Guitarist Andreas Kisser happily donned a Derry City FC jersey while rocking out at the city centre venue.
The group had specifically requested the shirt.
Nerve Centre manager Tony Doherty said: “Every band sends the venue a rider with all sorts of requests but this had to be the most unique to date.
"The boys collect football shirts and are football mad!”
Here is a selection of photographs from the gig.
