Trans-Siberian Orchestra und Savatage Special Show
Liebe Metalheads,
ihr habt euch sicherlich schon länger gefragt, was es mit den Shows von TSO und Savatage am Donnerstag auf sich hat. Nun, wie ihr sicherlich anhand der Running Order bemerkt habt, werden Savatage um 21:45 Uhr auf der Black Stage und TSO ebenfalls um 21:45 Uhr auf der True Metal Stage spielen. Das ist aber kein schnöder Druckfehler sondern in der Tat so gewollt!
Am Donnerstag den 30.07.2015 schicken sich die Ausnahmemusiker an, nicht weniger als Festivalgeschichte (und vielleicht sogar Musikgeschichte) zu schreiben! Für jeden, der jetzt Angst hat etwas von einer der beiden Bands zu verpassen, können wir aber Entwarnung geben.
Allzu viel mehr können und wollen wir euch wiederum auch nicht verraten - nur so viel sei gesagt: TSO und Savatage, welche größtenteils aus den selben Bandmitgliedern bestehen, proben derzeit zusammen fleißig für eine Show, die es so in dieser Form noch nicht in der Musikgeschichte gegeben hat. Die Bands haben uns einige coole Fotos aus dem Proberaum als auch eine Botschaft an ihre Fans geschickt, welche wir euch nicht weiter vorenthalten wollen.
Hier das Statement:
To All Our Friends,
“The moment is now
In all history
The time has arrived
And this is the one place to be!”
To say that all of us are feeling surreally excited about the rapidly approaching concert on July 30th, at Wacken is a massive understatement. The closest we can come to describing it, is a family reunion, with over 75,000 of our friends, in the epicenter of the Metal World. In a world that is currently exhausted by non-stop reports of uncertainty and divisiveness, Wacken Open Air Festival, stands as a living, breathing testament of inclusiveness and hope. We all get to reconnect, meet old friends and make new ones.
Everyone at this festival is united by the common language of Heavy Metal and all its variations. Metal is a unique phenomenon, whose power to unite and persevere has long been underestimated. It currently bridges all nationalities, occupations, and most impressively, generations.
All of us in Trans Siberian Orchestra and Savatage cannot believe the luck that has given us the opportunity to take a break from recording the new album Letters From The Labyrinth, so that we can meet up in Wacken, Germany and together, look back at how we got here, as well as forward to possibly catch a glimpse of what might be. This is a once in a lifetime show for Savatage & TSO that we hope you will never forget.
On a final note, we are fascinated by the power that allows this night to happen year after year. It has nothing to do with electricity, pyro, or speaker wattage. It is a force far more powerful, but is subtly hidden in the name, "Wacken Open Air Festival." The multiple day concert is possible in the "Open Air," because tens of thousands of people, from all over the world, can set up tents, share food, and go to sleep without locked doors or windows. This is because there is an overwhelming feeling of trust.
In this environment, all can relax, and the night will be free to weave magic both old and new.
See you at the show,
Savatage & TSO
