| More bands have been confirmed for this year's Hard Rock Hell Ii festival, set to take place December 5-7, 2008 at Prestatyn Sands, North Wales, Uk. The festival billing is now shaping up as follows: Friday, December 5: Classic Rock Stage: Litmus Glyder Benedictum Budgie Thin Lizzy Doro Tigertailz Metal Hammer/Radio 1 Stage: Hexes Cry For Silence Textures The Plight Ghost Of A Thousand Johnny Truant Cancer Bats Young Blood Stage: Big Linda Attica Rage Saturday, December 6: Classic Rock Stage: Pilgrim Fathers Hawkwind Logan Orange Goblin Clutch Black Label Society The Wildhearts Viking Skull Born Again Stage: Spit Like This Pride Tiger Praying Mantis Tygers Of Pan Tang Waysted Porshamar Stage: Battlelore Korpiklaani Alestorm Outcry Fire Ravens Creed This Is Menace Power Quest Firewind Blitzkrieg Clive Aid Stage: Beholder Hecate Enthroned Million$ Reloaded Pig Iron Tokyo Dragons Warrior Soul Chariot Hard Rock Hell launched a new standard in Uk metal and rock festivals. Taking place across three days at Butlins in Minehead, Somerset on November 9-11, 2007, the sold-out festival was an enormous success, bringing together acts such as Twisted Sister, Saxon, Cradle Of Filth, Turisas, My Dying Bride, Zodiac Mindwarp and Tesla in a unique setting. Taking up where last years festival left off, Hrh Ii will span four decades over six arenas and feature 50 bands. This year's rock ritual will feature all Lords of the Riff and turn it into another 48-hour maelstrom of rock 'n' metal. Hrh Ii's selection of bands will not disappoint, with some incredible exclusives, rare appearances from the vault and even a trio of bands never witnessed on stage together to answer calls for a space, prog, psychedelic rock arena on the Friday night. Tickets include two nights accommodation and entrance to all six arenas as well as free car parking. Limited "early bird" tickets start from 90 Gbp. Hard Rock Hell picked up the award for "Best Rock Festival" of 2007 at last week's Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards. For more information, go to www.hardrockhell.com. |
