Tyketto & CoreLeoni in Bochum

Tyketto is an American melodic hard-rock band formed in New York City in 1987 by singer Danny Vaughn. The group is best known for its 1991 debut album, Don't Come Easy, and songs including “Forever Young,” “Wings” and “Standing Alone.” Tyketto reunited for a run of European shows in 2004, bringing its original lineup back to the stage. The band later performed Don't Come Easy in full on the album’s 25th-anniversary tour, while the concert release Live from Milan documented its performance at Frontiers Rock Festival.

CoreLeoni is a Swiss hard-rock band formed by Gotthard guitarist Leo Leoni in 2017. The group revisits songs from Gotthard’s early catalogue, including “Firedance” and “Downtown,” while albums such as The Greatest Hits, Part 1 and III also document its own recording career. CoreLeoni began playing European dates after its 2018 debut, with Ronnie Romero fronting the early concerts. Eugent Bushpepa later became the lead singer and toured with the band following III, keeping the shows centered on a full electric hard-rock lineup. The band has performed at Bang Your Head!!! in Balingen and on home-country festival stages at Rock the Ring in Hinwil.
