High Voltage Festival

High Volage Festival, London Victoria Park July 24th & 25 2010.

I'm looking forward to hearing the band announcement for this festival, from what I've heard there's going to be 3 stages A Classic Rock stage, A Metal Hammer stage and a Prog stage.

ELP have been announced as one of the headliners:

There's a discussion on the facebook page where you can say who you want to see.
I've included Frost* in my list, of course

Thanks Julie I hadn't noticed the discussion

ZZ Top are also headlining.

Here's the map of the layout of the festival:



I thought more bands where being announced today, will wait and see

[Pedro]

The Loos appear to be overflowing already.... :?

*resists urge to add "here be dragons" to the map

Shouldn't there be a cloak-room near the Prog stage?

(Also, I'm making a mental note to keep well away from Pedro next time I have a pint of beer, for fear that he might wee in it).

I don't want Frost to play. I want to be a fanboy for this one!  :lol:

[Pedro]

Do we read into that that Frost* got an invite?
Bizarrely, for a gagging-for-it Frost*ie fan-boy like me, I am quite at peace with the notion of Frost* having their be-rainbow-toe-socked feet up for 2010, if only in terms of live appearances, thus paving the way for other new and interesting things.

nooooo you have to play on sunday [but not the same time as elp ] its my [fiftieth] birthday treat from the Mrs and Ive really been hopeing frost play

Touchstone have announced they will be the opening band on the prog stage.

My first thought was 'wonder if we could tempt Jem into a Frost* appearance, but as he's said above, he want's to be a fan for this one. So instead how about a big forum meet up/picnic/general booze up? Including the great man himself if he so chooses)

[Ash]

That sounds like a lovely idea and might stop my Loreley/High Voltage dilemma...
