ROCKIN' FIELD: THE NEW METAL FESTIVAL ARRIVES - ON 26 JULY IN ADRO, HEADLINER AVANTASIA

A new metal festival is appearing in Italy. The ROCKIN' FIELD sees the light this year in the heart of summer. The first edition, organised in collaboration between Adro Rock and Barley Artswill be held next Saturday 26 July within the Industrial Area, which from next year will be home to all the Adro Festival.
The imprint of the day, which is taking shape day after day, is that of a modern power festival, but we do not exclude openings in other musical derivations, always in heavy terrain. It is not yet possible to reveal the entire bill of Rockin' Field, but it is with great pleasure that we make official the presence of the AVANTASIA as a headliner.
The project of TOBIAS SAMMET (former lead singer of Edguy), returns this year after five years of silence with the new album "The Scarecrow" The successor to the acclaimed two-part Metal Opera (2001 and 2002), which drew comparisons to other power metal milestones, especially Helloween's double "Keeper of the Seven Keys".
The new project is even more ambitious than its predecessor: many changes of register, from speed to symphonic to classic hard rock, and a first-class guest list. From Eric Singer of Kiss to Micheal Kiskethrough the legend Alice Coopermany metal stars (Jorn Lande and Bob Catley among others) have made their contribution to Tobias' genius creature. The possibility of some of these taking to the stage in Adro for the first edition of ROCKIN' FIELD cannot be ruled out.
The production that will follow AVANTASIA in Adro will have a strong epic and spectacular connotation, in line with the imagery and themes developed in "The Scarecrow".

Tickets go on sale around the first week of February.
Information on other participating bands, times and prices will be announced in the next few days at www.rockinfield.com
