HIGH VOLTAGE FESTIVAL
Held in Victoria Park, London, this inaugural High Voltage Festival was a great success. It held three distinct stages dedicated to Classic Rock, Prog Rock and Metal and the line-up was superb, with bands such as ZZ Top, Joe Bonamassa, Uriah Heep, Down, Black Label Society, Gary Moore and Heaven & Hell, playing their last appearance ever, as tribute to their recently deceased lead vocalist Ronnie James Dio. Sunday night headliners were the legendary prog rockers Emerson, Lake and Palmer (Keith Emerson pictured), playing together for the first time in 11 years. I'm sure this festival will return for many years to come, and deservedly so.
