As already told before i went to a concert yesterday. It was the reconstruction tour (https://www.destiny-tourbooking.com/news/reconstruction-tour-2025/) featuring Propagandhi, Pennywise, WIZO, Comeback Kid, The Iron Roses and Dead Pioneers. The event was held in the old gasworks in Augsburg, which is not active anymore and used for public events.

It is a really cool location and a shame that there are only a few events during the year. We arrived at ~5pm at the gasworks and there was already a very long line. Safety requirements are being tightened and this leads to a needle eye at the entrance. Luckily a friend was already in the line so could skip our position forward. Still it was a long wait and most people in the line passed time while drinking beer:
This is just one of many bottle places (cans and plastic bottles were collected first because of the higher deposit)
Actually we got thirsty too, but there was only a beer vending machine, that required age verification for every single bottle and guess what there was also a long line, well so we skipped this.
Finally we arrived at the entrance and nobody really checked for the tickets because the security was in hurry the concert already started and hundreds of people were still in the line.

Now we finally got our drinks and listened to the second band (first was already over while we were still waiting to enter the area). It was "The iron roses" (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Gray) and not really our kind of taste - Too pop-oriented.
So we spend most of the time looking for people we know and our group grew to > 10 people. All in their middle age. There were only a few young people. Well if you have a look at the age of the musicians you can imagine.
Then "Comback Kid" took over and it was in the face punk rock. Not special but solid and funny to watch and hear. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comeback_Kid_(band)
While the stagehand moved instruments we went forward because "Propaghandi" was next (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagandhi). Propaghandi was the band we wanted to see most, so we tried to get a good spot.
Excuse my bad photos i do not really like to film or take lots of photos during a concert. i prefer watching and listening
They played really good and they still have a lot of energy. Due the short time they had, they could only play a few old songs and of course some of their new songs. Behind as a moshpit formed up and it took not long until a guy with two beers in the hand stumbled in my back and gave me a stinky shower.
Too bad that they only played between 30min and 1h. They had not even a chance for an addition, cause the stagehand directly removed the microphones.
After this there was "Pennywise" (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennywise) and WIZO (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIZO_(Band)). But we did not really care - too generic.

All in all it was a nice evening with good weather - sunny but not hot

Finally enjoy some Propaghandi
