Festival News: Spaceship Hawkwind To Land At NEARfest 2007

Posted on Monday, December 18 @ 06:58:27 UTC by nightowl

NEARfest is very excited to announce the legendary British space rock collective Hawkwind as our first headline act for our ninth annual festival. Led by guitarist, keyboardist and vocalist Dave Brock, Hawkwind has earned world-wide renown for their 36-year musical mission to explore inner and outer space. From their genre-defining classic albums Space Ritual, Hall Of The Mountain Grill, and Warrior At The Edge Of Time to their brand new recording Take Me To Your Leader, the band has coursed through the cosmos with their progressive hard rock guitar and keyboard-led attack, sci-fi themed lyrics, and memorable songs.



Hawkwind has always shined most in a live setting through the decades, with improvisatory excursions intermingling with visual imagery and interpretive dancing to provide immersive multi-media sensory experiences for audiences around the world. Be sure not to miss this rare Stateside landing of spaceship Hawkwind on the Saturday slate at NEARfest 2007!
