Just read this over at MR.COM guy,s
Now, with great pleasure I present this statement from Kieran and Bruce and the Firefest Team:
MESSAGE FROM FIREFEST TEAM "First of all, once again let us thanks all those participating in what has become more than just a show, but a wonderful social event for all fans of melodic hard rock. It really has become an opportunity to meet friends and like-minded fans from all over the world, and despite all the hard work put in months in advance, is always a pleasure to see the fun and enjoyment had by not just those in the audience, but also the bands on stage. We'd also like to give a massive heart-felt thanks to Graham Hatton and Simon Trott, both true fans of the scene who dug deep into their own pockets and each donated a considerable amount of money to Firefest, enabling us to bring in all the bands we wanted – especially Tall Stories – and also go ahead with the filming for several DVD releases next year. Thanks guys!!
The reaction and response to Firefest 5 has been fantastic, so really, how could we not do another one? However, we will most likely go back to a single day and pre-show … a full weekend was just a little too much for everyone. So yeah, there will be a Firefest 6 and I hope we can all get together once again and celebrate the music that we love!
Rejoice ;D ;D ;D

It isn't cut and dried though is it? Judging by some of the posts on the MR board, some people who you'd expect to be *In the Know" didn't seem to know anything about it... I wonder what is really going on?

Thanks for the heads up on the MR drama Alison I simply don't go there anymore. If I need to hear about drama from people I really don't know/care about, get a Journey update or check on how my band is being ignored this week, I know where to go. ;D Did that sound too pissy? Sarcasm just doesn't fly right when you have to type it out... It's like having to explain a joke, if you do it then it's really not that funny

i think
Diving For Pearls Drive, She Said Bad Habit Strangeways Robin Beck
would be good bands to get, i think they may cause a stir.....
Think Gotthard would be a MAJOR draw as 2nd on the bill, but i'd like to see em touring again, suppose it depends when the new album comes out....
