News: GIANTS OF ROCK – Minehead, UK, 6-8 February 2015

Giants Of Rock - Minehead, 6-8 February 2015

Following the outstanding response from both guests and artists alike, GIANTS OF ROCK now sits proudly alongside The Great British Folk, Great British Alternative and Great British Rock & Blues Festivals – part of Butlins’ massively-successful and growing reputation for the very best music married to the perfect accommodation and dining package.

Featured bands include BLACK STAR RIDERS and FAMILY – still featuring the truly unique voice of ROGER CHAPMAN who also appears with The Shortlist.  Just as rare and as much anticipated are performances from MANFRED MANN’S EARTHBAND and COLOSSEUM.

SLADE and fellow Midlanders MAGNUM are joined by Dutch prog pioneers FOCUS and THE ENID.

Bands also appearing include EDDIE & THE HOT RODS, THE QUIREBOYS, MICK RALPHS BAND, DEBORAH BONHAM, BERNIE MARSDEN, THE YARDBIRDS, JOHN VERITY, DEL BROMHAM of Stray and his JOHNNY WINTER EXPERIENCE
