The Dresden City Festival is a famous event that draws people not only from all over Germany, but from Poland and other surrounding countries as well. The average attendance for the weekend has been around 500,000 in recent years.
Yesterday we played in front of the town hall in Przemysl, where the cobblestone street sloped upward from our stage, creating an amphitheater feel for the location.
After the final show in Ukraine we drove to our hostel and slept 3-4 hrs before hitting the road to the Slovakian border, while the truck drivers left immediately for it after the show driving all night.
After our concert in Uzhgorod we drove 60 kilometers into the city of Mukachevo that same night.
It was important that we had a Ukrainian and not a Russian translator as this part of Ukraine is especially anti-Russian.
After Khmelnitskiy we returned to Lutsk for the first time in 4 years, the first time being NLM’s initial tour in Ukraine.
On Tuesday afternoon we rolled into the city of Khmelnitsky, about 4 hrs southwest of Kiev. It was a smaller city, which was the place of our final concert in 2015.
We came to Kiev and met back up with our stage trailer, which was great after having to do two shows with a rented one.
We started the day with bad news; Ge Vang was in the hospital again with cellulitis symptoms, and our trailer was badly broken and needed to be hauled to Kiev for repair. So after a quick meeting the truck crew departed for the capital, while we headed east to the next city.
The last 24 hours have been intense, to say the least! Yesterday as we were driving to Dnepropetrovsk (the location of our next show) I received a message from our sound guy that the axle of stage trailer had snapped in half!
