Music Live - the UK's favourite music-making event - celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2009 by teaming up with the country's premier independent rock and metal festival, Hellfire this 6-8 November at Birmingham's NEC. Designed to both educate and inspire visitors in their musical endeavours (however serious), Music Live annually showcases the world's biggest guitar, amplification, drum and music production brands from Fender and Gibson to Roland and Yamaha. Seminar content regularly covers topics as diverse as making a career in the music industry and recording the perfect demo.
The joining of forces means visitors will be able to enjoy the massive Music Live equipment exhibition and Live Stage during the day, with Hellfire taking over the live area each evening to create an anticipated audience of over 30,000 attendees. A total of four stages will play host to around 100 live performances throughout the weekend; joint tickets for both events will be available at discounted rates.
The inaugural Hellfire Festival, held at the Islington Academy in February 2009, enjoyed sell out crowds and boasted a line-up including Exodus, Overkill, Firewind, Breed 77, Sabbat and Warrior Soul to name but a few. With a reputation for featuring both breaking bands and established acts, Hellfire is at the forefront of the Rock and Metal scene. And with previous Music Live stars-in-attendance including Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Kerry King (Slayer), Matt Tuck (Bullet For My Valentine), Duff McKagan (Velvet Revolver) and Rick Parfitt (Status Quo), visitors to this year's 'crossover' event will be treated to more exciting live shows and big-name meet-and-greet sessions than ever.
Music Live show manager Jason Hunt said, "We're delighted to welcome Hellfire on board in 2009. With metal the traditional material for 10th anniversary gifts, Hellfire is the perfect partner for our birthday celebrations."
Hellfire's Rob Ferguson said, "We bring a complementary package to Music Live making this our most exciting project to date. Expect a killer line-up and a festival which positively encourages all interested and likeminded parties to make contact and come on board."
The stars of both Music Live and Hellfire II will be announced in due course. In the meantime, more information on the events can be found at www.musiclive.co.uk and www.hellfirefestival.com

£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!
Any chance of letting us know with all the changes this week where the festival is actually being held? Is it at the LG Arena or in one of the smaller numbered halls around the complex? I'm just wondering since the festival is now going on whilst the Music Live event is on rather than after its finished each day. Would be good to know before I turn up on Saturday. Cheers
