According to a press release, Harnell's set "will be a 'best of' from his long and successful career with TNT, WESTWORLD and much more."

Commented Tony: "As some of you may know, I was forced to cancel my appearance at Firefest this year due to an illness in my family. It's great that Mark and Z Rock gave me the opportunity to come back next year and make it up to my English fans. I can't wait!"

Tony Harnell recently made high-quality demo versions of six solo tracks available for purchase via his official web site. Entitled "Cinematic" and recorded in Sweden for his upcoming solo album between 2006 and 2007, three of the songs on the CD were previously featured on MySpace, including the fan favorite "The Show". According to a posting on the site, "not all of the great songs featured here will end up on the finished album so this is your chance to own something very special and be a part of the creative process."

STARBREAKER — the band featuring Tony Harnell, Magnus Karlsson (ALLEN LANDE, PRIMAL FEAR) and John Macaluso (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, TNT, ARK) — its sophomore album, entitled "Love's Dying Wish", in North America on November 18 through Blistering/Ryko.

Released in Europe on August 1 via Frontiers Records, the follow-up to the group's 2005 self-titled debut was written and produced by Harnell and Karlsson and was mixed by respected producer Tommy Hansen (TNT, JORN).
