Dear SUMMER BREEZE Community!
1.: More bands announced
Christmas and New Year’s Eve are only just gone with their Advent Calendar and End-of-the-year Countdown, and already our booking office presents the next few highlights to keep your neck muscles in shape. Look forward to more big names and hopefuls on the SUMMER BREEZE 2011 bill.
The grand masters of Northern hyperblast are coming: KATAKLYSM! Compared to their last appearance in Dinkelsbühl in 2008, however, this characterization is only 50% accurate nowadays, as on their last three, justifiedly acclaimed albums, ‘In The Arms Of Devastation’, ‘Prevail’ and ‘Heaven’s Venom’, the Canadians have mutated from a blast-heavy death combo to accomplished songwriters with varied songs. From the unbelieavably fast double bass attacks to the all-destroying slo-mo crushers and extremely catchy choruses, Maurizio Iacono and his cohorts have mastered all facets of death metal, which has made them into a nearly unbeatable powerhouse. Furthermore, their gig at this year’s SUMMER BREEZE is going to be something very special. We’re talking about the band’s 20th anniversary show, which will obviously be captured on camera for a future DVD release. Make sure you secure your place in the front row!

2.: Special “Ticket + DVD” offer drawing to a close
The bill for SUMMER BREEZE Open Air 2011 is getting hotter and hotter as you can read above! So it’s no wonder the free DVDs that are included with the first 10,000 tickets are slowly starting to run out.
Act now if you still want to secure a copy of the DVD, which is chock-full of live performances, interviews and impressions from SUMMER BREEZE 2009 and is not available anywhere else. You can order the ticket + DVD for an unbeatable 72.- Euros (incl. parking/camping, excluding pre-sale fee) from www.silverdust-shop.de! Only until DVD stocks last! Be quick or be dead!
3.: NEW BLOOD AWARD 2011
It’s a small anniversary for the NEW BLOOD AWARD this year, as it’s round five for our newcomer contest. The winners of the last few years have already shown what different kinds of talent exist in our scene, who find a platform at SUMMER BREEZE. This mix is the essence of an extraordinary newcomer contest which presents a little change in 2011, making it even more interesting for all of you. While limited to the German-speaking countries in the last few years, the NEW BLOOD AWARD finally goes international, getting ready for the competition from near and far. As of now, we welcome all applications from non-German-speaking countries, taking the contest to the next level.
The NEW BLOOD AWARD is one of the most important prizes for young, up-and-coming metal bands. The winner’s from the last few years – STITCH, FUCK YOUR SHADOW FROM BEHIND, SECOND RELATION and BLEEDING RED – have shown there are high-quality bands in the underground and that it’s time to offer international bands a platform too.
Tradition has it that the winners will get the chance to open the SUMMER BREEZE festival on one of the open air stages, presenting their material to an expert audience at one of Germany’s biggest festivals. Furthermore, the band will receive the specially made NEW BLOOD AWARD on one of the open air stages.
About the conditions:
You have no deal, but loads of potential?
You want to put up your material in an international competition?
What are you waiting for? Send us your demos and self-released albums before March 31, 2011. In order to provide all participating bands with equal chances, we will not cover any travel and accomodation costs. Please take this into consideration before submitting your material.

Due to the growing number of Spanish-speaking festivalgoers at SUMMER BREEZE over the last few years, we have now added Spanish as one of the available languages on our festival website www.summer-breeze.de. This way we hope to make the planning for their stay even easier for all our friends from Spain and South America.
Stay heavy! \m/
