After the incredible success of the first-ever Magic Circle Festival in 2007, with an attendance of over 25,000 fans, Magic Circle Music and MANOWAR are pleased to announce a bigger, better and of course louder Magic Circle Festival in 2008.
Never content to be simply "good enough", MANOWAR and Magic Circle Music fully intend to make this year's festival twice as good as the original. While the original festival lasted two days, the 2008 edition, will last a full four days, starting on Wednesday and continuing through Saturday night. The event will take place amidst vast campgrounds so that fans can be there from start to finish.
Beginning on Wednesday July 9th at 12:00 noon, a true heavy metal fan - the reigning "Mr. Metal" Udo Sapper - will break the chains to the campground in a welcoming ceremony that will open the festival campgrounds to all the fans of true metal. This is when the party will begin. While fans begin to enter the campground and unpack, music will be heard from a stage set up in the campground, as bands from all around the world will compete in a "Battle Of The Metal Bands Contest". The winning band will play on the main festival stage and be awarded with a recording contract from Magic Circle Music. Fans can submit their band videos for judging through www.youtube.com with more details forthcoming.
From that point on, 20,000 free beers will be given away to fans in attendance.
Closing the day's festivities that evening will be a torch lit ceremony where the Viking ship that appeared onstage during the Demons, Dragons and Warriors tour and was used during last year's festival will be completely burned and sent to Valhalla.
On Thursday, Mr. Metal will lead the legions of the metal army to open the main festival grounds to the public as he runs through the festival ground - torch in hand - on his way to the stage tower that will light the eternal flame of metal, which will burn atop the stage for the length of the festival. Then, all fans can meet, hang out and get autographs from MANOWAR, HolyHell and other bands that will play the festival.
Later that evening, everyone will be able to attend the sound check that will give fans a chance to preview the next two days of metal devastation. And at 12:00 midnight, there will be an open air screening of the long-awaited new MANOWAR DVD, 'Hell On Earth Part 5'.
Where the original festival saw two custom-built chopper motorcycles given away, in 2008, four totally unique, custom-built choppers - personally owned and used by MANOWAR - will be given away to lucky fans; These are the exact same bikes that have adorned the pages of every major rock and biker magazine the world over.
The year 2008 will mark the 20th anniversary of the classic MANOWAR album "Kings Of Metal". In the words of Joey DeMaio "It's a party and you're all invited to celebrate". In order to commemorate this momentous occasion, Magic Circle Music will once again construct one of the largest stages in Germany. On this massive stage, MANOWAR will perform their first six albums in their entirety.
On Friday night, the Metal Kings will perform "Battle Hymns", "Into Glory Ride" and "Hail To England". On Saturday "Sign Of The Hammer", "Fighting The World" and finally "Kings Of Metal" will all be played from start to finish. This set will also feature a bombastic first-time rendition of "The Crown And The Ring (Lament Of The Kings)", which will feature the original choir and orchestral performance that has never been seen before.
All of this will only cost $115.00 (80 EUR).
Imagine a 4-day festival for less than the price of a regular concert ticket. But that is not all. This admission fee will also include parking and camping.
Magic Circle Music encourages fans to write in and submit any ideas they have for the Magic Circle Festival 2008.
Don't miss out on the biggest heavy metal experience of 2008. Be sure to attend the Magic Circle Music Festival.
True Metal Shall Reign Forever! Death To False Metal! Hail and Kill!
Tickets are now available for purchase via Credit Card or PayPal and two additional methods of payment are coming soon. For more information, please visit www.magiccirclemusic.com and www.manowar.com.
