Ramblin’ Man Fair is delighted to announce further acts to join the already impressive bill. The Rock Collective and TeamRock presents… event will bring the best of Classic Rock, Progressive Rock, Country and Blues to Mote Park in Maidstone, Kent over the weekend of 25th and 26th July 2015.
Saturday 25th July will see the following Main Stage additions (with more still to be announced)
Dream Theater (UK Exclusive Show) are masters of progressive metal and one of the most acclaimed and successful bands of modern times, with more than 12 million album sold in their career. Their appearance at Ramblin’ Man Fair is a UK exclusive.
Saxon are a truly legendary British heavy metal band – hailed by Metallica as one of their biggest influences. In the early 80s, Saxon made their name with era-defining albums such as Wheels Of Steel and Denim And Leather. Three decades on, they’re still delivering pure heavy metal thunder, with a new studio album expected soon.
“We are excited about playing our only festival show in the UK this year. It will be the last show of the 35th anniversary tour so make sure you bring your denim and leather.” – Biff Byford, Saxon.
Blue Oyster Cult are among the most enigmatic and influential American rock bands of all time, their mythic status sealed by seminal albums such as Secret Treaties and Agents Of Fortune – the latter featuring the smash hit and classic rock anthem (Don’t Fear) The Reaper. The band’s current line-up is still led by two of the dominant figures in BOC’s history: frontman Eric Bloom and guitar hero Donald ‘Buck Dharma’ Roeser.
FM have been described by Classic Rock magazine as the best melodic rock band ever to come out of the UK. Now, more than 30 years after their classic debut album Indiscreet, the new FM album Heroes & Villains proves they’re still at the very top of their game.
No Hot Ashes are one of the bands that formed part of Belfast’s epic 80’s rock scene. The beginning of 2014 saw them supporting the likes of Foreigner, FM and UFO. They are now bringing their music to the main stage at Ramblin Man Fair to put on one hell of a show
