Although sad news re K2, I totally agree family must come first and they agreeing to come in 2012 is good news.
I am however concerned that not enough time will be available for all the artiists on Friday evening! Why 3 acts? the other nights only have 2 which gives the acts concerned enough time to do full shows. I'm just concerned.
I'm sorry to gripe about this as the festival is so good. I am looking forward to the festival enormously and wish both Huw and Lambsie all the best for what promises to be another excellent festival

A little flurry of news about the Summers End Festival , which takes place on 7th, 8th and 9th October at Lydney Town Hall, Gloucestershire

 

Unfortunately, due to a serious illness to a member of bassist Ken Jaquess’ immediate family, K2  have had to withdraw from this year’s festival.  We wish Ken and his family well and have agreed that they will play in 2012.  Their replacements are the remarkable Day Six from Holland.  Having stolen the show at the Fused Festival in Lydney in April this year, we knew that we would have to bring them back for Summers End at some point, and K2’s unfortunate withdrawal, for a year at least, has give us that opportunity.  You will not be disappointed.

To complete or line up we are delighted to welcome Declan Burke and band to open the Friday night of the festival.  Dec is no stranger to the festival having already played with Darwin’s Radio and Frost, so the opening slot is in safe hands!

The Summers End Festival , which takes place on 7th, 8th and 9th October at is thrilled to announce the first part of its Friday line up, French prog maestro’s Lazuli.  The other exciting band for Friday will be announced in the next few days.

 

Over the years, this astonishing band has been the one of the most requested acts we have had, and so when the opportunity came to book them this year, we jumped at it.  They have always had rave reviews for their live shows and so we are thrilled to be able to bring them to the UK for the first time.  Built around the sound of the unique Leode instrument played by Claude Leonetti, Lazuli have built a reputation as one of the finest bands on the world progressive scene and their performance is not to be missed.

The Summers End Festival , which takes place on 7th, 8th and 9th October at is thrilled to announce its Saturday evening special guests, with a welcome return to the festival for The Tangent.

 

Now a truly British band, the group features ever-present keyboard player Andy Tillison, brilliant young guitarist Luke Machin, Jonathan Barrett on fretless bass and new recruit, drummer Nick Rickwood. The band are hard at work on their latest album “Comm” and have just released a superb live DVD “Going off on Two”.

 

Festival co-organiser Stephen Lambe adds:

“We had originally intended to invite the band to play in 2012, but having seen several of their remarkable live performances in the last few months, I just knew we had to get them back to the festival as fast as possible.  They are currently one of the best live prog bands in the world, and deserve to be seen by as many people as possible.”

Festival co-organiser Huw Lloyd Jones adds:

“As well as welcoming back Damian to Summers End, who has already made two hugely successful appearances with Threshold, it’s a huge thrill to have such a group of talented and in demand musicians playing the Festival.  We hope that the audience agree!”

Summers End Festival Announces Caravan
 
The Summers End Festival , which takes place on 7th, 8th and 9th October at is thrilled to announce that Canterbury legends Caravan will close the Festival on Sunday 9th October.

 

Caravan will need few introductions to Prog fans.  Since their inception in the late 60s, the band, led by singer / guitarist Pye Hastings and multi-instrumentalist Geoffrey Richardson, has become synonymous with fabulous song-writing and jazz/prog instrumental excursions.  Having been on hiatus for a few years, they will be making a return to live performance in 2011, and this will be a rare opportunity to see the band in such an intimate setting this year.

 

www.caravan-info.co.uk

 

 This completes our Sunday evening line up.  Caravan and Magenta should make for quite a closing evening, we hope you agree.

 

Bands already announced:

Arena (UK) – Saturday Headliner

Magenta (UK) – Sunday Special Guest

 K2 (USA)
Sunchild (Ukraine)
Casual Silence (Holland)
Invertigo (Germany)

Don’t forget that 3 day tickets are already on sale via www.summersend.co.uk . Sponsors Tickets, priced £85, get the purchaser a 3 day ticket to the festival, an exclusive “sponsors” T shirt, and at least one other exclusive Festival-related goodie to be confirmed, while Early Bird Tickets are available at the special price of £55 up until 1st May 2011.
