the GreenLightDistrict festival

The 13th to 15th has just been an amazing weekend!!

I've had pretty much going on but now I'm ready to go blogging again :O)

The 13th to 15th of April, Denmark received a great debut: Now this little country in Scandiavia has joined the world-map of Christian Metal Festivals!! And a truely blessed festival it was!!!


With 9 bands and more than 200 attending the festival we had a great weekend!

The sun was shining and the mood was way high! This weekend I really found out about the hunger for these festivals to happen in Denmark. One Danish guy had waited for 25 years for something like this to happen in Denmark! He even wrote a snail-mail to Pastor Bob 20 years ago to find out about the posibilities to import Christian Heavy music to Denmark :) YEAH

Everyone was just so positive and wanted to make this festival a great event, which literally raised the enthusiasm to the skies. I've been to a A LOT of festivals and metal koncerts and I've never seen an audiens with SO much energy!

Bands playing at GreenLightDistrict festival 2007:

Crimson Moonlight (sweden)
Frosthardr (norway)
Intohimo (sweden)
Barricades (denmark)
Magtesløs (denmark)
Amplified (denmark)
Threat Chest (denmark)
Servants Of The Immortal (denmark)
Silent Highway (denmark)


Actually we had a metal concert at 10 in the morning, and the crowd was awesome man! A constantly crazy moshpit with cirkelpits and a lot of stagedivings and crowdsurfings => at 10 in the morning!! People were monster positive all weekend and had an energic brutality :0) ; all bands were great and Pastor Bobs seminars were right in the bulls eye! So many people have told me that Pastor Bobs teaching spoke right into their lives and that it really meant a big difference to them. For some of the teenagers, this was the very first time they met a pastor who they really liked.

At the end of the festival I got so many comments from thankfull teenagers who said that they just couldn't wait a whole year for the next Green Light District festival to happen. ...And I DID NOT mentioned anything about doing this next year LOL :0) ...But this festival is needed and therefore it will rise again next year..!

GLORY TO GOD!!!
