Here comes some more information about the bands which will be participating in the event this year:
JOE LYNN TURNER
US born singer JOE LYNN TURNER is well known for his classic work with bands such as RAINBOW, DEEP PURPLE and YNGWIE MALMSTEEN. Through the years, the charismatic frontman additionally has managed to establish himself as a successful solo artist and as one half of the amazing band HTP (Hughes Turner Project). Expect to experience some of the Hard Rock genre’s true classics during his show!
STAN BUSH
STAN BUSH is not only known as one of the ultimate song-writers emerging from the American AOR scene but also has established his own band BARRAGE as one of the leading artists of the genre. This year’s performance at UFOR marks his first German show since a lifetime and therefore is a simple must for any fan of the genre!
DANGER DANGER
Long time, no see – this also goes for legendary US band DANGER DANGER! Their show at UFOR will be the first one in Germany since years and shows the band back in original line-up feat. Ted Poley, Steve West and Bruno Ravel. True hits such as „Naughty Naughty“, „Rock America“ and „Beat The Bullet“ ruled the airwaves on MTV and on every radio station around at the Hairspray Metal heydays at the end of the 80’s – songs, which haven’t been forgotten until today!
WHITE WOLF
Hailing from Canada are the re-united AOR cracks of WHITE WOLF. Centered around singer Don Wolf and guitarist Cam Macleod, the powerhouse band will rock the crowd with their timeless Candian sound. The band’s performance at UFOR comes along with the release of one of the most anticipated AOR releases of the year: “Victim Of The Spotlightâ€, their first new studio album since 1987.
SOUL DOCTOR
Berlin based Hard Rock SOUL DOCTOR feat. FAIR WARNING singer Tommy Heart and guitarist Chris Lyne have with their powerhouse live performances established themselves as one of the most entertaining live acts of the scene of today! At this festival, the five-piece will introduce songs both old and new – their forthcoming album is scheduled for a release in late September 2007!
LAST AUTUMN’S DREAM
This Swedish/ German dream team featuring members of FAIR WARNING and TALISMAN is blessed having one of the finest voices in Melodic Rock as their frontman: Mikael Erlandsson. This show marks their first ever live appearance in Europe – a definitely exciting gig to look for!
HUMAN ZOO
HUMAN ZOO are the newcomer shooting starts of the Melodic Hard Rock scene in Germany of the year 2006. Their album “Precious Time†belongs to the big winners amongst both press and fans. Shortly before the festival, the band from Balingen, Germany will release the follow-up to their great debut!
