EXTREMA Announce Lineup Change
March 5, 2014, 10 years ago
EXTREMA have been confirmed for the lineup of Rock In Idro Festival 2014 held in Bologna (Italy). They will perform on June 1st with IRON MAIDEN, ALTER BRIDGE, BLACK STONE and HAWK EYE. The band’s guitarist Tommy Massara explains “It’s like a dream become reality, to finally perform on the same stage as Iron Maiden, who we have met a few times over the years but always ended up performing either the day before or the day after; for example Gods Of Metal 2005 or at the Heineken Festival 2007 where we played on the same day but on a different stage, only this time our amps will be linked with theirs. It’s also a true honor to be the only Italian band on that day’s lineup.”
Extrema has also announced a lineup change, Paolo Crimi, after nine years has left the band. He has been replaced by Francesco “Frullo” la Rosa who had his baptism of fire on February 7th at the Extenzia Rock Club in the town of Prato. Paolo’s decision to leave the band is strictly personal and they remain close friends. Paolo had expressed a wish to leave the band shortly before the last November/December’s European tour due to problems with his goal of becoming a full time drum teacher. The band wishes him all the luck in the world.
