Anglagard!!! f**king brilliant, when do the tickets go on sale?

Nice to see Leprous have been added to Fused, gutted I'm going to miss them now. I'm a bit short on cash and other than Concrete Lake, theres nothing on the bill I'd get excited about this year.

News of the Summers End Festival at Lydney Town Hall on September 28-30.

 

We are thrilled to announce the first ever UK appearance of legendary Swedish symphonic prog band Anglagard.  The band were pioneers of the 90s prog revival, with a sound drenched in the 70s, and released two terrific albums, Hybris and Epilog.  Their live shows are legendary, with three festival appearances in the USA particularly well remembered.  After reuniting briefly in 2003, 2012 will mark the long awaited release of album three and a return to live activity.  This may be the only opportunity to see the band live in the UK, so is not to be missed!

In line with our mission to give our supporters something a little different each festival, we are also very excited to announce Knifeworld.  Led by guitarist / vocalist Kavus Torabi (The Cardiacs, North Sea Radio Orchestra, Guapo) the band meld superb pop hooks with dense arrangements which blend prog and psych into an unique recipe.  Their appearance is not to be missed!

Nice to hear the September date, given the hints you put out on the Yahoo group earlier I thought it might have been in November, and since I camp that makes it a bit of a no-no for me.

First information I've heard about the Fused Festival on here since I was at Summers End this, will have to take a look at the sponsor tickets.

Summers End Dates announced

 

First of all, we are delighted to announce the dates of the 8th Summers End Festival, which will be held on September 28-30th 2012 at Lydney Town Hall in the Forest of Dean. This will be our fifth Summers End at Lydney!

 

As some of you will be aware that we have extended offers to two of the bands that could not make the Festival in 2011, K2 (featuring Spock’s Beard’s Ryo) from the USA and Sunchild from the Ukraine. We are hoping that both these bands will be with us in 2012, and we are also happy to announce the happy return of Manning.  Having played the Festival in acoustic form in 2006, the electric version of the band have gone from strength to strength and have recently released the critically acclaimed “Margarets Children”. More details at www.guymanning.com

Fused Festival News

 

For those of you that cannot wait for their Lydney fix, a reminder that the 2nd Fused progressive and symphonic festival, takes place at Lydney Town Hall on May 25-27th 2012.

 

The line up announced so far:

Stream of Passion, Andromeda, Manticora, Lost in Thought, Awake, 69 Chambers, Exoterik and Concrete Lake.

 

Sadly, Seventh Wonder have had to withdraw from the festival as Johan’s wife is due to give birth that weekend and he understandably wants to be there!  We wish the Liefvendahl family the best of luck and hope to see the band at Fused in 2013!

 

Sponsors tickets remain on sale at www.fusedfestival.com and expect more headline information very soon…..

Information is also available via the Fused Facebook page at:

http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Fused-Festival-2011/172205012793767

 

…and finally….

 

A quick plug for the first CRS-compiled Covermount CD New Species Vol:1 available free with issue 187 of Rock Society via http://www.classicrocksociety.co.uk/shop/backiss/

It features tracks by: Frequency Drift, White Willow, Day Six, Wobbler, Crippled Black Phoenix, Unitopia, Paul Menel, Morpheus Rising, Phideaux, Konchordat

 

Cheers!
