Symforce

About me:

KARMAKANIC - AGENTS of MERCY - MOON SAFARI - The SEDAN VAULT - KATAYA - LONG DISTANCE CALLING - NEO-PROPHET !!! The third edition of the yearly SYMFORCE festival will be what I'd call a "light" version. Instead of using three venues and a total of twelve bands, lovers of pure symphonic rock have given us enough feedback to get back to the basics and re-think the entire original idea behind Symforce. Bearing in mind the legendary Supertramp title "Crisis? What crisis?" we have opted for an altered SYMFORCE III. This year the festival will take place on sunday 27th september in both the small venue and the BatCave at the 013 venue in Tilburg. Seven bands will perform : four in the small hall and three in the BatCave. Sadly there's also a downside to all this as we'll only have 325 tickets for sale. Presales should start may 9th so visit the official 013 website often ! The idea of SYMFORCE is to invite established bands as well as upcoming artists. Spread over various stages SYMFORCE offers a wide selection of the current progressive rock scene all in one day ! September 15th 2007 the first edition of Symforce welcomed : FLOWER KINGS (sweden) - PENDRAGON (uk) - RIVERSIDE (poland) - FOCUS (holland) - LAZULI (france) - The AURORA PROJECT (holland) - LADY LAKE (holland) - ISOPODA (belgium) - The PINEAPPLE THIEF (uk) - BEARDFISH (sweden) - BOOTCUT (sweden) August 23rd 2008 the second edition of Symforce welcomed : OPETH (sweden) - PAIN of SALVATION (sweden) - DEMIANS (france) - TEXTURES (holland) - ALQUIN (holland) - MAGIC PIE (norway) - THE WATCH (italy) - PBII (holland) - HYPNOS 69 (belgium) - SOLSTICE (england) - QUANTUM FANTAY (belgium) - KRIMINAL HAMMOND INFERNO (belgium) under the banner "Prog past, present and future" no doubt SYMFORCE will be THE event you have to visit year after year ! May the Symforce be with you !
