Info Evento
Dopo una pausa di sei anni, Frontiers Music Srl è lieta di annunciare l’attesissimo ritorno del Frontiers Rock Festival, che si terrà il 25, 26 e 27 aprile 2025 al Live Club di Trezzo sull’Adda (Milano).
Il festival ospiterà un totale di 21 band in tre giorni: un’esperienza imperdibile per tutti gli appassionati di melodic rock/hard rock, offrendo pacchetti VIP experience e molte altre sorprese che saranno svelate presto.
Line up in continuo aggiornamento:
1) WINGER:
Fondati dal bassista/cantante Kip Winger, i WINGER sono stati – e sono tuttora – una delle forze trainanti della scena hard rock statunitense a partire dagli anni ’80.
L’anno scorso hanno pubblicato il loro settimo album in studio, appunto intitolato “Seven“, caratterizzato dalla loro solita incredibile abilità strumentale e vocale al servizio di superbe canzoni hard-rock e con un senso della melodia davvero unico.
Lo show al Frontiers Rock Festival sarà l’ultimo di sempre in Italia e vedrà la partecipazione di tutti i membri della formazione originale (Winger, Beach, Morgenstein, Taylor).
2) PRIDE OF LIONS:
Tra le migliori band dell’intera scena melodic rock / AOR internazionale, i PRIDE OF LIONS sono guidati dal leggendario songwriter e chitarrista/tastierista Jim Peterik (co-fondatore dei THE IDES OF MARCH, autore per 38 SPECIAL e SAMMY HAGAR tra gli altri e membro dei SURVIVOR per molti anni), con il talentuoso singer Toby Hitchcock.
Il sound dei PRIDE OF LIONS miscela i migliori elementi del grande melodic rock anni ’80 con una produzione aggiornata ed al passo con i tempi. Classe pura, melodie indimenticabili e hit immortali: non perdeteli per nessuna ragione!
3) BONFIRE:
Se parliamo di band tedesche degli anni ’80 provenienti dalla Germania, i BONFIRE sono sicuramente uno tra i primi nomi da menzionare nel genere hard rock / heavy metal!
Fondati e guidati dal chitarrista Hans Ziller, la band ha realizzato ben 17 studio-album nel corso della propria lunga carriera ed ha un nuovo full-length in rampa di lancio (potete già ascoltare il singolo “I Died Tonight” sulle piattaforme digitali). I BONFIRE sono pronti a regalarci uno show fatto di grandi canzoni (classici e novità), contagiose melodie e chitarre graffianti!
4) RONNIE ROMERO:
La sua carismatica e potente voce ha portato Ronnie Romero a diventare uno tra i frontmen più stimati dell’intera scena hard rock e melodic metal internazionale, viste le sue esperienze con artisti e band come RITCHIE BLACKMORE’S RAINBOW, MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP, LORDS OF BLACK, THE FERRYMEN, SUNSTORM, VANDENBERG, GOTUS ed ELEGANT WEAPONS (con il chitarrista dei JUDAS PRIEST, Richie Faulkner).
Romero ha anche iniziato una carriera solista, che lo ha visto realizzare già tre studio-album in breve tempo per Frontiers Records. Avendo suonato nei principali festival metal in giro per il mondo e calcato centinaia di palchi, Romero ha maturato una incredibile esperienza e padronanza live.
5) CHEZ KANE:
La talentuosa ed affascinante singer britannica Chez Kane ha guidato per anni, assieme alle due sorelle, la pop-band KANE’D. La svolta rock è arrivata grazie a Danny Rexon dei CRAZY LIXX, che ha visto in lei la potenziale erede delle più famose hard-rock singers degli ‘80s, come Lee Aaron, Lita Ford, Sandy Saraya o Robin Beck.
Con il debut-album del 2021 ed il seguente “Powerzone” del 2022, Chez Kane è riuscita a convincere i fan del melodic rock, con il suo stile immediato e contagiosamente melodico.
I suoi live-show sono sempre una grande festa, un inno alla vita ed al divertimento, tra cori sfacciatamente melodici ed arrangiamenti ottantiani.
6) GIRISH & THE CHRONICLES:
Provenienti dall’India, i GIRISH AND THE CHRONICLES, con tre studio-album e tanti concerti sia in madre-patria che in Europa all’attivo, stanno portando la loro miscela esplosiva di ‘80s heavy metal/hard rock in giro per il mondo. E lo fanno al top.
Il singer Girish Pradhan è l’indiscussa forza motrice, ma è comunque l’intera band a mostrare forza e classe, energia e compattezza.
7) FANS OF THE DARK:
Provenienti da Stoccolma, Svezia, e messi insieme dal batterista/compositore Freddie Allen e dal cantante Alex Falk nell’estate del 2020, hanno pubblicato tre album in studio più un EP negli ultimi quattro anni.
Classic melodic rock, heavy metal anni ’80, cavalcate epiche ed arrangiamenti stellari… il loro sound è davvero unico. Dal vivo porteranno la loro dose di genialità ed inventiva.
8) HAREM SCAREM
Con i loro primi due album, Harem Scarem (1991) e Mood Swings (1993), che li hanno catapultati all'attenzione mondiale, gli Harem Scarem hanno sempre offerto musica di alta qualità. Le uscite recenti, come Thirteen, United e Change the World, sono la prova della loro costante eccellenza. Tour dopo tour, hanno costruito una base di fan fedeli e appassionati, e il loro prossimo spettacolo promette niente di meno che una musicalità stellare e un'energia indimenticabile.
9) MIKE TRAMP’S WHITE LION
Mike Tramp ha raggiunto la fama con i White Lion nel 1983, ottenendo un successo globale con quattro album iconici prima che la band si sciogliesse nel 1992. Dopo un periodo con i Freak of Nature, ha lanciato una carriera da solista nel 1997 e da allora ha pubblicato nove album in studio, esibendosi sia da solo che con una band.
Ora, Tramp reimmagina i classici dei White Lion, offrendo un emozionante viaggio dal vivo attraverso i successi degli anni '80 e '90!
10) STORAGE
After 40 years with Krokus, Marc Storace returned in 2021 with his solo album Live and Let Live. Since 2022, he's performed with his new band and crafted Crossfire, a powerhouse Hard Rock album co-written with Tommy Henriksen (Alice Cooper) and Pat Aeby (Krokus). With over 15 million records sold and countless awards, Storace is ready to bring his music to fans worldwide once again!
11) TREAT
Building on the success of their post-reunion albums—Coup de Grace (2010), Ghost of Graceland (2016), Tunguska (2018), and The Endgame (2022)— Treat remains one of Europe's top Melodic Hard Rock bands and a standout live act. Their masterful arrangements and top-tier songwriting have solidified their place as fan favorites in the genre
12) FM
FM, known for their big choruses, twin guitars, and Steve Overland's powerful vocals, are celebrating 40 years of pure melodic rock! Formed in 1984 by Overland, his brother Chris, Pete Jupp, and Merv Goldsworthy, the band marks the milestone with their 14th studio album, Old Habits Die Hard, and an extensive tour across the UK, Europe, and South America. FM means class, musicianship, and unforgettable music!
13) ORIGINAL ASIA
In 1982 John Wetton, Geoff Downes, Carl Palmer and Steve Howe became the founding fathers of super group Asia, responsible for a string of multi-million selling albums and chart- topping hits across the globe. Asia’s self-titled1982 debut album was the biggest selling album in the world powered by the classic rock anthem “Heat Of The Moment”, along with other timeless hits. Another multi-million seller, “Alpha” followed in 1983 and in 1986 “Astra” completed the trio of MTV era hits.
In 2006, the founder members reformed and released several new albums before John Wetton’s untimely passing in 2017. After some tours in the USA with different musicians, in the Summer of 2023, Geoff Downes spear-headed a memorial concert to celebrate the life of John Wetton. At the concert, he invited rock n roll veteran John Mitchell - who had played with both Wetton and Downes in Icon and in Wetton’s own band - to join him on stage, taking on lead guitar duties. The duo was joined by new-comer Harry Whitley, who Downes had discovered and whose vocal talents so closely resembled that of Wetton’s. It was nothing short of spine-tingling. So it was that Geoff made the decision to take a fresh, new-look Asia back out on the road, recruiting Mitchell and Whitley as new members and bringing in the drumming excellence of Virgil Donati.
14) THE BIG DEAL
Hailing from Serbia, The Big Deal stands out in melodic hard rock with two exceptional vocalists, Ana Nikolic and Nevena Brankovic, who also shines on keyboards. The band is lead by The Big Deal's main composer/ producer, Srdjan Brankovic. With a catchy, powerful sound and explosive stage presence, they’re excited to play for you at the Frontiers Rock Festival with a set featuring tracks from their upcoming album, Electrified!
15) CASSIDY PARIS
At just 22, Australian rocker Cassidy Paris has already released two sold-out EPs (Broken Hearted & Flirt), her debut album New Sensation, and performed worldwide, including the U.S., U.K., and Japan. Inspired by icons like Lzzy Hale and Joan Jett, she honed her style with Paul Laine (Danger Danger) from age 11. Now, she's ready to rock Italy for the first time!
16) SEVENTH CRYSTAL
Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, Seventh Crystal showcase a diverse range of musical expressions, drawing inspiration from a variety of genres, from soft melodic rock to hard-hitting Heavy Metal going through progressive and classic Rock.
Their new studio album, “Entity”, follows the path of their previous “Delirium” of 2021 and “Wonderland” of 2023, putting - this time - a stronger accent on the heavy guitar-parts and on the constructions of the songs.
Seventh Crystal are ready to bring on stage their exciting and authentic melodic rock formula!
17) HONEYMOON SUITE
Originally formed during 1981 in Niagara Falls, Ontario, by lead vocalist/guitarist Johnnie Dee, soon joined by lead guitarist, Derry Grehan, the five-piece act released a total of seven studio albums since their debut-release in 1983, with over 1 million units sold worldwide.
The band won numerous awards, including a Canadian Juno for “group of year” in 1986, triple platinum sales in Canada with the first 3 albums, and platinum sales for the greatest hits cd “The Singles”, released in 1989. Their latest studio album, “Alive”, has been produced by the notable fellow Canadian Mike Krompass, and the result brings back the trademark sound of the band, with powerful vocals and memorable guitar-riffs.
Honeymoon Suite have toured extensively in the US, Canada and Europe with acts such as ZZ Top, Heart, Billy Idol, Journey, Bryan Adams, Saga, Loverboy, Jethro Tull and .38 Special. They are really excited to play in Italy for the very first time in their long career, presenting the best of their career with some new tunes thrown into, for a great set!
18) SHAKRA
With 13 studio-albums (!), 2 live albums, one ballads compilation and a few successes that hit the German and Swiss album charts - during their 30 years-career - Shakra is considered one of the most consistent acts in the current Swiss Hard-Rock scene, thanks to their music style based on powerful guitar riffs, catchy hooks and a solid rhythm section.
But it’s the stage that is their home, as they played countless European shows (including a a 12-countries tour with Hammerfall and Stratovarius) as well as many Metal and Hard-Rock festivals (including the prestigious “Bang Your Head” and “Spirit Of Rock”). They also opened for Rock-giants like Iron Maiden, Uriah Heep and Guns n’ Roses.
An experienced, powerful and super solid live band that will definitely put the “Frontiers Rock Festival” stage on fire!!
19) ART NATION
Led by main-man and vocalist Alexander Strandell, Art Nation got back on track after a 4 year hiatus, a complicated and difficult period due to line up issues. And the latest album, “Inception”, is a clear proof of how the band has re-established that great musical spirit and chemistry that launched them years ago!
Alexander Strandell, guitarist Christoffer Borg, and bassist Richard Svärd deliver a strong and powerful musical statement in their classic style made of huge and anthemic hooks mixed with European Metal influences.
After dozens and dozens of shows on some of the biggest stages in Sweden, after having played at the legendary “Sweden Rock Festival” and after having walked the red carpet of the “Grammy Awards”, Art Nation are back and better than ever!
