5 YEARS OF GRAVE DIGGER

Four and a half decades of Teutonic metal – a cause for celebration. As part of the "45th Anniversary Tour '25," Chris Boltendahl and his tireless Ruhrpott legend Grave Digger will make a stop in Pratteln on January 26. The colleagues from Victory will be joining as special guests, performing old and new hits from their 41 years of band history. Opening the show will be the newcomers Rigorious.

With groundbreaking albums and unique anthems, Grave Digger has been one of the most influential and impactful bands in the German metal scene since the early 80s. Even after 45 years in the relentless business, there are no signs of fatigue. Chris Boltendahl, Jens Becker, Marcus Kniep, and newcomer Tobias Kersting remain a force to be reckoned with not only in the live sector but also consistently release high-quality albums at regular intervals. On their latest album "Symbol of Eternity," Grave Digger once again delivered all the trademarks that have defined the band for four and a half decades. Heavy headbangers with lightning-fast double bass attacks alternate with mid-tempo songs. There are relentless riffs, melodic refrains, opulent choir arrangements, and, of course, the distinctive voice of Chris Boltendahl. Everything a fan could desire, and more. Grave Digger has never been as diverse as on their latest album. Now, the legendary Teutonic metal pioneers are ready to write the next chapter of their band history. With their new guitar wizard Tobias Kersting (Steelhammer, Ex-Orden Ogan), Grave Digger made a strong statement in January 2024 with the single "The Grave Is Yours," proving that 80s-inspired, traditional heavy metal in its purest form is more alive than ever. Returning to Pratteln in January 2025 for their 45th-anniversary tour, Grave Digger will rock the stage of Z7 with a mix of new and old hits.

Doors open at 6:00 pm.
