DORO plays 2,500th show

Legendary German metal queen DORO PESCH celebrated her 2,500th concert on March 13, 2010. The landmark performance took place at the new Burg-Wächter Castello Arena in her hometown of Düsseldorf, Germany in front of 2,500 raging fans and included guest appearances from Destruction mainman Schmier, Krokus vocalist Marc Storace, and Holy Moses frontwoman Sabina Classen, among others. “A huge heartfelt ‘Thank You’ to everyone for [their] continued support,” the singer gushed, “especially for making the 2,500th concert such a night to remember! What a special time we all had…The crowd kept it strong until the end and the lucky few even more at the after-party. The band could have played all night had the venue not kicked us out! And thanks to all of our guests, including Krypteria, Luke Gosser And Marc Storace, Schmier , Sabina and Andy [Classen] and Burn Bitch Burn.”
