DREAM THEATER To Play First U.K. Show Without MIKE PORTNOY At HIGH VOLTAGE Festival

December 7, 2010

DREAM THEATER and JUDAS PRIEST will headline next year's edition of Classic Rock magazine's award-winning High Voltage festival, set to take place Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24, 2011 in Victoria Park, London, England.

Progressive metal titans DREAM THEATER will headline the main stage on July 24. High Voltage 2011 will mark the first U.K. performance of the band's new lineup following the departure of drummer and founding member Mike Portnoy.

Ace Café London will return to High Voltage in 2011 with a bigger, bolder area offering drinks, food and generous seating, all set within the surroundings of the historic Ace Café London experience.

The True Evel Exhibition will be dedicated to Evel Knievel, the original motorcycle daredevil. On display will be Evel's original motorcycles, jump leathers, personal memorabilia and more.

Like last year's inaugural festival featuring ZZ TOP and EMERSON LAKE & PALMER, High Voltage 2011 will be custom-built by rock fans for rock fans.

The facilities will be second to none: great food, proper beer, clean toilets, deluxe hospitality packages, designated hotels, free shuttle transport. This is somewhere you can take the whole family.

Only High Voltage gives ticket buyers the freedom to design their own bespoke festival package — which can include accommodation, transport, parking and VIP bar access.

Tickets are priced £99 (for weekend tickets) and £56.50 (for day tickets). VIP tickets will be available at £105 for the day and £199 for the weekend. There will also be various VIP and hotel packages available, at varying price levels to suit. There is no booking fee for tickets.

Tickets are available from www.highvoltagefestival.com or 24hr cc ticketline 0871 230 5582.
