1.: Last tickets!
In less than ten weeks the time will have come. SUMMER BREEZE 2011 is drawing nearer with giant steps and will soon be sold out, just like the last three years! The first few ticket outlets are already announcing they are SOLD OUT! In the Silverdust Shop, too, the numbers of tickets are already down to a few hundred. In a few days they should be gone as well. So don’t hesitate and secure your ticket for the party of the year, either on www.silverdust-shop.de or one of the many associated ticket outlets!
On http://www.summer-breeze.de/site.php?name=Tickets you can always check which associated ticket outlets still have tickets available for SUMMER BREEZE 2011. Only those who have access to Easy Tickets stocks may have some more available. But also in this case you have to be quick before the SOLD OUT sign is finally on the door.
2.: Two more bands confirmed – Grand Magus and Burden of grief
We are stoked to announce the last two additions to the SUMMER BREEZE 2011 bill:
When it comes to pure, unadulterated steel, GRAND MAGUS delivered the album of the year 2010 with their masterpiece ‘Hammer Of The North’. While the Swedes’ first albums were in a more laid-back doom style, the band led by the unique vocalist JB have been rocking in a more traditional fashion since their 2008 breakthrough album ‘Iron Will’ , so their music should appeal to more than just Sabbath/Candlemass disciples. Even fans of Judas Priest attest to the fact that GRAND MAGUS are the next big thing, especially at SUMMER BREEZE 2011!
If there was ever a list of the most underrated bands, BURDEN OF GRIEF would certainly be at the top. 11 years after their awesome debut album ‘Haunting Requiems’ it is still an enigma why they weren’t able to make it during theabsolute heyday of Gothenburg melodic death metal (and after). Because, unlike the main acts such as In Flames and company, these likeable fellows from Northern Germany always stayed true to themselves and hardly ever opened their sound to alien experiments. Fittingly, the proof is last year’s killer album ‘Follow The Flames’. Welcome to a gripping introduction to the essence of German melodic death metal.
