PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal
It barely seems almost a year ago since I attended Les-fest, now renamed Wildfire, an annual 3 day classic rock & metal festival situated in the picturesque setting of Wiston Lodge, South Lanarkshire in Scotland. Now in it’s 4th year it has gone from strength to strength and organiser Dave Ritchie has once again pulled out all the stops with yet another strong line up.
Being a fan of NWOBHM I will be definitely be watching/reviewing Diamond Head, Holocaust, Tygers Of Pan Tang, Tysondog and Salem along with Balls Deep, Benedictum, Fahran, I.C.O.N, Lawless, Lawnmower Deth, Lord Volture and Spirytus, but these and many more can be found on an impressive bill of over 50 bands.
My fellow planetmosher, Steve, has highly recommended Ireland’s Animator, who recently won the M2TM Dublin competition.
This year’s installment of Wildfire runs from the 26th-28th of June.
Tickets – individaul day & weekend, with or without camping and can be purchased now from www.wildfirefestival.co.uk
