2011-06-09 02:50 - Rock the City 2011 brings to the heart of Bucharest some of the biggest bands of the moment |
|
---|---|
Rock the City 2011 is an ambitious project, a festival that brings to Romania some of the biggest and best rock bands of all times, said Marcel Avram, the man that brought to Romania names such as Michael Jackson or Metallica. The festival has been officially launched on april 5, after a very busy press conference. The ears of all journalists presents there at the conference have been tickled when names such as The Prodigy, Judas Priest, Whitesnake, Papa Roach, Mike and The Mechanics, Therapy, Hatebreed were announced as the line-up of the festival. After the initial confirmation of the locations as Piata Constitutiei, the Rock the City Festival was moved to ROMEXPO, the same place where Sonisphere Fest took place last year. The three days of the festival will keep the people busy with parties organised by the sponsors, and all sorts of surprised. Some of the bands are a premiere for Romania. Papa Roach, for example, is visiting Romania for the first time. The third edition of the festival, comes after a 1 year break. The last edition of the festival has brought to Romania bands such as Saga, Queensryche and Lipm Bizkit, and it was held at Arenele Romane. As the need for good and powerful rock music has becaome bigger and bigger, the festival has been moved to a larger arena, in order to accomodate the crowds that will flock to mingle with the stars. The first names that were confirmed for the festival were Judas Priest – promoting their last world tour, and Whitesnake – promoting their latest album „Forevermore”. Even if Rob Halford, the lead singer from Judas Priest, has announced that the „Epitaph World Tour” is going to end the prodigious and the prolongue carreer of the group, Glenn Tipton, the guitar player gives some hope to the millions of fans outhere and announces that definettly, Epitaph is not going to mean the end of the band and of the worlwide tours. Presently, the band works to a new material, and if the band is to play, they will play in smaller tours. Halford & Co. have chosen their bands name after a Bob Dylan`s song, „The ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest”, from the album „John Wesley Harding”. Along the ages, Judas Priest has launched 16 studio albums and sold over 40 million disks. Their newest album is „Nostradamus” (2008), and it has reached the 11th place in the Billboard Chart 200. Also Whitesnake returns to Romania, for a concert in Bucharest. Their Bucharest performance is part of their worldwide promotional tour „Forevermore”, album that was launched in Europe on march 25th. Their first single disk from this album was „Love Will Set You Free” and it also comes with a video. This newest album was produced and arranged by David Coverdale, Doug Aldrich and Michael McIntyre in the Snakebyte and the Grumblenott Studios & Villas in Nevada and California. Whitesnake is a british rock band that started in 1977 in North Yorkshire), with David Coverdale (ex Deep Purple) as lead singer. The guy is so good in what he is doing, that a lot of voices have said that in fact, Whitesnake is only accompanying David Coverdale and nothing else. VH1 has nominated the band to occupy the 85 position in the Best HardRock Bands of All Times Chart. The first formula of the band brought together names such as David Coverdale, Bernie Marsden, Micky Moody, Neil Murray, David „Duck” Dowle and Brian Johnston, at keyboards, to be soon after misplaced by Jon Lord, from Deep Purple. Their first album was not so succesful, „Whitesnake” being launched in 1977, in a time when punk music was rulling the charts. The newest album, „Forevermore”, was described as having no boundaries, being melodic and full of passion in the same time. This album has been recorded in a new formula, Aldrich being the only surviver from the origibal crew. In Bucharest, Coverdale will share the stage with Doug Aldrich – guitars, Reb Beach (Alice Cooper) – guitars, Brian Tichy (Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Idol) – drums and Michael Devin (Kenny Wayne Shepherd) – bass. This month, in june, after the long performances in USA, Whitesnake will play in Europe, in Russia, Norway, Sweden, UK, Italyu, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, The Cech Republic, Austria, Serbia, Romania, Bulgary and Turkey. The tickets are sold exclusively through Eventim.ro and can be bought in the following shops Germanos, Orange, Vodafone, Domo, Humanitas, Cărturești and online on www.eventim.ro. The tens of thousands of people that will go to the festival will enter the Festival area starting with 2 p.m. in each day of the festival, and the live performances are to start at 5 p.m. |

2011-05-23 07:30 - Sound barrier built around Zone Arena for the Roxette concert in Bucharest, Romania |
|
---|---|
Even if we want to see more and more bands playing live in our city, it seems that sometimes, there are some others that feel the need to complain. It is not that the international stars are not quewing in order to get our attention, it is not that Bucharest still doesn`t have a propper stadium to accomodate the heards of people flocking in order to see their idols on stage, but it seems that now, some people are bothered by the noise those concerts produce. Yeah, you heard very well, it is the noise that it is bothering them. So was the case after Ozzy Osbourne`s live performance in Bucharest, on Zone Arena, when some people living near-by, started complaining that the concert is too noisy. It is a rock concert, god dammit, it is supposed to be noisy. But, if the people complain, the organisers have to obey, or that is what the law is saying. As a result, the organisers of the concert are building a wooden fence, 8 m in height and 100m in length as a sound barrier, so the people living near-by will not complain anymore. Needless to say that even if this wall is being built, you will be able to hear the concert even if you are 5 killometers away from the area where the concert is taking place. But, well, as I said, if the law sais that the wall should be built, the organisers have to comply and build it. Roxette plays live in Bucharest for the first time, on May 30th. This is part of the worldwide promotional tour for their last album,`Charm School`. The tickets for the show are available on myticket.ro, or in the Diverta Bookshop Network, at Sala Palatului, in the Mihai Eminescu Bookshop, Musica Store and at The Ark. There are several cathegories, depending on location and price: Golden VIP (seat included, in front of the stage) - 350 lei( 85 euros) Tribuna VIP (seat included, in the tribunes) - 250 lei (65 euros) Gazon A (lawn, standing) 120 lei (30 euros) Vlad Piriu The Beatfucker - The Party Rocker |

|
---|---|
Live Nation has announced that Sting, together with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, is extending the number of areas that his world tour is going to visit. As a result, a number of performances have already taken place in Europe and United Kingdom. The Symphonicity Tour, that started almost a year ago, on JUne 2nd in Vancouver, included a full series of sold-out concerts in USA along the entire summer. This way, a very large number of people had the opportunity to listen to some of his best hits, sung in a completelly new manner, the symphonic way. The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra is and has been directed by Steven Mercurio (known for his work with names such as Pavarotti, Bocelli). The european tour has started last year, on September 3rd, at Konserthus, Oslo, followed by a majestique performance on September 5th at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen. On October 5th, Sting and the Northern Simfonia Orchestra amazed the audience from The Sage Gateshead with an amazing performance. Live performances have been announced for some of the most prestigious venues in Europe, such as The Royal Albert Hall in London, on October 1st or the Verdi Theatre in Florence, Italy on October 25th, The Arcimboldi Theatre in Milan, on November 2nd and Santa Cecilia in Rome, on November 10th. The tour has stopped in cities such as Stockholm, Helsinki, Berlin, Koln and Paris, followed by concerts in Dublin, Nantes, Antwerp, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Stuttgart in October, ending with Venice and Turin in November. After a unmatched carreer, that has produced countless albums rewarded with platinum disks, a impressive collection of songs that reached the first position in the international charts, global sales exceeding 100 million disks, a collection of Stings best songs are being played it a complete new manner, orchestrated by Jorge Calandrelli, David Hartley, Michel Legrand, Rob Mathes, Vince Mendoza, Steven Mercurio, Bill Ross, Robert Sadin and Nicola Tescari. The special playlist put together especially for this event includes hits such as "Roxanne”, "Next To You,” "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” and "Every Breath You Take,” next to hits from his solo carreer, such as"Englishman in New York,” "Fragile,” "Russians,” "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You,” "Fields of Gold,” or "Desert Rose.” In order to support the long waited Sting World Tour, Deutsche Gramophon has launched the Symphonicities CD last summer. The new studio album takes the live experience further, so the first single"Evey Little Thing She Does Is Magic” has already been launched on digital support on May 24, 2010. Also, you can find on this exceptional disk you can find songs from The Police era, such as"Roxanne” and "Next To You”, and also from the Solo period, such as "Englishman in New York,” "I Burn for You,” "Why Should I Cry for You” or "She’s Too Good For Me”. Symphonicities was produced by Rob Mathes and Sting and was mixed by Elliot Scheiner (Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac) and Claudius Mittendorfer (Interpol, Franz Ferdinand). Sting started being interested in adding the orchestral side to his music, in 2008, after being invited to sing on the same stage with the legendary Chicago Symphony Orchestra. After remixing and arranging songs from his extended repertoir, Sting has met with the Orchestra for a concerts that gave birth to a very unique experience for him, making him eager to explore new potential collaborations with the symphonic music. As a result, the Philadephia Orchestra has invited him to join them in order to celebrate the 153rd Anniversary of the Music Academy. Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra has worked in the past with some of the biggest names in the industry, such as Andrea Bocelli, Bryn Terfel, Renee Fleming, Kiri Te Kanawa and the regreted Luciano Pavarotti, to Burt Bacharach, George Benson, Michel Legrand, Diana Krall, Tina Turner or Randy Newman.

2011-05-19 02:48 - New tickets cathegory for BON JOVI OPEN AIR - July 10th, Bucharest |
|
---|---|
It seems that the voice of the poeple has been once again, heard. This time, it seems that some people were annoied when the orgianizers of the BON JOVI concert in Bucharest have decided to introduce a new cathegory of tickets and in the same time, a new zone. The new zone was called Diamond Circle, and was supposed to occupy all the immediate front area of the stage, so its inhabitants would have the best vision. It was a bit infuriating, since there already a lot of people, and I am talking about the people that have bought all the tickets that were assigned for the Golden Circle, were hopping to get the best seats. And all of a sudden, they didn`t have the best seats. So they started quarelling on the social sites, and, as a result, the organizers have decided to call it off and forget about the Diamond Ring. Innitially, the organizers, announced on 18th of May that starting with that day, the people could buy a whole new cathegory of tickets, a far better one, than the ones sold before. Of course, it was all about the Diamond Gircle, a place where 700 very lucky people could be as close to their idols as possible, off course if they could afford to pay the price - 798.8 lei ( approx 200 euros). Pretty big, no? But I mean, who are we to judge, if you have the money, why wont you go and sit on the stage, if you can. But here were the people that have already bought all the tickets from the Golden Circle area, which was supposed to be the best place, till the Diamond Circle came about. So those people got pissed and started quarellyng. Finally, the wise decision was taken and the organisers announced that the Diamond Circle tickets would not be sold anymore. In an official statement, Denisa Sandulescu, spokeswoman for DD EAST ENTERTAINMENT, has declared that the Diamond Circle is something that comes with the Open Air concept, worldwide. That particular area was designated as such by the sponsors of the tour and was supposed to offer a greater confort and a better view for those willing to pay the price. But that decision came too late, unfortunatelly, when the Golden Circle area was already sold-out, and when the people already have paid good money for the best seats in the house. So Denisa Sandulescu has decided to stop the process of selling the tickets for the Diamond Area and to give up this cathegory of tickets for good. Those that already have bought the tickets for this area, will receive a Golden Circle ticket instead, and the rest of the money. As a plus, the organisers have decided to add the 700 Diamond tickets to the Golden Circle existing ones so they supplimented the Golden Circle tickets. This is a good decision, since there are a lot of fans willing to pay the price and be as close as possible to the New Jersey Cowboys. If you want your ticket, you still can find tickets in the other cathegories, as follows: VIP - 479,3 lei(125 euros) Tribuna - 372,8 lei (85 euros) Golden Circle - 298,2 lei (70 euros) SOLD OUT Normal Circle - 186,4 lei (46 euros) Peluza Parlament - 159,8 lei (38 euros) The tickets can be bought direct from the Germanos, Orange, Vodafone, Domo Stores and the Humanitas and Carturesti Bookstores from all over Romania. If you are abroad, you can find them online from www.eventim.ro. The concert is presented in Romania by East European Entertainment and Marcel Avram, in a joint venture with D&D East Entertainment.

If you are abroad, you can find them online from www.eventim.ro. The band doesn`t want to come to Romania empty handed and also they want to visit the country a little bit, so they said into a interview on Antena 1, that they started documenting, using father Google as guide in their endeavour to understand as much as possible our country. They said that they were possitive that in all the 27 world wide tours they have visited every country on Earth, but then they have discovered Romania. So they want to know about Romania, more than the usual Dracula stories.

After the release of their new album, called "Sting in the Tail", Scorpions are going on their last tour, which will take them across five continents. “While we were working on our album these past few months, we could literally feel how powerful and creative our work was – and how much fun we were still having, in the process,” said singer Klaus Meine. “We want to end the Scorpions' extraordinary career on a high note. We are extremely gracious for the fact that we still have the same passion for music we’ve always had since the beginning.” “So at some point,” added guitarist Matthias Jabs, “it came to us to end our career with this exceptional album.” Rudolf Schenker stated, “The three year tour through five continents is meant to be a huge blowout, where we can party with our fans and say good-bye.” During their 40-year career, Scorpions sold over 100 million albums and received many awards, such as the World Music Award and several Echos - the German comparison to the Grammy. Today they still play sold-out venues around the world. Not long ago, 152,000 South Americans came to 15 Scorpions concerts between Rio de Janeiro and Mexico City. Their song “Wind of Change” has become an anthem for the fall of the Iron Curtain. The band will play in Vilnius, Lithuania for the last time in 30 May. |

2011-04-26 08:36 - Smiley and Bosquito open the incendiary live performance from Shakira, this May, in Bucharest! |
|
---|---|
The two romanian artists, Smiley and Bosquito will be opening the Shakira live performance. Presented by Ciuc Premium and supported by Enel, the show will set downtown Bucharest in flames as the hot and sensual Shakira will start her unique live act. This concert is part of the worldwide promotional tour, „The Sun Comes Out”, for the seventh and the most recent album in her carreer. Smiley seems not to be a very simple person. Along the years he has proven himself as a very good and skilled singer, composer, dancer, producer, tv host or actor, being one of the most appreciated and tallented romanian performers. He started his carreer as the lead singer of Simplu, a freestyle pop band. Along with the other guys from the band, Smiley has launched a few big hits on the Romanian market. To name but a few, songs such as "Oare stii", “Hai, Bye”, “Sa zburam spre cer”, “O secunda”, “Jumatatea ta”, “Zece”, “Oficial imi merge bine”, “Mr. Originality” or “Dance for Money”, have touched the hearts of the Romanian audience. Starting with 2008, Smiley took his musical career into his own hands and started singing solo. The 2008 album, “In lipsa mea” is awarded with the golden disk and with “Best Album” award at Romanian Music Awards. The most recent single signed by Smiley is called “Dream girl” and has been launched this month. Started in 1999, Bosquito is one of the most popular latino-pop bands from Romania. At that time Bosquito was promoting a rather unusual musical style, a combination between latino-rock with some very clear balkanick, gypsy and symphonic influences. From then, the band has launched no less than 4 albums and countless singles, such as „Pas cu pas”, „Hopa Hopa”, „Doua maini” or „Marcela". The most recent song bearing the Bosquito mark,“Tobogan”, was launched by the end of last year and has been received with great enthusiasm by the fans. The tickets for the May 7th concert can be bought via www.myticket.ro, online or direct from the Diverta bookshops, Mihai Eminescu Bookshop, Sala Palatului and The Ark Venue.

2011-04-26 07:24 - Shakira brings Piata Constitutiei to the boiling point this May |
|
---|---|
After the big hit from 2006 when Emagic has brought Shakira to perform on a full stadium and in front of over 20.000 people, in Timisoara, Emagic Entertainment has chosen to play the winning card again and to bring Shakira again in Romania. This time we are talking about a bigger show, a bigger audience, and of course, a few more years added to the ever growing popularity of the latino-pop singer Shakira. Hits such as “Whenever, Wherever”, “La Tortura”, “Underneath Your Clothes”, “She Wolf “, ”Hips Don't Lie” or “Waka Waka”, hot and seductious rithms and sensual moves, a forever fascinating live performance and the unmistakeablea and unique voice of Shakira guarantees that you are about to witness one of the hottest live events this year, on May 7th. Shakira performs live for the first time in the front of the Bucharest public, this live performance being part of the world wide promotional tour „The Sun Comes Out”. Shakira`s presence in Bucharest this spring bears the result of the public`s request, after the astonishing live performance that the artist has had in 2006 , in Timisoara, Romania. After her first two albums flopped, Shakira took the reins of her third album, becoming involved in every aspect of its production. Released in 1996, Pies Descalzos, meaning "bare feet," sold more than three million copies. The albums she wrote feature her trademark sound, a blending of Latin, rock, and Arabic musical styles. Based on the success of her albums, Shakira became a music superstar in the Spanish-language markets, known for her strong vocals and incredible hip-shaking belly dance moves. This sense of artistic exploration is no surprise coming from a woman who began writing songs at the age of eight; learned to speak English by studying the work of Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Walt Whitman; and took history classes at UCLA during her break between albums. The compassionate side of Shakira is most obvious in the remarkable work of her Pies Descalzos (Barefoot) Foundation, which she started at the age of 18 and has now opened its sixth school. The foundation currently provides education and nutrition to over six thousand impoverished children in Colombia and is expanding its work to other countries, including newly launched projects in Haiti and South Africa. Over the course of her career, Grammy winner Shakira has sold close to sixty million albums. Her collaborations with such stars as Beyonce and Alejandro Sanz have helped keep her audience expanding continually. She is the only artist from South America to have a Number One song in the US, and her performance was a highlight of the 2009 concert celebrating President Obama's inauguration. She has four of the twenty top-selling hits of the decade, more than any other artist—including 2006's unforgettable "Hips Don't Lie," the biggest-selling single of the 21st Century, which reached the Number One spot in an astonishing 55 countries. “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),” along with its Spanish language version, "Waka Waka (Esto es África)," was yet another worldwide sensation. It sold over two million singles, making it the biggest World Cup song ever released. The official video has seen over 200 million YouTube hits, making it the Number Four most watched video of all time and the Number Three most watched music video. Including unofficial "Waka Waka" videos, the total cumulative views are over 400 million. The track was also the soundtrack to Shakira's 1Goal campaign for universal education. The tickets for the May 7th concert can be bought via www.myticket.ro, online or direct from the Diverta bookshops, Mihai Eminescu Bookshop, Sala Palatului and The Ark Venue. There are four different price categories, depending on your position towards the stage.

2011-04-18 02:57 - ROXETTE rides with joy at Zone Arena, in Bucharest |
|
---|---|
The 2011 spring brings a lot of good news for the milions of Roxette fans wordwide, but especially to those from Romania since the band is going to play live for the first time in Romania. The band doesn`t need any further introduction, being the most popular sweedish duo in the entire international musical scene. Roxette plays in Bucharest and in Romania for the first time on May 30, 2011 at Zone Arena. Their carreer, of over 25 years and comprising a list of 75 million albums sold all over the world and with over 30 best hits recommends Roxette as one of the best international bands that visit Romania this year. And they don`t come empty handed, but they bring along their latest album. This is the 10th world tour in their career and the first after a 8 years brake. The 80s band Roxette became fast one of the most loved pop bands, due to the success songs such as "The Look", “Dressed for Success”, “Listen to Your Heart”, “Dangerous”, "It Must Have Been Love", “Joyride" or “Milk and Toast and Honey" have had amongst the listeners worldwide. Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle have met for the first time in Halmstadt (Sweden), at the end of the 70s only to launch their first album, under the name Roxette - "Pearls of Passion" - a few years later, in octomber 1986. 6 other studio albums have followed, added to 7 compillations, 1 remix album, and 8 video albums, 39 singles and 39 videoclips. Along their carreer, Roxette has received a lot of awards for the"Best pop-rock group", "Best selling artist" or "Most Played video". 2002 brought the band to a standstill, Marie being diagnosed with having a brain tumour. During all this time, the members of the group took a break and dedicated themselves to more separate projects. After a dangerous brain surgery, several months of therapy and other several years of resting, the band reunited in 2009, bringing back on stage the feeling that everybody was craving for after all these years of absence. For the this year, Roxette has a few big plans. One of them is to launch a new single, a new album and to start a new worldwide tour, and as a consequence, to visit Romania. The tickets were available starting with November 16th last year, on www.myticket.ro, and after this they have become available on Diverta network, in Muzica Shop and in Mihai Eminescu bookshop.

2011-03-16 09:10 - New and big names come to complete de line-up for B’ESTFEST 2011 |
|
---|---|
If names such as Pendulum and Skunk Anansie came as a sunny day in the winter time, B’ESTFEST 2011 promisses even more fun when it comes to pleasing out thirst for good music. And so the surprise doesn`t stop here. Four other names come to add more flavour to the already enough presence of Pendulum live performance in the line-up. This time we will travel from Lamb, the Manchester trip-hoppers, to the legendary House of Pain, to the british ravers from Hadouken, to the extraordinary mix of dub, rapcore, dancehall and hard ragga-jungle that is Asian Dub Foundation. So from the point of view of the line-up, untill now, we can rest assured that our musical tastes are soon to be pleased for good. But B’ESTFEST 2011 is not only about music. B’ESTFEST 2011 brings something new to the Bucharest scene. If we take into consideration that in 2007 the Festival meant two stages one next to the other in a parking-lot...we will have to say that this years concept changes radically our idea of in-city festival. B’ESTFEST 2011 moves outside the city, in a an open space that is only 10 minutes away by car, from the place it used to be until now. Moving the festival outside the city, brings more space and with this come more stages, a new campind site, and also more room for the crowds that will gather in the 3 days of the festival. This is how a Bucharest Festival brings a true alternative to the already legendary outdoor festivals such as Peninsula (TG Mures) or Pepsi Sziget (Budapest). The tickets are already being sold. There is also a discount period, an early bird perios as it is called. This period expires on March 22nd, 2011 so if you want to get your pass with a 20% discount, you better access this page for details (http://www.bestfest.ro/editia2011/en/bilete). See you there!

|
---|---|
After almost two years of waiting and promisses, Pendulum joins us in full formation this summer, at B’ESTFEST 2011, on 3rd of July. It is not the first time Pendulum comes to romania. It first happened on November 7th, 2009, when Ben The Verse took the audience to shere dementia and the echoes of that party are still heard. Mc Verse is waited to arrive in Bucharest on May 16th, this year, but let`s ne frank here:How much fun can you get in a DJ SET? So MC Verse kept his promise, and we will have the entire band playing Live at the biggest music festival ever organised in Bucharest, Romania:B’ESTFEST It all has started in 2007, when the E`Magic Crew brought to life the first edition of the Festival. It was named B’ESTIVAL back then and the line-up included over 30 artists, being headlined by Morcheeba, Faithless, Kasabian, Pink, Marilyn Manson, Alice Cooper, Wu-Tang Clan. The festival reached a record audience for Romania with 50.000 people attending the event, during the three days. The 2008 edition brought an extra stage, an extra day (AFTERSHOCK), more bands in the line-up (36 in total), and an impressive spectrum of headliners: Alanis Morissette, Cypress Hill, UNKLE, Kaiser Chiefs, Manic Street Preachers, Stereophonics, Nelly Furtado, Manu Chao, Roisin Murphy, Judas Priest. B’ESTFEST’s 2009 included DAY ZERO as a bonus for all the festival’s fans. This extra special day kicked off with an amazing show from the world’s biggest band, The Killers and continued with Patrice, White Lies and many other gigs. Unforgettable performances followed over the four days with performances from Santana, Orbital, Moby, Motorhead, Franz Ferdinand, Gabriella Cilmi, The Charlatans, Manowar and many others! Being recognized as one of Europe’s best music festivals was just the beginning of a worldwide success. After its first edition, B’ESTFEST became a member of Yourope, the European festival industry association and ETEP (European Talent Exchange Program), a showcase organization that promotes new European artists within top international festivals. After winning a place in the finals of the UK’s event industry Oscars - the UK Festival Awards, BESTFEST 2009 also gained a nomination, for the ''Best Medium Festival'' category at the prestigious European Festival Awards. And that’s not all folks, the best is yet to come! We have fantastic news: in 2011, B’ESTFEST goes green!!! So this year, your festival is back and will take place in the wonderful green fields in the north of Bucharest, 10 min from the airport. B’ESTFEST CAMP will be this year’s pinnacle of excellent music, funky atmosphere - an oasis of joyous celebration and fun! Some other big names that have already confirmed their participation to the Festival, are Skunk Anansie and Asian Dub Foundation. The idea of moving the festival outside the city, in an open space, with a propper camping place makes this years edition of the Festival an interesting choice for spending your summer days.

|
---|---|
October falls in Romania with a blast, and this means that we will have a busy time covering all the events that are simply pouring one after the other this end of 2010. This year has started in force and it is certainly not the case this will end now. Big names such as Metallica, Megadeth, AC/DC, Rammstein, Europe, Korn, Faithless, The Cranberries have gathered enormous crowds of people, but these are only a few names on a list that contains a few dozens others covering all the musical genres that you can think of and they all have visited Romania this year. It seems that there is no room for anything more, but there is and in fact, the party just begins. If we already missed Guns`n Roses tonight, playing for the first time in Romania, we will shurelly hate to miss Ozzy Osbourne hitting Bucharest with a bang on October the 2nd, only two weeks from now. The legendary rock star is landing in Bucharest at Zone Arena and he promisses to offer to us the party of our life-time, greating the Romanian public with an extra 30 minutes of pure rock madness. This decision comes as surprise and it promisses to give those headbangers out there two full hours of hot and energetic rock music straight from the gates of hell. The artist is in a very good shape and is already gathering hundreds of thousands of people all over Europe and also all over the world during his 18th months long World Wide Promotional Tour. After cancelling his gig in Germany, at Oberhausen on September 16th, due to severe pains in his back, Ozzy promisses to give even more to his fans in the months to come. The show is brought in Romania by City FM Radio and Fun Time Production, and so every listener of City FM Radio has the chance to win a ticket to the concert. The event will start on october 2nd at 6.30 pm and is planned to end at 10pm, due to noise restrictions in the area where Zone Arena is located. Even though, the event is planned to be as incendiary and memorable as possible. Two romanian rock bands are opening the show: Luna Amara and Coma, both of them due to sing for about 25 minutes each, before the hell will cut lose on the stage during the 2 hour performance bearing the unique signature of Ozzy Osbourne. Almost 40 thousand people are expected to bang their heads till they drop senseless on October 2nd, while Ozzy will play memorable tunes from his old albums, and also new exciting and hot songs from its last albume, Scream. This is the first albume in three years, and it is the 10th studio album in his entire career. The singles from this last albume have already produced massive histerya all over the world, ocupying higher and higher positions into the charts. All in all, old and new meet on October 2nd for a night that the romanian public will not forget too soon. |
