Roy Khan is headlining next year’s Brainstorm Festival. The Norwegian singer and former frontman of Kamelot is coming to Apeldoorn with his special ‘The Black Halo and Beyond’ show. In addition to Roy Khan’s comeback, Brainstorm Festival is celebrating with Sirenia. The Norwegian gothic-metal band has been around for 25 years and is giving a special anniversary show. The English 80’s hardrock band Wytch Hazel has also been confirmed.
The confirmation of Roy Khan can be called special. After his departure from Kamelot in 2011, one of the best voices within the melodic metal scene faded into the background. The singer converted to christianity, became a youth worker in a religious community and was only seen on the stage of churches. His return to the metalscene proves that he never left and his show will feature hits from Kamelot and new work.
Sirenia is not an unknown name for visitors of Brainstorm Festival, as the band was already headlining the festival in 2019. This time the gothic-metal band will close the Friday-evening and it promises to be a huge party: the band is celebrating its 25th anniversary! Old hits and new songs will alternate.
There will be even more joy, as Wytch Hazel is also returning to Apeldoorn. The English 80’s hardrock band has a fabulous career and has become a welcome guest at international festivals. In 2022, Wytch Hazel already performed at Brainstorm Festival, and their latest album ‘V: Lamentations’ gave the final push to bring this great band back to Apeldoorn.
Brainstorm Festival will be held on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 November at Podium Gigant in Apeldoorn. In addition to performances on the mainstage, acoustic performances, interviews and clinics take place in our theater hall. The festival also offers an exhibition, beer tasting sessions and a small metal market. Special Brainstorm-burgers are served in Gigant’s café, so that not only the musical hunger is satisfied.
Early Bird Tickets are still available for purchase until Wednesday 24 December at 16.00 hour, which provide access to the entire festival against an attractive price. After that, regular sales of combination tickets and 18-min tickets will start. The sales of day-tickets will follow later.
