PRESS RELEASE 30.08.2011

POWER QUEST to headline Arctic Festival in 2012

UKs Power Metal 6 piece Power Quest have been confirmed to headline the Arctic Festival on Friday, 6th January 2012 in London. Tickets available from the 5th September via http://www.bridgehouse2.com

The bands latest performance at Bloodstock Open Air in Derby saw them play in front of a packed Sophie Lancaster stage and they managed to attract the biggest crowd on the festivals 3rd day. The response from both the media and fans was extremely positive.

Steve Williams comments: “It was fantastic to be back at Bloodstock for the first time since 2003. We were all blown away by the size of the crowd and the reaction as well. So many PQ shirts in the audience and so many familiar faces from down the years. Absolutely incredible!”

Power Quest is currently planning a few more UK shows towards end of the year, and we can confirm the following appearances:

November 25th – Bedford Esquires
November 27th – Wakefield Snooty Fox

On stage with Spellblast too! Excellent!

 

[moleSG]

Nice!
Am tempted to see if I can make it to this for the day, but might be quite expensive... something to look into nearer the time, great to see you guys headlining!

[1928]

Very nice, way to go guys!

 

[Kingface]

Awesome news! I may have to go to this.

 

[Nickstervarius]

May be tempted to go. And Elvenking playing on the Saturday? I thought they'd never return to the UK after all the fuss from Metalfest in 2009. I must see them again!

 

[1928]

Did Elvenking get a bad reception at Metalfest?

 

[giodude]

Looking forward to this! and gigging again in november, bring it on!

 

[Symphony]

Seems like ElvenKing and Secret Sphere have withdrawn from the bill.

Hopefully we will still get some people down for our show on the Friday night!

 

[Kingface]

So yeah, what's the dil-e-yo with Elvenking and the UK? I've tried looking up about it Online, including info about their Metalfest show (if it happened?) but no luck.

 

[The Crystal King]

Hopefully we will still get some people down for our show on the Friday night!

That's a pity, they are the main bands I was interested in watching!!

Any other good PM bands playing??

 

[Andiferum]

Elvenking did indeed play at the festival which shall not be mentioned.

 

[Thematt202]

I'm curious too, what happened?

 

[Nickstervarius]

You really don't want to know!

 

[Thematt202]

 

[Kingface]

Damn the lack of spillage! Oh well.

 

[Andiferum]

Shitty promoters who screw people over happened, that's all!

Aye, Steve gave a brief gist when it got mentioned in conversation yesterday.

 

[The Crystal King]

Despite all of the messing, it still had the best, most mind blowing line-up of ANY festival I've ever seen in the UK! I mean where else will you see bands like Fairlyland, PQ, Circus Maximus, Primal Fear, Dragonland, Thy Majestie (didn't make it), and many others to boot? Some of my faves anyway...
