Second vocalist recorded!
The second singer recorded vocals at the Electric Castle this week. You can listen to an acapella version (the instruments have been removed) at this location. We'll be announcing the identity soon, but first join in the guessing fun on our messageboard.

First vocalist confirmed!
There were some good guesses as to who the vocalist was on the sound sample that we put up a month ago. A few even got it right: the first vocalist who will star on the new Ayreon is Magali Luyten (Virus IV and Beautiful Sin). You can check out her MySpace pages here:

Magali Luyten
Virus IV
Beautiful Sin

Twelve vocalists have been confirmed so far, with a number of vocalists still to be added over the next few months.

Ayreon Fanmeet
Members of the messageboard spent nearly a year already organizing a fan-meet for Ayreon (Arjen Lucassen) fans. What started out as an informal get-together for forumers at a zoo, turned into a little bit of an event where 250 people can attend. It takes place September 15th, 2007 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. It starts 13:00 and ends aproximately 19:00.

Among the highlights of the day are a cover band called Ayreonotes, who will play a set of Arjen Lucassen tracks, an exclusive sneak preview of the new Ayreon album, hanging out with fans from around the world and perhaps even some special guests.

You can now order tickets via the website here - remember, tickets are limited! For more information please check this thread on the messageboard - relevant information starts at page 36. For questions please contact: fanmeet@live.nl and use 'fanmeet' as topic.
