Arrow Rock Festival (Holland)

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
Queensrÿche
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, Queensrÿche 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?

I will be there!

Man Made God, perhaps this would be a good time for that "Exchange Program" you were talking about, hmmm?

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!
Queensrÿche
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

I go to, for the second year

Last year: Styx and Dream Theater

This Year: Roger Waters and Friends, Porcupine Tree, Deep Puprle and Journey

 It's going to be a couple of heavy day's

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  !

Well, actually, I can't stand the studio-version of Child in Time. But on MiJ it just sounds much better, and all the other songs rock, so it was in the end a logical choice
And I still haven't bought a ticket!

By the way, I'm still wondering if any more bands will be announced...?

the billing is so great, a lot of bands that are quite essential for anyone who loves good rock music ;)

but this is so sad
i have my oral exams just the tuesday after that weekend

Pavlov's Dog at Arrow Rock Festival 2006 is completely bogus!!! Promoters of the festival should think twice and not allow them on the bill for they will not be delivering the band PD fans truely want to hear.  If you’re a true fan salivating to hear the Original Pavlov's Dog finally to ring their bell abroad...know there is currently only one original member in the band. For the fans who yearn to hear the true instrumental sound of Pavlov’s Dog with Douglas Rayburn's mellotron, Steve Scorfina's lead guitar, Rick Stockton's bass guitar, David Hamilton's keyboards, Siegfried’s Violin or Mike Saffron's backbeat on the drums....they will sorely be disappointed for none of these or any past members are currently with voice David Surkamp. You can expect to hear nothing instrumental of the original ABC or CBS recording band. PD fans will salivate, prior to the concert only as a conditioned response. After the bell rings at the festival, PD fans will be singing Bring Back the Good Ole Days.....and starving for the Classic Rock Band aka the St. Louis Hounds. Good note for all rockers at the festival that the headliner that day is Roger Waters who can stand alone.
