News from our Wacken friends:
New band announcements!
We had a lot of band announcements within the last days. With bands like Slayer, Death Angel, Hell, Van Canto or Hämatom (amongst many others) we have enlarge this years Anniversay billing once more. A complete overview of new bands can be found on our homepage.

Hamburg Metal Dayz – Dark Tranquillity will take part and the running order is online!
The last band for this year’s Hamburg Metal Dayz is no other than the Swedish melodic death metal band Dark Tranquillity! The Band was found as Septic Broiler in the late 80s and changed its name to Dark Tranquillity in 1990. Coming from thrash metal, the band developed the famous Gothenburg metal sound together with In Flames and At The Gates, which means they kick-started the melodic death metal itself. In 2013, the band released its 10th studio album, called Construct, which confirmed the status of the band once more. We’re looking forward to welcome the band at Hamburg’s Markthalle this year! The list of bands for 2014 is complete by now! You want to know the playtimes of the bands? Check out the running order, which is now online too!
Tickets for both days and day tickets for Friday and Saturday are available at Metaltix.com!

Heino Show at Dong? April Fools!

Our friends of the DONG Open Air have news:
We got a multivocal feedback for our announcement that schlager singer Heino and Grave Digger are going to perform together at the Dong Hill. A few of you accused us of telling another April Fools story. We will have to stick to the truth and admit that we find this musical combination highly appealing!
But just to avoid hurt feelings and disappointment, we shall stick to the truth even further: Yes, this was our April Fools prank! This seems to be the appropriate point to give a big shout out to Chris Boltendahl and Grave Digger who supported us in this! 🙂 We hope you spent a little while wondering what this was all about!
But you can relax now, no more pranks coming up. Instead – here’s the link to our brandnew updated playlists for the DOA 2014 line up – including Grave Digger!
Have a great day! Your Dong Team

Heino at Dong 2014

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

The Scalding new at Dong lineup, Arch enemy update

Our friends of the DONG Open Air have news:
It’s spring time. Everything is renewing and growing. This also applies to the Dong Open Air line-up. Together with Aardschock, the Dutch No.1 heavy music magazine, the Dong Open Air selected The Scalding as the winner of the battle of the bands from the Netherlands. The death metal band from Heerlen in the beautiful province of Limburg are going to rock the hill. We already have a connection: Limburg is known for their spoil tips! What is that? The same type of hill as the Dong hill! Made of waste rock removed during coal mining.
Unexpected news reached us from Arch Enemy. After thirteen years with the enemies, Angela Gossow decided to step off the stage and to devote herself to managing the band instead. Her successor will already be the on the new album “War Eternal” which is going to be released in July. It’s Alissa White-Gluz from the Canadian kick ass professionals of The Agonist. We are convinced that Alissa is a worthy new candidate and is going to deliver not only at the show on our hill, but also on the new album! More info and the brand new video with Alissa, “War Eternal”, in our updated Arch Enemy band profile!
All hail Dong!
Your Dong Team!
