Cologne Palladium 21/12/2014

So because the band hasn't done a proper club gig for years in Belgium, we are going to go to Germany this time. My wife is considering joining us. Does anyone know if the concert is in the main hall, or the small side hall? And is there seating in that hall?

Main hall and have never seen any seats.
A link to some shots from last year so you can see the size.

Thanks for the info! I was hoping for some Ancienne Belgique style seating so she could enjoy the show without having to worry about any mosh or other action. And I wouldn't have to worry about her She doesn't do concerts very often, but is joining my brother and I to Cologne as we are making a city trip weekend from it.

Really looking forward to the concert, and especially to the second set. I'm hoping for some electric violin action I don't think I've seen it used live since my first NMA gig back in 1993.

BETWEEN WINE AND BLOOD - CHRISTMAS 2014

Our Christmas concerts are always special but this year we're planning on a new creative challenge. New Model Army albums have always featured instrumentation beyond the simple rock band formula. This year, in London, Nottingham, Paris, Amsterdam and Koln, we plan to play two full sets for an evening entitled “Between Wine and Blood,” adding a few extra musicians to enable us to revisit some of our more complex layered material and also to experiment with new versions of old songs. We are already excited by the possibilities. This will be a one-off special NMA event and we're hoping to create a very special musical experience.


We are also pleased to announce that for Koln Palladium the inimitable Hugh Cornwell, former lead singer and founder member of The Stranglers, will be playing a separate set as special guest.

That's great news!
Hugh is always good live

It's plenty big enough so that you can stand somewhere without getting jostled. 

Looking forward to seeing Hugh Cornwell too.
