Hi All

We are deligted to announce the first three bands for this year's festival to be held on October 4th to 6th at Lydney Town Hall, Gloucestershire

We welcome Germany's SYLVAN back to the festival after their appearance in 2010. The band released their first album in 3 years last year, the superb "Sceneries", and the band remain firm favourites with audiences throughout Europe with their brand of powerful, emotional prog.

Another returning band are JUMP who played our first ever Friday Night at the Little Civic in Wolverhampton back in 2007! Their latest album The Beachcomber was released in 2010 and their brand of proggy rock continues to delight fans up and down the country. We can confirm that charismatic vocalist John Dexter Jones remains in very fine form indeed!

Finally, the mighty DEEXPUS from the North East make their first appearance at the festival after a meteoric rise which has seen them release two superb albums, the second of which features Mark Kelly of Marillion on keyboards and play a famously brilliant set at Rosfest in the USA. Led by writer / guitarist / vocalist Andy Ditchfield their live performances have become legendary so their appearance is not to be missed.
