Corona II: Cancellation Greece-Tour
Since the Corona crisis is still not over, Cornerstone decided with a heavy heart, to cancel the summer tour through Greece, too. The problem is that the band would have to pass four countries - including Serbia and the Republic of North Macedonia, which have currently closed their borders completely. But even if it were possible to reach the country, a tour is economically very risky: at the moment all promoters are extremely reluctant to engage bands because nobody can estimate if there is a crowd at all. The tour will be rescheduled to 2022 at latest, the next concerts will take place in August, according to the current situation. | More Info...

CORONAstone Quarantine TV
The Covid-19 crisis means that no concerts can be played at the moment, so the band decided to do something else and recorded a mini living room concert for QUARANTINE TV. The release will be on Friday 04/24, 4:00 pm (CET+1) - and even the Austrian Prime Minister ALEXANDER VAN DER BELLEN appears in it. Also some TV- and radiostations in Germany, Austria and Great Britain have announced, that they will support Cornerstone in this difficult time and will broadcast the contribution (or at least parts of it). For some Austrian radio stations, the announced "support for the local music scene" has been more a lip service so far... | More Info...

Rock against Corona - Charity from the Sofa!
The German band POTTINGER has started a project called "Rock Against Corona" and, as a first step, created a playlist on Spotify, which proceeds will be donated to the GERMAN RED CROSS and thus helps in the fight against the corona virus. Cornerstone are the only Austrian representant in this playlist - limited to 58 tracks from the rock and metal sector - with the single "Northern Light". All proceeds of the streaming will be donated - the more people listen, share and subscribe to the playlist, the more proceeds can be created! | More Info...

Corona: Cancellation Germany-Tour
With the deepest regrets Cornerstone have to cancel the Germany-tour, which was planned for the first week of April. Austria has already closed its borders because of the Coronavirus, Germany did the same, so there is currently no chance for the band to leave the country. Apart from that, it would be morally wrong to play concerts, while the virus is raging in Europe, killing people and causing other tragedies. The next concerts in Austria are of course cancelled, too, those gigs will be re-scheduled in the next few weeks, if everything is over – hopefully soon! According to the current state of things, the tour will continue end of April at YELLOW-NIGHTS in Amstetten. Until then: STAY HEALTHY, ROCK ON, and above all: STAY AT HOME!!!

After the Tour is before the Tour...
On Saturday 10/05 the concert year 2019 ended with a great gig in Maulburg (Germany). The record is quite impressive: 42 concerts in 5 countries, including highlights such as the CAMBRIDGE ROCK FESTIVAL (UK), ROCK AM PLATZ Koestendorf or the debuts in France and Scotland, to name just a few. Now, the band will take a short break to - in the words of Steve - "clear up the wardrobe and rearrange the shoes in a new way", writing new songs and refreshing their energies. 2020 will be a busy year again: in the first half (finally!) the release of a new single is planned, the very first Germany tour of Cornerstone will take place, and many concerts are on the agenda - except a handful of dates, the tour schedule is full until end of August. At this point, a big thank to all of you, who made these concerts possible and of course to those who visited it!

Finally back home!
So the band's tenth UK-Tour came to an end with a fantastic concert at HAUS ELKE in Soegel (Germany). Now there is a rest for a few days, and on 08/03 it goes on at the ROCK AM PLATZ- Festival in Koestendorf. The tour itself was quite exhausting, with many, many miles to drive, but especially the concerts in France, Edinburgh and Newcastle were definitely worth the efforts. One of the highlights was of course the CAMBRIDGE ROCK FESTIVAL, where Cornerstone had the chance to meet the great Don Airey (DEEP PURPLE, GARY MOORE). In the next few days some interviews and presssnippets will be published on the website, so stay tuned! | More Info...
