DREAM THEATER To Play First UK Show Without Mike Portnoy At High Voltage Festival
December 7, 2010, 13 years ago
DREAM THEATER and JUDAS PRIEST will headline the 2011 edition of Classic Rock magazine's High Voltage festival, which will take place Saturday, July 23rd and Sunday, July 24th, 2011 in Victoria Park, London, UK.
Progressive metallers DREAM THEATER will headline the main stage on July 24th, marking the first UK performance of the band's new lineup following the departure of drummer and founding member Mike Portnoy.
Brummie heavy metal veterans Judas Priest will headline the main stage on the 23rd. Thirty-one years after they sealed their reputation as one of the world’s great festival acts with their performance at the inaugural Monsters Of Rock event, the band have chosen High Voltage as the sole UK festival date on their ‘Epitaph’ farewell tour.
Like last year's inaugural festival featuring ZZ TOP and EMERSON LAKE & PALMER, High Voltage 2011 will be custom-built by rock fans for rock fans.
The facilities will be second to none: great food, proper beer, clean toilets, deluxe hospitality packages, designated hotels, free shuttle transport. This is somewhere you can take the whole family.
Only High Voltage gives ticket buyers the freedom to design their own bespoke festival package — which can include accommodation, transport, parking and VIP bar access.
Tickets are priced £99 (for weekend tickets) and £56.50 (for day tickets). VIP tickets will be available at £105 for the day and £199 for the weekend. There will also be various VIP and hotel packages available, at varying price levels to suit. There is no booking fee for tickets.
