And they certainly got a response. As the set went on, the crowd became more and more enthusiastic, feeding the band so much energy that the show started to feel like a shared experience between the stage and the audience. At the end of the set, the crowd even started chanting “Zugabe!”, German for “encore”.
There was a little unexpected drama along the way when one of Gijs' guitar strings broke. David rushed the guitar backstage to get it fixed, and when it returned a song later, the crowd went wild. From there, the show really picked up.
Afterwards, the band spent the night hanging out with people they'd met at the show and other artists. They were struck by how welcoming the festival was and how different the audience interaction felt compared to shows at home. They left Bremen with a great experience behind them and a good reason to come back.
