Firefest 2024 - The Fireworks Rock & Metal Magazine Festival - Day 1 Teaser

FIREFEST 2024 - Bringing you the best over three fantastic days!
October 11th - 13th 2024
Manchester Academy - United Kingdom
Friday lineup:
HEAVY PETTIN'
When Heavy Pettin' burst onto the scene from Glasgow, back in 1981, they were quickly labelled at Scotland's answer to Def Leppard. Influenced by the likes of AC/DC, UFO, Thin Lizzy and Foreigner, their debut album was produced by Mack and Queen guitarist Brian May. Releasing 3 studio albums, their last, 'Big Bang' in 1989, was a Melodic Rock masterpiece. Now back 25 years later, the boys are proud to be headlining the Friday night at Firefest.
CONEY HATCH
Canadians Coney Hatch formed back in 1981, releasing a fantastic trio of albums back in the 80s, with their 4th coiming out in 2013. Built around the fantastic vocals of Carl Dixon and Andy Curran, the boys have previously played amazing sets at Firefest. This time will be different though, as for the first time the band will be playing their Melodic Rock classic 'Friction' in its entirety (as well as other fan favourites)!
LIONHEART
Lionheart are definitely a band just steeped in British Hard Rock history. Formed in 1980, the current line-up include Dennis Stratton (ex Iron Maiden), Steve Mann (Liar/MSG), Rocky Newton (Wildfire), Lee Small (Shy) and (ex UFO/Wild Horses). Having just released their latest cracking album 'The Grace of a Dragonfly', the boys make a very rare UK appearance at FIREFEST 2024!
GRAHAM OLIVER'S ARMY
Graham Oliver handled guitar duties for Saxon up intil 'Dogs of War' in 1994. Though having left the band, Graham is dedicated to keeping alive those early albums and one can be guaranteed a night of superb Saxon classics, played by the guy who was there!
