Firefest Brings the Glam

Firefest takes place in Nottingham, England and is set for October 30 - 31. That's right: the festival is nine months away and promoters are already announcing bands. The fest is shaping up to be pretty cool, too - lots of Glam!

Here's the lineup:

Saturday, October 30:

LYNCH MOB
DARE
BONFIRE
SARAYA
BANGALORE CHOIR
BEGGARS & THIEVES
GRAND ILLUSION

Sunday, October 31:

NELSON
JIMI JAMISON
PRETTY MAIDS
STRANGEWAYS
STAGE DOLLS
NEWMAN
GRAND DESIGN

Seriously? Saraya? This is a reunion show for the band. Lead singer Sandi Saraya's been in retirement for awhile. Even more impressive is that the reunion is really of the original members - fantastic! I'd love to see that show for sure.

I was surprised to learn Nelson has never played the UK before. I guess Nelson is deep into the festival circuit now.

Bangalore Choir will play all of On Target during their set.

If I'm reading the official website correctly, tickets go on sale today and the price includes an early bird discount if you go ahead and purchase now. Maybe when I win the lottery...
