After a long time, The Devil Wears Prada are finally back in Europe as headliners – a moment many fans have been waiting for. On their second tour day, the band, accompanied by a strong support lineup: Senna, Ocean Grove, and Kingdom of Giants, made a stop in Germany, at Hamburg’s Gruenspan.

An Evening Full of Energy and Variety

German post-hardcore newcomers Senna kicked off the evening, taking the stage punctually at 7:30 PM. The club was already well-filled, and although there were minor sound issues at the start, the band delivered a strong set overall. For those interested in hearing more: their debut album “Stranger to Love” will be released in May.

Ocean Grove, who traveled all the way from Australia, were up next. In just 30 minutes, they delivered an energy-packed show and proved why their 2024 album “Oddworld” is gaining attention. The Gruenspan audience was quickly swept along – mission accomplished.

Kingdom of Giants from the USA then took the stage as the final support act of the evening. The band used their time to further energize the crowd, providing more than solid preparation for the main act.

The Devil Wears Prada: A Triumph Through Band History

Finally, it was time for The Devil Wears Prada. After several years of only touring Europe as a support act, they celebrated their long-awaited headliner comeback with this tour – and both the band and fans left no doubt about how much they enjoyed this moment.

From the first second, they maintained a consistently high energy level and delivered a thoroughly strong set. The setlist journeyed through the band’s entire history: 15 songs, from the early days to the current single “Ritual,” with a clear focus on their newer releases.

A performance that definitely lived up to the long wait – and leaves you wanting more. Hopefully, the Americans won’t take too long before paying Germany another visit.
