Friday and Saturday don't really interest me, but the Sunday looks fantastic! Really going to have to go (as long as they haven't sold out of tickets by the time I can afford to buy one in about 6 weeks' time)...

I have to say that I listened to this announcement last night and I must be one of the few people disappointed by this line up.

 

For a regular Firefest attendee there are just too many repeats from previous years - for a start all three headliners are repeats. 2/3 of the special guests are repeats (Stage Dolls....yawwwwwwn, and Mitch Malloy (the 3rd time...yawwwwwn).

 

The Sunday will out for me because Royal Hunt have no interest for me and nor does Brighton Rock. Will be a shame to miss Farcry as I think they will be great...so too for Lillian Axe.

 

Possibly considering the Saturday line up as interested in hearing Gotthard with their new singer. XYZ should be good, Robin Beck is playing with Denander so that could be pretty special, and of course WORK OF ART !!

 

Cheers

If it were anywhere close geographically, I'd go. It may seem odd, but I'd be looking forward to the Friday lineup more than the other 2 days, with Sunday being second. Saturday looks weak to me.

 

Yeah I would be too if it weren't for the thought of seeing Tyketto again bores me' senseless! Must be the fifth time? Sixth??

The Sunday looks best to me. Saturday is good, though XYZ and Santers (who?) don't interest me at all. Work of Art would be awesome...

A few bands that interest me - Work Of Art, Robin Beck, Lionville, Farcry and Danger Danger and quite a few that don't to be honest. Santers is an interesting addition, as I saw them way back and they were brilliant, although I would have to reserve judgement now as that was over 25 years ago. Nice to see Firefest getting an old band back together again as with Coney Hatch last year though.

 

As usual, I won't be able to say If I can go, as band gigs are pencilled in, plus I am doing another musical project which may be taking even more of my spare time up by October. Cross fingers I can go this year.

odd to me that there is no love for Saturday? Hey ho.

 

let me summarise

 

Gotthard & D2 on a par

 

MM > Stage Dolls (trust me on this one !)

 

Sure sure about Lillian AXE & XYZ...probably a close one

 

Santers/Brighton Rock - Food break lol

 

Robin Beck > Royal Hunt (surely?)

 

Work Of Art > Fiona (absolutely!)

 

OK Farcry > Lima (but that's un unknown for me cos Lima might be awesome?)

 

So by that Saturday is the stronger day - for me amyway.

Gotthard and D2, probably go with D2 because the new Gott singer might haven't settled in perfectly

I'll prefer XYZ over Lillian Axe because LA might play too many new songs these days

Robin Beck and WoA are no question better, but Farcry and Lima might be a balance competition, overall Saturday is a champion for me too.

 

Glen, if you can only go two days, why don't you pick Sunday over Friday ? is it because you can't skip work on Monday ?

Damn this Firefest, someday i'll have the bravery to spend $2500 for this crazy trip :D

Looks like I'm not the only one who prefers the look of Sunday. Very good line up imo, whereas Saturday doesn't interest me at all. I really want to go, but I think the tickets sell out quickly, don't they? If they do I will miss out, as I won't have the money for a ticket for at least 6 weeks. :doh:

I believe Bernd is correct, mainly because they limit the number of available tix for the Friday to 1000. You're probably safe for either of the weekend days... oh, and I recommend Sunday in case you were wondering... ;)

I know Dan is already going on the Sunday - if there is a HH contingent I'll opt for the Sunday instead.

Trying to get a mate to come and share a car (he has posted on here a few times). He lives in Rochford - right near you, isn't it?

      Motley Crue signed with the country label from Tennessee Big Machine Rec.. New song Dogs of War relased on Friday the 26th. Other than that don't ask me what there doing they did a little video of them signing contract and it doesn't include John 5 so he's not really part of Motley he's a hired gun..  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3iDklwv1PI&t=2s

      Not much information on the video's page, other than it appears to be an AI creation. Once it gets into the verse and especially the chorus, it's actually not too bad IMO.

      While I appreciate your interest in contributing to the site, most of the artists and albums you are submitting are either REALLLLLLY stretching the boundaries, or as in the case of this band, completely off the mark. No alternagrunge. No punk. No death metal/power metal (although those can be submitted to Brutal Metal). You can always start a thread asking about a particular artist before blindly submitting it for inclusion. Thanks! -Dan

      Deep Purple announce new album =1 (July 19, 2024 via earMusic)

      By whiplash1972 · Posted

      DEEP PURPLE Announces New Album '=1' - BLABBERMOUTH.NET DEEP PURPLE, one of the greatest and most influential rock bands of all time, will release a new album, "=1", on July 19 via earMUSIC. The first single will be unveiled on April 30 at midnight, a taster for the full 13 tracks of pioneering and rip-roaring rock and roll. "=1" is the band's first album with sensational guitarist Simon McBride, who seamlessly slotted in when longtime member Steve Morse left due to personal circumstances. Since 2022, Simon has already played to DEEP PURPLE audiences totalling more than half a million people. ith three consecutive No. 1 albums in their back pocket and a resurgent new energy powering them forward, this is DEEP PURPLE at their pinnacle. "Now WHAT?!" (2013),"inFinite" (2017) and "Whoosh!" (2020) have sold over one million copies worldwide, making DEEP PURPLE one of the most successful rock bands currently active. The latest studio album, "Whoosh!", reached No. 1 on the album charts in seven countries and charted in the top 10 in another 12. "=1" track listing: 01. Show Me 02. A Bit On The Side 03. Sharp Shooter 04. Portable Door 05. Old-Fangled Thing 06. If I Were You 07. Pictures Of You 08. I'm Saying Nothin' 09. Lazy Sod 10. Now You're Talkin' 11. No Money To Burn 12. I'll Catch You 13. Bleeding Obvious In 2022 came the sad news of Steve Morse's departure due to personal circumstances, but DEEP PURPLE, never a band to let a set back throw them off course, sought out the masterful skills of guitarist Simon McBride and played the year out in style, exciting crowds with a new energy and excitement. Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Don Airey and Simon McBride continue with renewed vitality, pushing the boundaries of hard rock to audiences around the globe, proving that DEEP PURPLE are very much here to stay.
