Festival lineups are always full of unknowns and randoms, and we love that of course! But sometimes it helps to have a bit of background, so heres a few bands you might not have realised who/what they are!..

  • Last In Line

Formed of the members from the original Dio band, which comprised of bassist Jimmy Bain (Rainbow/Phil Lynott), guitarist Vivian Campbell (Whitesnake/Def Leppard), drummer Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath/Heaven And Hell) and keyboardist Claude Schnell (Y&T/Doro). The lineup was completed with singer Andrew Freeman with current members being bassist Phil Soussan (Ozzy Osbourne/Billy Idol/Steve Lukather) and keyboardist Erik Norlander.

 

 

  • Bad Wolves

Here’s a gooden! Vocalist Tommy Vext (Devine Heresy/snot), guitarist Doc Coyle (God Forbid), guitarist Chris Cain (Bury Your Dead), bassist Kyle Konkiel (In This Moment/Scar The Martyr) and drummer John Boecklin (DevilDriver), wow! They rose to fame last year with a cover of The Cranberries ‘Zombie’.
