Saturday 25th July
will see the following Main Stage additions (with more still to be announced)
Dream Theater (UK Exclusive Show) are masters of
progressive metal and one of the most acclaimed and successful bands of modern
times, with more than 12 million album sold in their career. Their appearance
at Ramblin’ Man Fair is a UK exclusive.
Saxon are a truly
legendary British heavy metal band – hailed by Metallica as one of their
biggest influences. In the early 80s, Saxon made their name with era-defining
albums such as Wheels Of Steel and Denim And Leather. Three decades on, they’re
still delivering pure heavy metal thunder, with a new studio album expected
soon.
“We are excited
about playing our only festival show in the UK this year. It will be the
last show of the 35th anniversary tour so make sure you bring your denim and
leather.”
– Biff Byford, Saxon.
Blue Oyster Cult
are among the most enigmatic and influential American rock bands of all time,
their mythic status sealed by seminal albums such as Secret Treaties and Agents
Of Fortune – the latter featuring the smash hit and classic rock anthem (Don’t
Fear) The Reaper. The band’s current line-up is still led by two of the
dominant figures in BOC’s history: frontman Eric Bloom and guitar hero Donald
‘Buck Dharma’ Roeser.
FM have been
described by Classic Rock magazine as the best melodic rock band ever to come
out of the UK. Now, more than 30 years after their classic debut album
Indiscreet, the new FM album Heroes & Villains proves they’re still at the
very top of their game.
No Hot Ashes are
one of the bands that formed part of Belfast's epic 80's rock scene. The
beginning of 2014 saw them supporting the likes of Foreigner, FM and UFO. They
are now bringing their music to the main stage at Ramblin Man Fair to put on
one hell of a show
More acts for all stages are set
to be announced soon…
Ramblin’ Man Fair is set to
become the must see event for discerning festival goers. A quality musical line
