Robert Westerholt and Sharon Janny the Nobility founded the Symphonic Metal band. Privately, the Dutch are a couple and have two children. The single Ice Queen brought them platinum and gold and helped in 2002 to international breakthrough. Characteristic of the band was initially the high vocals of frontwoman Sharon. Stylistically, the band started in Gothic Metal. With new sound, fast guitar riffs and guitar solos, Within Temptation has become a successful rock band. Also this year the band will carry their fans along again.

In sleepy Edmonton, music for high school friends Chris Robertson and Jon Lawhon was their one and only. Both come from very musical families, so it was close to the fact that the two only 16-year-old founded a band in 2001. Black Stone Cherry make traditional Southern Rock with modern elements, a sound that they master in perfection. Their current Album Family Tree is considered the best Southern Rock album of recent years. The four successful musicians from Kentucky have their Wacken premiere this year.
