March 11, 2010, 14 years ago
HAIL!, the supergroup featuring David Ellefson (MEGADETH) Mike Portnoy (DREAM THEATER), Andreas Kisser (SEPULTURA) and Tim Ripper Owens (ex-JUDAS PRIEST, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN), are confirmed to play the Rock In Rio Festival in Madrid, Spain on Monday June 14th with METALLICA and MOTÖRHEAD. Owens has issued the following statement:
"To play a festival this big with these unbelievable bands is super exciting and an honor. Motörhead and Metallica are two huge influences on all of us - so much of an influence that we have opened every HAIL! show with Motörhead's 'Ace Of Spades' and closed every HAIL! show with Metallica's 'Whiplash'. As we haven't played in Spain or Portugal yet (HAIL! are also performing at Rock in Rio in Lisbon on May 30th) we can't wait to play there and are looking forward to drinking a beer with all of our fans. We are in the process of confirming another 8-10 shows during the two weeks in between the Rock In Rio festivals and we will announce those dates real soon."Stay tuned for further updates.
