meet Schlager Legend.”
Stoked and happy,
Your Dong Team
