We're taking the next edition of the concert blog series into the last month of the whole journey, this time with only one show to present, yet a more exciting one. On the menu is Cult Of Luna, with two support acts: Brutus (BEL) and A.A. Williams. Even though it's been a while since this event happened, there's no hurry with the current ongoing situation.
