CHRISTMAS METAL SYMPHONY 2009 TICKETS AVAILABLE!

Eventhough it is still summer, the second edition of CHRISTMAS METAL SYMPHONY (December 20. 2009) in 013 - Tilburg is already in full progress. The first names can be announced and the staff is still discussing the participation of some more great metalnames! For those of you who don't want to miss out on this unique Christmas show, you can order your tickets as of Saturday September 5. 2009 when the official presale starts an to make shure that your Christmas will never be the same....!

The first name to announce is the man with the most stretch in his vocal chords: JORN LANDE. We are honoured to have him on board on this second edition. Through te years, Jorn is recognized as one of the finest rock and metalsingers around with a great solo-career and many solo CD's. Currently he rejoined his old band Masterplan and he is back in the studio with them (after an absence of 4 years) to record their new CD that is scheduled to be released at the end of this year.

Progmetal's topvocalist DAMIAN WILSON is the second name we can announce for CMS 2009. He was (and again is) the voivce of Treshold. Damion is also known for his hard work as guestvocalist and musical partner in various projects like Ayreon, Star One, Rick Wakeman's English Rock Ewnsemble en Gary Hughes. Another part of his talent was demonstrated when he accepted the leading part in the world famous Les Miserables ('98-2000), a careermove that took his fans by surprise. With his voice full of power and passion he managed to be elected 7 times (!) as the best vocalist at the Classic Rock Society UK Annual Awards.

The old-school part of Christmas Metal Symphony this year will be represented by the great small man with the amazingly big voice: UDO (Dirkschneider). Fasten your seatbelts for some of the best metalsongs of the eighties written by the legendary German band Accept. The only problem we have with this, lies in the fact that Accept have written so many great songs that it will be hard to choose. Great metal from Germany...Christmas will never be the same!

Last year we were so overwhelmed by the power of MATS LEVÉN, that we immediately asked him to rejoin us on this second edition. Mats loved the showconcept so much that we can now announce him as the steady factor of the show and official partner of Christmas Metal Symphony 2009!

The Dutch part of the show will be represented by the female vocalist who had to overcome most impressions of festivals and shows this year: CHARLOTTE WESSELS of Delain. All the things that happened with Charlotte and her band are hard to describe; it looks as if the Delain Express can't be stopped! We therefore felt that we had to offer Charlotte a peaceful and relaxed Christmas in great Metal Harmony...and she said YES to her appearance at Christmas Metal Symphony this year!

These are the first five names that we can announce, and what a great beginning it is. More names will be announced in the coming time. So, if you want to make shure not to miss out on this yeras edition of Christmas Metal Symphony on December 20. just buy your tickets at presale.

Presale starts Saturday SEPTEMBER 5, 2009 and you can find all further information about this on the website of 013 - Tilburg.
