The shows of Oscar and The Wolf are a truly amazing. The frontman Max Colombie is an amazing dancer. In his glittery clothes he dances around on the stage like there is nothing greater in the world (and to be honest, is there?) He seems to be in his own world with their music as the soundtrack. And the crowd and I were please to join that world. Max Colombie also genuinely loves the audience. Sometimes you see him staring in the crowd and then he just gets the biggest smile on his face because of all those people who came for him. Just amazing. The band can create a great vibe where you're shaking as hard as you can one moment and dreaming away the other. They're great. Just great.

The Oscar & The Wolf concert in Ziggo Dome on Saturday 24 November 2018 was absolutely FANTASTIC!!!

Max was on a roll and had extravagantly fun in playing us in the crowd. What a live performance it was. So well played by the band and perfectly sung by Max. The minimalistic (all white) stage was beautiful in combination with the superb light/laser show.

PERFECT PERFORMANCE!!!

I've been meaning to see Oscar & The Wolf in Istanbul since they have performed there a few times but I couldn't catch the dates. Finally I got to see them in Amsterdam and it was one of the best shows I've had the pleasure of witnessing. I didn't think it was possible but now I like him even more than I did before. Friends that I took along (they didn't know about Oscar & The Wolf before the show) can't get over it either.

Concert was great and did not dissapoint.

Felt that having purchased a VIP ticket we could have been hosted a bit better while we were waiting to be admitted, this took more than an hour from check in time.

All in all it was a great experience.

About Oscar and The Wolf

This show is being postponed to 16 th November 2022 . All original tickets remain valid.

Artist message below –

My dearest sweethearts,

It breaks my heart to tell you that some of The Shimmer dates are being postponed. Due to the ongoing health crisis, the measures that are being imposed, and the current insecurity in the live music industry, it’s still impossible to set up a tour on a European scale. Oscar and the Wolf shows should represent energy, togetherness, and love. In our current climate, we can’t assure you The Shimmer tour will be the experience we imagined it to be. I truly wish things were different and we could have celebrated being together. Your tickets will remain valid for the new dates. Ticket holders will be contacted personally through email. Can’t wait to see you soon during one of the new shows when we finally fully return!

Taylor Swift Ends European Leg of Eras Tour With Surprise-Packed Show

FILE PHOTO: People walk on the 'Swiftie Steps' ahead of a Taylor Swift concert, following the cancellation of three Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna because of a planned attack, at Wembley Stadium in London, Britain, August 15, 2024. REUTERS/Toby Melville/File Photo

By Paul Sandle

LONDON (Reuters) -Taylor Swift was joined by surprise guest Florence Welch for her first live performance of "Florida!!!" during the final European date of her Eras tour on Tuesday.

The pop megastar also debuted "So Long, London", a ballad that fans widely believe is about the end of her relationship with British actor Joe Alwyn, in the acoustic section of the show at Wembley Stadium.

Both tracks feature on Swift's eleventh studio album, "The Tortured Poets Department", which was released this year. Welch, of British indie rock band Florence + the Machine, co-wrote "Florida!!!" and sang on the recorded track.

Fans from near and far had travelled to London's Wembley Stadium for the show, Swift's fifth in the British capital in August and eighth this summer, as they snapped up the last opportunity to see her critically acclaimed show in Europe.

The London nights followed the cancellation of her shows in Vienna, when a planned attack was foiled by authorities.

Some of the 195,000 disappointed fans in Vienna rushed to buy tickets for the London dates on resale sites, where they were changing hands for up to 10 times face value.

Swift told the crowd that she had become the first solo artist to ever play Wembley eight times in a single tour. "We will never, ever be able to thank you enough for it," she said.

Eras, the first tour to surpass $1 billion in revenue, showcases all 11 of Swift's studio albums in dedicated sections. Her performances and the show's staging have been praised by critics.

Fans arriving in Wembley, dressed in sequins, cowboy hats, and forearms covered in friendship bracelets ready to swap with other Swifties, faced tight security checks.

While British police have said there was nothing to indicate the events in Vienna would impact any of the shows at Wembley, there was highly visible security at the stadium.

Tay-gating, the practice of gathering outside a Swift show without a ticket, as thousands did in Munich last month, has been banned, as authorities try to reduce harder-to-control risks outside the venue.

Marie Wright, aged 48, from Limerick, Ireland, bought tickets on a resale site on Monday evening and flew to London on Tuesday with her daughter’s best friend Aoife McCarthy, aged 15. Her own daughter had already seen the show in Dublin.

"She’s going to leave Europe, so we had to come for the last night," McCarthy said.

"Her songs have real meaning and there’s a poetry to them,” Wright added.

The tour returns to the United States in October and ends in Vancouver, Canada, in December.

PROVISION OF ADVICE / AWARENESS RAISING - Through the Eyes of a wolf exhibition | Italy

Implementation: November 2022 - September 2023

Member state: Italy

Contact organisation: MUSE, Museo delle Scienze, Trento

More information: https://www.lifewolfalps.eu/en/nella-mente-del-lupo/ 

Target species: Wolf

Communication on large carnivores is often focused around conflict and addressing those who are strongly opposed to large carnivore presence. This however risks losing the broader public who perhaps have less strong feelings around large carnivore presence but have the potential to be interested by their biology and behaviour. As part of the EU LIFE WolfAlps project, this public is addressed through a range of actions. One innovative approach is collaboration with artists and museums. The project has designed and presented an immersive exhibition using video and audio effects, which tries to see coexistence from the perspective of a young wolf in dispersal (leaving his home pack to find a new territory and mate). The exhibition was hosted at Muse from 4 November to 28 May, then travelled to the St. Francis Monumental Complex in Cuneo (10/06/2023 - 2/09/2023) .The openings of the exhibition where both times preceded by an educational event where speeches on coexistence, study and prevention of threats to conservation where held. Both openings also included a dialogue with Italy’s leading wolf expert Luigi Boitani. From September till October, the exhibition moved to Milan . In all locations, the exhibition was complemented by conferences on wolves, activities for children, teacher’s training, and in Cuneo also bicycle excursions including a visit to the Centre for People and Wolves.

• Research on similar types of immersive exhibitions and the techniques used
• Development of a script for the exhibition, assisted by researchers and communicators of the LIFE WolfsAlps EU project
• Video footage was filmed in Trentino
• Development of audio visuals with input from the contracted company Filmwork, supervised by MUSE.
• Exhibition trialled and adapted according to feedback, original ideas had to be scaled back due to costs and the technologies adapted as the immersive video affected some participants physically (motion sickness).
• Opening of the exhibition was preceded a dialogue with the wolf expert Luigi Boitani, discussing biology of wolves as well as protection laws and coexistence in Italy
• Didactic activities and teacher trainings accompanying the exhibition e.g.  "The wolf between legend and reality"
• All conferences on wolf topic organized during the exhibition went sold out and people enjoyed it
• the exhibition was an opportunity to promote the project
• Journalists invited to the press conference had the opportunity to learn about wolf biology

The approach, examining coexistence from the perspectives of the challenges faced by an animal trying to adapt to a manmade environment and keeping hidden from human view has not been widely trialled. Many visitors reported that they felt more compassionate toward the wolf experiencing this video, although the video in itself has no dialogue or comments. This means that images and immersive broadcast can reach emotion and make people thinking from a different perspective.

The experimental exhibition also reached people that are not interested in wolves, but are attracted by art and technologies. The opening attracted journalists, and created opportunities for experts to disseminate information on wolf biology and coexistence.

The exhibition was visited by 51,000 people in 3 different locations.

The project was funded through the EU LIFE WolfAlps project. To set up the exhibition cost EUR 35 000 VAT excluded the touring cost EUR 20 000 VAT excluded. It is important to mention that Muse had already the technologies required for the exhibition and borrowed them with an agreement to project partners. Three video projectors were used at a cost per projection lens of EUR 6000. The Watchout (a software needed for a multiscreen projection) cost about EUR 15 000. It would be possible to host the exhibition at lower cost by using a completely dark room in which video projectors (fixed to the ceiling) project onto a canvas or onto semi-circular panels
