highvoltage_90ZZ Top and Emerson, Lake And Palmer to headline the first ever High Voltage festival, set to take place at Victoria Park on July 24th – 25th! Get High Voltage tickets here!

High Voltage is the UK’s new prestige rock festival, organized by Classic Rock magazine!

Emerson, Lake & Palmer are reuniting especially for High Voltage. This will be ELP’s one and only live performance of 2010 – and possibly the last show they will ever play together, the culmination of a spectacular career that has seen the trio sell over 30 million albums worldwide.

ZZ Top follow-up rave reviews at this year’s Download festival and a headline show at Wembley Arena with their first UK headline performance in 25 years at the first ever High Voltage festival!

Classic Rock Editor-in-Chief Scott Rowley says: “High Voltage is the festival all true rock fans have been waiting for – custom built by rock fans for rock fans. The High Voltage team have been to every rock festival imaginable – we’re taking what we’ve learned to build a festival unlike any other.

“First of all there’s the music: two amazing headliners AND three unique stages specially curated to cater for different sides of the rock audience, and a brilliant supporting cast playing special must-see sets.

“Then there’s the festival itself. The facilities will be second to none: great food, proper beer, clean toilets, deluxe hospitality packages, designated hotels, free shuttle transport. This is somewhere you take the whole family.”

“If you can think it up, we can do it. We asked our readers what they’d like to see and we’re taking the best of their ideas and making them happen. It’s 30 years since the first Monsters Of Rock festival, and now, at last, rock fans have finally got a quality festival they can call their own.”

High Voltage will feature three stages featuring the best in classic rock, progressive rock and metal – stay tuned for more very exciting news about that on Metal Hammer!
