Perhaps you are not familiar with previous Firefest / The Gods Festival line-ups? As far as I'm aware it was never just about the pedestrian tempoed bands but rather a mixture of bands old and new who were bringing the best in Rock music out to the fans.

This isn't the first time Jorn has played one of these events and it wasn't that long ago we had Power Quest and Balance of Power performing at this very festival. Also I would not say Danger Danger who have also played at this festival are a melodic rock band, but rather a kick ass hard rock band who know how to get the crowd pumping.

On paper I wasn't excited about this years line-up other than Jorn featuring on it, however, having witnessed the bands in all their glory I have come away one happy bunny who's had one hell of a cracking weekend.

Both days were brilliant and long live the mix of all types of rock bands, not just the melodic ones. While some may like their rock as weak as tea I prefer mine with a bit more oomph to it.

Top marks and full credit to the whole team behind this years event, where to from here? A larger venue perhaps not a mere 10 mile down the road perhaps that can cater for the ever growing international fan base this festival has attracted? We shall watch for news with baited breath.

Who would have thought when this festival first started it would out grow somewhere as reknowned as Rock City? Bring it on!
