Finally: Tourdates 2023!
Finally here are the tourdates for 2023! It’s been a bit quiet during the last few weeks, because Steve and Michael had (and still have) to handle some health issues within their family – therefore the band decided, just to play a handful of gigs regionally this year. "There are some things in life, that are simply more important than music", says Michael. Anyway, more details about the concerts can be found on the tour page as usual. | More Info...

Update...
After a few weeks of silence, a short update: the band has finished the tour through Great Britain, Germany and Austria in the beginning of October and decided, to take a break for around 6 months now. Steve and Michael are not able to write quality-tunes AND going on tour at the same time, therefore the concentration will be on songwriting plus taking care of the homefront in the next few months. Cornerstone will be back at the concertcircle in the middle of 2023 with completely new songs – check out our website or social media for any updates! | More Info...

World record attempt at 200 ft height!
Drummer Erich Blie was selected from more than 50 drummers by the Italian deodorant brand BOROTALCO and the Austrian radiostation KRONEHIT to attempt a world record on the Vienna Riesenrad on 08/26/2021. For the very first time someone played a drum solo at a height of more than 200 ft on an operating ferris wheel. This would make Blie part of the GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS, he was coached by the Austrian song contest participant CESAR SAMPSON (#3/2018). Well done, Erich! | More Info...

On the road again...
After 9 months of absence the band is back on stage - the first two concerts of the tour have already gone very well. Due to the expiring Covid-19 measures the decision was made, to play concerts in Austria only for now, because planing an abroad-tour currently carries a certain risk – no one really knows, if the lockdowns are over or not etc.. But Cornerstone will for sure be back in the UK and in Germany next year, more details about the concerts for 2021 can be found on the tour page as usual! | More Info...

So... what's next?
There were some questions recently, why it has been so quiet in the last few months. Well… the band simply decided, to publish just meaningful news and content that makes sense on their channels. The cultural life fallen asleep a few months earlier due to the lockdowns and the Covid-19 crisis, so - honest to god, there are not that many news. At least no news Cornerstone want to share yet... Anyway: the planned gig in April in Wiener Neustadt will probably cancelled a fourth time, but the band is hopefully allowed to go on stage again end of May/beginning of June. The new single is still in the making, because there are a few difficulties with the recordings (Lockdown, anyone?), BUT some big news regarding Cornerstone are just around the corner and will be published soon. Stay tuned!

The Show Must Go On...
Apparently 2020 is the year of changes: after six years with Cornerstone, singer Alina Peter has decided to leave the group in the middle of the current tour due to personal differences - the other band members have taken note of this decision. Due to the Covid-19 situation, the band's plans for the next year are difficult to estimate - the only thing that’s certain at the moment is a new single with the current working title "Private Eyes", which will be released in the first half of the year 2021. In terms of live concerts, touring will probably start again in May or June, when the situation is a bit clearer due to the corona crisis. Stay tuned for more info!

We're back!
The corona crisis and the associated quarantine measures are slowly but surely coming to an end and the cultural sector is also picking up speed again. For Cornerstone this means, that concerts can be played again from June - of course under certain conditions such as protective masks and a safety distance. On 06/05 there will be a concert in Vienna, followed by around 20 gigs in Austria till the end of the year, mainly postponed dates from spring. Abroad-appearances will probably not be possible until next year, more details can be found on the tour page as usual. | More Info...
