Cant believe it's announcement show time next Sunday. No PayPal this year so may have to wait till New Year to buy a ticket as all my money has disappeared into the black hole of Xmas!!! However always fun to speculate so here's my two penneth for what it's worth (which as we all know is nothing!) Friday headliners : Nelson Saturday Headliners : House of Lords or Great White Sunday Headliners : Survivor or Jimi Jamison solo Bands to be on : WET Lionville Vega Eclipse Baton Rouge Icon AOR (Frederick Slama) Harem Scarem re-union Dan Reed (playing acoustic show after gig : see FB page) Gene The Werewolf Robin Beck (if James is coming) Coney Hatch Pride of Lions Would love to see HEAT but don't think they'll be there this year given they are touring UK in April. Would love to see Treat do the Coup de Grace album. Would love to see Toby Hitchcock and Erik do 'Mercury's Down' but don't think that'll happen either. I'll also toss Loverboy and Giant in there. A Dan Huff-less Giant obviously. Diving for Pearls?

Great news indeed if true - they were the highlight of the weekend when they played a couple of years ago.

Kieran's already mentioned that JSS won't be available due to TSO duties...mind you that could be a bluff.

I think Terry has spread himself a bit too thin as he's in so many bands and projects these days, so would've preferred a different singer who was more like Dann Huff (I still stand by Johnny Edwards, although I know he retired), but I still enjoyed Promise Land.
But with Terry being in every band known to man and with John Roth in Starship, and the other guys having little interest in doing anything beside their session work in Nashville, I think the resurrected Giant was just a one-off experiment :-(
However, i'd love to see them, with whatever line-up playing the classics.

I'm also hoping Kieran has managed to finally nab Brother Firetribe after years of trying, and really hoping that JLT is there in some format, preferably Sunstorm.

I would like to see Royal Hunt returning from this year and a return to Scandi Friday with say Eclipse, Treat etc.

I think it will be easier to predict who isn't playing as I doubt there will be anyone that's also appearing at HRH AOR, as FF like their UK exclusives.

Less than a week to go to the announcement but I will be attending regardless of who's announced.

Personally I'd love to see 2012 line up Giant doing the above live and I'm sure they'd put on a superb show!

Glad to see some think the Harem Scarem anniversary performance of 'Mood Swings' idea might not be such a dreamy notion. By Sunday we'll all know for sure but very excited at the prospect if that could happen. Still think it's a pretty remote chance though.]]> Cressy NoticeboardTue, 04 Dec 2012 03:22:15 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,921493,921532#msg-921532 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,921493,921532#msg-921532 RAMSAY NoticeboardTue, 04 Dec 2012 03:18:12 +1100
