Some great bands there.

Blackfoot without Rick Medlock or Jackson Spires. Hmmm...

Wow! That sure is an eclectic list of bands. Motorhead, The Outlaws, Riot and The Tubes at the same festival?

Forgot to say that Mark Reale are going to do a Thundersteel / The Privilege of Power line up-reunion for the festival! It can't get much better, always loved Riot's three first singers. Never liked the DiMeio era that much though.

SRF is as always great Fest in the EU ... if not in the world.

LITA FORD
H&H
DREAM THEATER
EUROPE
...
hmmm very nice indeed.
i'm sure that big headliners gonna be added later as Festival surprise.

Now it's reaveled at the homepage that THE JOHNNY WINTER GROUP will play at the festival, great!

haha The Tubes?!?! hahaha Right on! Glad to see they are still doing music.

Heaven and Hell, Motorhead, Amon Amarth, and Forbidden all on one bill! DAMN!!!!

Lots of great bands this year. I wish I could go to see Jon Oliva and band. A friend of mine is going with his girlfriend.

What a lineup!!!

Riot with Tony Moore? Could this lead to a new album with him? I like Sons Of Society but the stuff befoe Mike was the best.

I'd love to see JOP, Riot, Imp, Owens, and many more. Somehow, Journey doesn't fit at all.

The Outlaws without Hughie Thomasson? That's like Queen without Freddie Mercury.

Been there and done that with Jon Oliva's Pain. very good, to be sure, but nothing like classic Savatage!

Oh, I've seen Jon Oliva's Pain live before. And I've seen Savatage live 4 times, and met the band twice. It's just always cool to see them again!

I which I had the money to be there, WAKEN should worry
