Good chance I'll be attending this festival this year!

Never seen Deep Purple before...  would love to!

And of course, I'll just *crash* after Porcupine Tree...


Jesus never managed to figure out the theremin either

Man Made God, you bought Made In Japan, what a discovery  ! By the way, when I bought this album in the early Seventies my father was not pleased at all and he used to rush into my room screaming "stop that washing machine sound ..!"  .... Anyway, a dream comes true when I see them on the Arrow Classic Rock festival  !

I didn't know Ray Davies was coming. Hard to stay away in that case. I have once  seen a concert by him the man is not only a very good singer but also a great story teller with a great sense of humor. Third of may he plays in Vredenburg Utrecht.

Porcupine Tree is always very good. I have no idea about Deep purple and Rogers Waters at the moment though, are they still as good as they were in the past?

Interesting notes!
I am also looking forward to Def Leppard. Allthough I don't really know their music, a friend of mine who likes Deep Purple very much said DL is somewhat equal to DP.

Last weekend I bought Made in Japan (didn't have it yet ) and I have to buy loads of albums before going to this festival! But it will be worth it, I'm sure.

Deep Purple - Great, I have never seen them!
Def Leppard
Dio - I witnessed him on Parkpop along Marillion, lots of fanatical fans who were hanging in the fence after a few chords ..
Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush
George Thorogood & The Destroyers
John Waite
Journey - I have seen them on Pinkpop 1978 and in The Hague 1980, great live band and Neal Schon is an underrated gutiarplayer!

Pavlov's Dog - I am very curious to their performance, some Mellotrons on stage  ?
Porcupine Tree - I have seen them twic, excellent live band!
Queensr˙che
Ray Davies - I love The Kinks
Roger Waters (a 3 hour show, incl. complete DSOTM) - I witnessed the In The Flesh tour a few years ago in Antwerp (Belgium), oneof the best concerts I have ever seen, especially the Animals tracks and the images from Syd Barrett on the huge screen, very emotional.
Starsailor
Status Quo - I still love their 3 chords boogie woogie bluesrock!
Ted Nugent
Uriah Heep - Nostalgia and I have seen them a few years ago, great concert and these guys love their music!
Whitesnake

Haha, this would indeed be the perfect weekend, I guess.

I still haven't bought my ticket, but that isn't gonna take me much longer I guess. The more I think about the festival, the more I think: "this might be your only chance to see ... & ... & ..."

Erik & KingKay: do you think any more bands will be added? And what's your no.1 'must-see'?

Whoops, and after 2 days I find the right section...

Can a moderator move this topic to Live Performance Reviews?

Maybe that's the place where there are some more people who are interested in this festival...

I couldn't find a topic about this festival through the search, so here it goes. A topic about:



Arrow Rock Festival 2006

Every year the world's greatest names in rock history pay a visit to a Dutch place called Lichtenvoorde, for this festival, which will this year consist of 2 days.
The complete line-up so far (I don't know if any bands will follow) is:

Deep Purple
Def Leppard
Dio
Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush
George Thorogood & The Destroyers
John Waite
Journey
Pavlov's Dog
Porcupine Tree
Queensr˙che
Ray Davies
Roger Waters (a 3 hour show, incl. complete DSOTM)
Starsailor
Status Quo
Ted Nugent
Uriah Heep
Whitesnake

If my financial status get's any better than it is right now, a friend and I are travelling to Lichtenvoorde this year. Oh man, how cool will it be to see Deep Purple, Dio, Queensr˙che etc.... The opportunity of a lifetime, if you ask me! And 3 hrs of Roger Waters.... Man!
Any other Dutch people on this forum checking this one out?
