Classic Rock Shall Rise Again!

Damnit, it will!

Inspired by the news that Emerson, Lake and Palmer are reforming to tour and record starting with the High Voltage Festival in two weeks



Two of the three were on Danny Bakers show on BBC radio this morning, 40 years after they opened the Isle of White festival they'll be bringing the curtians (and rugs) down on the HVF.

As you can see the line up is pretty darned good, so to begin, starting at the top -

Don't think I'm going unless it gets organised super quick! I really wanna see Foreigner and wanna meet Phil Anselmo again. I could have given him a signed poster from my boxing fight - I tell ya it'll be worth money when I'm famous! *Sigh* I love fantasy...

Carl Palmer will be busy drumming for ELP and Asia, Steve Howe did the same on guitar for Yes and Asia on their US tour last year. Great line up.

Mad idea, but anyone fancy popping over to it. Thinking about the saturday for ZZTOP and Gary Moore....

Indeed it does......the only think I'm worried about is clashes, but I'm getting to mark a lot of bands off my Bucketlist with this Fest and going with some good people so all will be cool.....:D
