YOUNG UK HARD ROCKERS FAHRAN SET
TO IMPRESS AT DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL AND BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR
Energetic young melodic hard rock
upstarts FAHRAN have confirmed they are gearing up for appearances at two
of the UK’s most prestigious rock and metal festivals this summer: Download
Festival and Bloodstock Open Air.
As well as appearing on Download
Festival’s Jägermeister stage on Saturday
15th June, the Derby-based five-piece
are honored to have been awarded the headline slot on the influential New
Blood stage at Bloodstock Open Air on Friday
9th August.
Lead guitarist Jake
Graham comments:
“Being confirmed for both festivals
in the same year is just amazing, it’s still taking time to sink in! We all
can't wait to get out there and show the crowd Fahran's live show, especially
when we headline the New Blood stage at BOA.”
The news comes after a busy year
for FAHRAN during which they have released self-titled debut album
‘FAHRAN’ after just six months of the band being formed to critical
acclaim from rock press worldwide. Their impressive debut offering won them
tour supports with UK rock troubadours Heaven’s Basement and
ex-Dragonforce vocalist ZP Theart’s new project I AM I, as
well as a prolific slot at BT London Live in Hyde Park as part of the
London 2012 celebrations.
The band are currently in the studio
writing and recording their second album and look forward to headlining
the Fethiye Rocks Festival in Turkey at the end of May before returning
to their native UK to continue their summer of festival appearances.
To mark the occasion, the band are
offering fans the chance to win a pair VIP day tickets to Download Festival on
Saturday 15th June.
“We want to give something back to
all the great people who have supported us this year, and what better way than
to offer fans the chance to come and join in the fun with us at Download this
year?” explains Fahran guitarist Chris Byrne.
