Tours and festivals. Ten years at a press agency before he let himself write only about metal.

Tours Festivals Live

Lars spent a decade on the culture desk of a press agency before admitting that the only stories he cared about had double kick drums in them. He covers tours and festivals: who plays where, when, for how much, and what got cancelled.

He grew up in the country that gave the world Dynamo Open Air and can quote the capacity of most venues between Rotterdam and Hamburg from memory. Agency habits die hard: the who, what, where and when are always in the first sentence.
