VADER have issued the following update:

With two shows in Holland (May 5th - Wageningen, May 6th - Dordrecht) Vader kicked off their summer touring season. The band is going to play 30 gigs, appearing on some prestigious festivals like Rock Hard Festival, Hellraiser Festival, Graspop MM Festival, Hellfest, Tuska Open Air Festival, Waldrock Festival, Kaltenbach Open Air, Wacken Open Air, Party San and Brutal Assault. The tour schedule can be find here.

Guitarist/vocalist Peter states, "We spent last weekend in Holland, playing two rather atypical shows there. The first one in Wageningen during Holland's celebrations of sovereignty (in May 1945). Great parade of the allied forces, among them a few veterans of the 1st Polish Panzer Division fighting in Belenux, about 100,000 people, 18 stages, one great party and ... Vader- the only extreme metal band in the town! We kicked off our show just before midnight, in front of thousands of metalheads hungry for carnage. What a great experience!

The second gig took place in Dordrecht- about 60 km off Wageningen. After the arrival we realized that Bibelot Club is an old church converted into a club!!! Vader in the church?! On Sunday?! OK!!! And so perfect!!! The show gathered about 300 maniacs, their feedback was nothing but just overwhelming! This night we played a great show too! Since this day I might play gigs only in churches!"

The upcoming Vader shows: Sundown Festival (May 25th), Rock Hard Festival (May 26th) and Hellraiser Festival (May 27th), all in Germany.
