ROCK FOSSILS on Tour hit Dotternhausen's WERKFORUM & FOSSIL MUSEUM with a regal boom! It all began with a rock fest collab: the mighty BANG YOUR HEAD! Festival. Werkforum and Fossil Museum staff named a crinoid near the fest grounds 'Bang Your Head! crinoid' in metal's honor. Lucy, the replica of the famed prehistoric human discovered in Ethiopia in '74, made her debut. She's named after the Beatles' classic "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." A fresh exhibition trailer got the green light.

The Bern design got pumped for Dotternhausen, sporting fossils from Bern and ACCEPT's METAL HEART. Wolf Hoffmann, Peter Baltes from ACCEPT, and Horst Franz, BANG YOUR HEAD!'s head honcho, kicked off the exhibit with autographs, plus museum-first stage diving and crowd surfing! A fitting start for ROCK FOSSILS in Dotternhausen, packed with tours and talks. Rebellious Spirit even cranked out an awesome free acoustic gig for the exhibit visitors.
