Festival organiser Gary Paterson said, “I can’t quite believe Amplified is almost here… I guess it just goes to show that hard work pays off, and with the support of good friends and colleagues in planning your dream, anything can happen.” Paterson, a well-known and respected promoter with over 20 years experience in the music industry, continues, “Whilst bringing chart-topping multi-platinum album selling rock bands from around the world here to the Cotswolds, we’ll also showcase some of the best up n’ coming acts of the rock/metal scene from not only here in Gloucestershire but from all regions of the UK. Expect a few surprises and get ready to get Amped in 2017!”
