Concerto Moon confirmed for Friday!!!

BARfest · May 16th, 2008, 05:15 PM

Concerto Moon from Japan is confirmed for their first US appearance at the 2nd annual Bay Area Rock Festival. Led by guitar maestro Norifumi Shima, the group is celebrating their 10th anniversary as the leading hard rock band of Japan by releasing a new studio album and a CD/DVD retrospective. Concerto Moon’s unique compositional style and fluid guitar arrangements has led them to opening act slots for Yngwie Malmsteen and Symphony X, while headlining numerous shows in their native country.

Bay Area Rock Festival is a two day annual festival which features progressive and melodic rock and metal from around the world. The festival will be held this year on June 27th and 28th at the Independent in San Francisco and features Liquid Tension Experiment, Jeff Scott Soto, Enchant, Zero Hour, Sun Caged and the Rocket Scientists with special guest Lana Lane. Tickets are available through www.tickets.com. For more information, visit www.bayarearockfest.com

Japanese version of Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force, sounds good to me!

BTW, if anyone here hasn't seen Yngwie's Millenium Concerto Suite live in Japan, just do it!

How long is Concerto Moon's set? I can't believe that they are the opening act, and not going on right before Soto.

Concerto Moon is the opening act to get things started with a bang.
They are going to have an unbelievable 45 minute set.
The reason for this decision was that the Rocket Scientists are more prog-rock and not quite as energetic/metal in their delivery.
Enchant is the home town hero so nuff said there.
I hope that clears it up for you. I'm very excited to see CM live and have been waiting for 10 years.

Cheers!

It should tell you of the strength of this festival. CM was the logical choice to open. I just hope there is a BARFest III.

Fuseboxx and Seraphim anyone? Even Galneryus?
