Cold Hearted Festival - 12.11.2022 Dresden
Cold Hearted Festival took place for the very first time and I must say one could not think of a better kick-off than what the organizers did in 2022 in Dresden. Great line-up, fantastic venue, friendly, helpful staff, and great food and drink offer - what could one want more? I was definitely very satisfied, and I believe so were the other visitors from many countries who decided to travel to the event organized in the most enchanting capital of Saxony.
The only drawback that I need to state is the timing of subsequent concerts. Some bands played simultaneously at two stages, some with a 5-10 minute difference, so it was practically impossible to see all the bands from the line-up or to see just parts of particular concerts. Other than that - the variety and quality of the bands selected for the very first line-up of the festival were impressive! The night was opened by two acts - BEDLESS BONES playing in a big hall and BRAGOLIN (a Dutch Post-Punk / Dark Wave project by Edwin van der Velde) in the smaller one. The fact that the bands played at the same time made it impossible to see both acts, especially since the small hall was packed to its capacity, so it was practically impossible to enter at some point.
