Me too. If you're from the UK, maybe I'll see you in Camden in December. Takes me right back to 1991! I'll be the middle aged bloke ignoring his bad back and going for it, but not regretting a second of it when he's can barely move the next day.
Man, this band is amazing. I love how they don't just simply regugitate the tracks as in the LPs but they make a unique experience for every song in their concerts. They have the same energy as 30+ years ago, when I discovered them.
Front 242 sind eine tolle Band. Ich habe sie mehrmals live erlebt und wurde nie enttäuscht. Sie sind eine der besten Musiker in der EBM Szene. Habe sie im Januar in Berlin gesehen, zusammen mit Nitzer Ebb.😎😎👍👍
Ah yes, the grandfathers of EBM. I still remember a high school friend giving me Front By Front (and Belief by Nitzer Ebb) in 1988, and it literally changed the music I listen to. So glad to see these guys still going strong and kicking ass. And I love Patrick's(?) line at the end, "You don't have to be Jesus. Just be your fucking self." Hopefully Chicago isn't out of their sites...
I saw them live at the Warfield in San Franciso in '91. A friend took me. Loved these guys every since. I'm turning 60 in October, I was 26 then. So many great Goth parties at Bondage a Go Go in the '90's. South of Market was wild in SF in the 90's. Memory lane, good music. If I partied like that now I'd be dead, lol, in like an hour, lol.
It makes me so profoundly happy to watch Front 242 playing live with as much presence and energy at 60 years old as they did when they were in their 30’s. I love that the concept of Front 242 doesn’t age even thought the members do. And the overarching brand is so strong that the members can age, go bald, get a little softer around the mid section and it doesn’t matter. They are in service to 242. They become what 242 needs in order to live in the current era.

Why don't they play that song anymore?! Heck with the state of affairs they could make a 12 minute version of that live, but hey just My opinion. Now Moldavia is playing nice 👍.
those guys do not need fireworks, dear. Music is enough in itself! with Tim Kroke on drums, you got enough show already. the true pioners, so modest, but again, you do not need to boast when you are from Belgium, you got enough talent for others to boast about the fact that they know you (them/242, in the present case). No hard feelings! there are enough videos online if you do not like this one. Kundos to MothMeister for the photos!
Wenn der Depp neben mir fast lauter schreit, als die Kamera den Sänger aufnimmt… ich hätte mal die Position geändert. Je öfter man das schaut, desto nerviger!
