The Classic Rock Society and Summer’s End present
Fused Festival 2011
April 1-3 2011
Lydney Town Hall, Lydney, Gloucestershire GL15 5JW

Fused - the new home of progressive and symphonic metal in the UK.
The Fused Festival is the brainchild of The Classic Rock Society and the team behind the Summer's End Festival, the UK's longest running and best-loved progressive rock festival.

Over the three days, the Festival will host live performances from some of the World’s finest progressive and symphonic metal bands and we are delighted to launch the festival with the news that THRESHOLD will be headlining Saturday 2nd April.

Lydney Town Hall in Gloucestershire, is a small, intimate venue with a capacity of just 400, so buying tickets early is highly recommended. Tickets are due to go on sale on November 1st; prices and outlet details will be released over the next few days.

The venue has a good size stage and an excellent sound from the superb Martin Audio PA rig that will be used for the festival. Real ale and excellent food will be available throughout the festival.

Over the next few days, our new website - www.fusedfestival.com - will be launched and regularly updated with information and links for the festival line-up, ticket sales, local accommodation and transport information etc. In the meantime, please join our Facebook group – Fused Festival 2011 - for updates.

Cheers, Huw

When you mentioned this at the end of SE Huw I was definitely excited (though singing along to Suppers Ready and The Knife might have had something to do with that) and now seeing Threshold headline the saturday means I'll be making two trips to Lydny next year.Any chance for To-Mera in the line up, please!?

The Fused Festival is delighted to announce the latest additions to the line-up of the festival.

From Germany, we're proud to present Toxic Smile. After being blown away by the sheer quality of this band, bringing them over was a must. With two albums under their belt and a third in production, this band's visit to the UK is long overdue! Check them out on http://www.myspace.com/toxicsmile

Next up is To-Mera, one of the best progressive metal bands that the UK has produced. They say they "came into the world with a simple mission statement: to push the art form of contemporary progressive metal forwards." Listening to their unique sound and the sheer quality of the band's musicianship, we wouldn't argue! More information from the band at http://www.to-mera.com

Finally (for today!) we welcome Haken back to the stage in Lydney after a superb performance at the 2010 Summer's End Festival. The band's debut album, Aquarius, is an absolute must for fans of prog and metal alike and their live show is equally brilliant. Visit them at http://www.myspace.com/hakenmusic

Price information will be released soon and tickets are due to go on sale on November 1st.

Shaping up brilliantly so far - nice one - congratulations.
Looking forward to THRESHOLD.
Big fan of HAKEN and TO-MERA.
HAKEN have an interesting website that's worth a look:
