After Pratteln, we travelled in our van that night to yet another Etap hotel, somewhere in France (for those who don’t know Etap hotels have somewhat of a plastic cupboard in the corner which contains the toilet and shower). With all the driving it is sometimes hard to know what country you are in, let alone which town. From our hotel, we crossed France and Luxemburg, driving all day, to arrive in Belgium and straight to the venue, Kompas, for soundcheck feeling quite exhausted.The venue for the show was, of course, a lot smaller than Z7, but we were treated like kings by our hosts (in the photo above with IKON) from the moment we arrived and were glad to be back playing to an audience of our fans.
Support band This Vale of Tears warmed the crowd up while we took a moment to rest. They did a very good job of this as the room was really hot by the time we took to the stage! In the heat, we played a long set, returning for three encores and playing so me unplanned songs like ‘Psychic Vampire’ and our tour medley of ‘’ and ‘A Forest’.
A well-needed sleep in Belgium saw us head back to Germany this morning, where we are now about to soundcheck for our show in Aachen.
