Gigant and Stichting Brainstorm Festival intensify their collaboration. In addition to the annual Brainstorm Festival in November, from now on concerts will be held under the name ‘Brainstorm Festival presents’. The joining of forces makes Gigant in Apeldoorn even more the place to be for the better metal concerts.
The first result of the deepening of the collaboration can be seen on Saturday 9 May. That evening, Ball Noir (medieval folk metal, NL), Scarlet Stories (dark prog rock, NL) and Askara (gothic prog metal, CH) play in Gigant. Three bands that are firmly committed to the road and that fit well into the concept of the annual Brainstorm Festival.
The lineup for the Brainstorm Festival 2019 is complete. The last band to be added is the Italian band Nightland. The band plays symphonic death-metal and have already previously played in Apeldoorn. That show made a deep impression, so we are very happy that Nightland will present their new album with us!
The Brainstorm Festival has two nice additions. Both the Italian power-metal band Kalidia and the Polish gothic-wave band Metus can be seen in the Netherlands for the first time. Kalidia at the mainstage, Metus in the theatre.
With the Swedish progressive metal band Darkwater, the Brainstorm Festival has brought in a great co-headliner for Saturday night. The band presents their new album 
The theatre programme of the Brainstorm Festival 2019 is increasingly taking shape. On Friday evening November 8th you can expect a special show of the Dutch gothic-rock band Blackbriar. A day later, the new Norwegian post-rock band Monograf will give their showpiece.
