Two new acts for Brainstorm Festival 2014 are added to this years line-up: La Ventura (NL) and Premnath (NL). La Ventura plays melodic metal with a lady behind the microphone, such a band was still missing on the coming edition. The second one is Premnath (keyboard player of Slechtvalk) he plays melancholic, dark piano music. Just a break between all the metal violence!

This year the festival will be held on Saturday November 8, as usual in the Gigant, Apeldoorn, the Netherlands. As an experiment, this year the festival is only one day instead of two.
Brainstorm Festival was formed in the beginning of 2008 with a clear mission to enter a new era of music festivals as we know it. Brainstorm Festival is known as an independent cultural rock- and metalfestival, that provides a stage to both new talent as well as metal-dinosaurs. The festival combines hardrock with extreme metal. Besides concerts Brainstorm Festival offers a program in the theater of the club with acoustic performances, interviews, debate and competitions. Also there is an exposition taking place each year, plus a small metal-market.
