Summers End 2011 – Early Bird Tickets and further band news

[Lambsie]

Further news of The Summers End Festival, which will takes place at Lydney Town Hall on October 7th, 8th, 9th 2011.

This year we have decided to put 3 day tickets on sale immediately for those that want to get their tickets sorted out good and early, and who are willing to take a leap of faith on the continued quality of the festival!  There will be 2 types of early ticket, and these will go on sale at Midnight on Sunday 27th March :

Sponsors Tickets.  Priced £85. Those adopting the "Sponsors" package will receive a 3 day ticket to the festival, an exclusive "sponsors" T shirt, and at least one other exclusive Festival-related goodie to be confirmed.  It's also a brilliant way of contributing to the organisation of the Festival.

Early Bird Tickets.  With 3 day tickets likely to be priced AT LEAST £60 we are offering an early bird 3 day ticket at £55 up until 1st May 2011, when normal 3 day ticket prices will apply and Saturday / Sunday tickets will also become available.

We are also excited to report 3 more acts for the Festival:

Sunchild, from the Ukraine, are one of several projects to feature prolific and talented keyboard played Antony Kalugin.  This symphonic prog band have now released 3 albums, including last year's magnificent "The Wrap".  This will be their first live appearance in the UK. www.antonykalugin.net/sunchild.html

Our two opening bands this year both come from Europe.  Firstly, Holland's brilliant Casual Silence bring their metal-tinged prog to the Festival.  The band released their first of 4 albums in 1997, with their latest, "Vertical Horizon" was just released.
