Legendary WARLORD headlines KEEP IT TRUE 16

[Oliver/Keep-It-True]

English version below:

Hallo Freunde,

es ist soweit, wir können endlich unseren großen Samstagsheadliner bekannt geben. Seit dem ersten KEEP IT TRUE haben wir es probiert und nun endlich wird es Realität. Die legendären WARLORD um William J Tsamis und Mark Zonder werden den Samstag des 16. KEEP IT TRUE Festivals headlinen und das Festival beschließen. Es wird erste Auftritt seit den zwei Gigs 2002 in Wacken und Itzehoe und zudem wird es 2013 dazu ein komplett neues Album geben. Hier dazu noch ein paar Worte von William J Tsamis:

“Warlord is very happy to be coming to the Keep It True festival this April 2013. As you may know, there was a lot of tension whether Warlord should play Keep It True or Headbangers Open Air. I have great respect for the promoters of HOA and I have great respect for Oliver Weinsheimer, the promoter of Keep It True. In the end, however, our decision was based on one simple factor - and that was "the fans." Apart from researching the venues and corroborating with our peers from other respected metal bands, it all came down to what the fans were saying. Our intelligence sources followed numerous discussions on the internet, and it was clear that the fans at Keep It True seemed to want Warlord more than the fans of Headbangers Open Air. Thus, "Warlord is coming like a thunderstorm to deliver "epic power metal" in a way that you cannot even imagine . . . and we are doing it for "the fans" because we love "the fans." In fact, to us, it's all about "the fans". So when the fans tell us by a 10 to 1 margin that we should play Keep It True, we listen to the fans because our radar is up and running and our satellites are watching the situation. We hope the energy and affection at Keep it True will be able to match the passion, power and shock that Warlord will bring, because what we have in store for you is something that you cannot even imagine!" Until then, all the best, William J Tsamis“

Hi Friends,

Finally we are able to announce our big Saturday headliner. We tried the band since KIT 1 and now it becomes reality: Legendary WARLORD with William J Tsamis and Mark Zonder will headline the KEEP IT TRUE Saturday. This will be the first show of WARLORD since the two shows in 2002 in Wacken and Itzehoe. There will also be a brand new album released in 2013. So be prepared for the mighty return of WARLORD. Here are also some words from William J Tsamis himself:

“Warlord is very happy to be coming to the Keep It True festival this April 2013. As you may know, there was a lot of tension whether Warlord should play Keep It True or Headbangers Open Air. I have great respect for the promoters of HOA and I have great respect for Oliver Weinsheimer, the promoter of Keep It True.

Ich würd Warlord so gerne sehen, aber um die Zeit wird mein zweites Kind etwa 1 1/2 - 2 Monate alt sein, da kann ich nicht auf ein Festival fahren.

Oli, wir brauchen in Zukunft eine betreute Krabbelgruppe neben der Tauber-Halle.

Zum Line-Up selber fällt mir echt nichts mehr ein, das ist sowas von sensationell, ich kann das erst glauben, wenn ich die beiden Lords spielen sehe...

Einfach den örtlichen Kindergarten (falls vorhanden) geöffnet lassen. ^^
Ist in Wacken auch so und eigentlich keine schlechte Idee.

Ansonsten das Lineup ist wirklich sehr gelungen.
Freue mich vor allem auf Warlord, Liege Lord, Medieval Steel, October 31, Jack Starrs Burning Star und High Spirits.

Bleibtdie Frage...wer ist die letzte Band.
Spekulationen ??? Ideen ??? Hinweise ???

[tobi flintstone]

Den Vorschlag mit der Kinderbetreuung unterstütze ich! :-)
