Press Release: Lillehammer Classic Rock festival 25-26-27-28 May
The first edition of Lillehammer Classic Rock festival in 2005 was a huge
success for the arrangers. Full houses and top musical presentations made the
festival a wonderful weekend for supporters of classic rock.
The 2006 edition will be extended to three days beyond Thursday 25 May
(Ascension Day, a holiday). Another new thing in 2006 will be the daytime
program in Lillehammer centre by the 'Mølla' hotel. The name will be 'Mølla City
Stage'.
The second edition of Lillehammer Classic Rock festival starts to get in
shape, and most of what happens up at the Radisson SAS Lillehammer hotel is
ready. Bands that dominated the rock history from the 60s to today will visit
Lillehammer during these May days. Along them you will find names you may not
recognise very well, but we can guarantee that you never will forget them after
the Lillehammer festival.
Here are the bands/ artists which at this time are ready for Lillehammer:
Procol Harum (UK) – 10 CC (UK) – Dan Baird & the Georgia Satellites (US) –
Focus (Hol)- The Quireboys (UK)
The Sweet (UK) – Dr Feelgood (UK) – Eddy and the Hot Rods (UK) – The
Sensational Alex Harvey Band (UK)
Never The Bride (UK) – Two Timers (UK) – Levi Henriksen og Thomas Mårud
