GODS 2005 - OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
Following a year of inactivity, the Gods Festival returns to the UK on the weekend of May 6th and 7th 2005, at The Town & Country Club, Bradford (formerly known as Penningtons).
Over the last twelve years, the Gods Festival has become synonymous with quality melodic hard rock and 2005 promises to be no different. This year's event is presented as a co-production between Fireworks Magazine, Now & Then Records and Emerald Productions, and promises to be the melodic hard rock event of the year in England, if not the whole of Europe. Over the years, The Gods has played host to such luminaries as Harem Scarem, Tyketto, Eric Martin, Bob Catley, Stan Bush, Mark Free, Hardline, Jeff Scott Soto, Talisman, Royal Hunt, Ken Tamplin, Hugo, Honeymoon Suite, Ten, Two Fires, Mitch Malloy and many others.
The criteria for the 2005 festival was simple - put together the best line-up possible from all areas of melodic hard rock. The promoters are confidant that not only have they reached their goal - but surpassed it.
The Gods Festival will kick off in Town & Country 2 on the night of Friday May 6, with full electric performances from Sweden's House of Shakira and Brighton rockers Pride. They will be joined by a third band (to be confirmed shortly), in what the organisers hope will be a very casual event - allowing fans and bands to enjoy the music and each other's company and of course, share a beer or two.
In the spirit of previous Gods events, it is hoped all the acts performing will make it along to the night and enjoy the vibe that is only generated by being at a Gods show.
The main day is Saturday May 7 - with nine bands scheduled to play. Doors open at noon with first band on at 12.30pm.
Merchandise such as T-Shirts and CDs will be on sale from a number of vendors offering a wide and varied selection.
Full ticketing details will be made available in the coming days. For those who wish to purchase immediately, tickets can be purchased directly from Fireworks Magazine by credit card, using PayPal. The PayPal address for all ticket purchases is: fireworks.mag@ntlworld.com. (Please allow 28 days for delivery of all tickets). Direct ticket sales will also be available for those wishing to purchase using cheques. Similarly, a list of online specialist stores carrying tickets will be announced in the coming days.
Ticket prices are as follows:
Advance Tickets: Sterling £40 (Pounds Sterling) / Day of Show: £45 (Pounds Sterling).
For those purchasing tickets directly from the promoters, you will be entered into a draw for a fully autographed electric guitar by Soul SirkUS, presented by the band at the end of their Gods performance.
