Hey rock and metal fans – if you haven’t heard yet, there’s a phenomenal tour package shaking up venues across Europe right now. Gotthard are currently on the road with their Stereo Crush Tour 2025, and they’ve brought along none other than the legendary Y&T as special guests.
Swiss hard rock titans Gotthard need no lengthy introduction. With their signature mix of powerful riffs, soulful ballads, and arena-ready anthems, they’ve ruled the European rock scene for decades. Their live shows? Passionate, polished, and bursting with energy – simply put, Gotthard are in a league of their own.
But what makes this tour truly special is their guest: the iconic Y&T from California. With over 40 years of rock history behind them, Y&T deliver a performance so strong, they’re being celebrated by fans like co-headliners. And rightfully so – their 60-minute set (yes, a full hour!) is packed with fan favorites like Mean Streak, Black Tiger, and Forever, played with raw energy and undiminished power.
Live in Frankfurt – And Still Rolling
We caught up with the tour during their stop in Frankfurt, where we captured some killer shots and soaked in the electric atmosphere. It was clear from the first chord – this show is the real deal. Both bands delivered in every way, and the crowd was all in.

Y&T (short for Yesterday & Today) were founded in 1974 in California and are considered pioneers of the U.S. hard rock scene. Countless bands – from Metallica to Mötley Crüe – cite them as a major influence. And even after all these years, they remain an explosive force on stage.
