Hard Rock Hell is back at Prestatyn

Nov 4 2010 by Joel Garner, North Wales Weekly News

THIS December the mega successful Hard Rock Hell festival returns to Prestatyn.

With weekend accommodation tickets completely sold out six months before the event, the Weekly News has five pairs of day tickets for Friday and Saturday to give away.

Run in conjunction with Metal Hammer and Classic Rock (two of the world's biggest selling music journals) this year features the likes of Aussie favourites Airbourne, with other performances from Uriah Heep, LA Guns, Diamond Head and Paul Di'anno playing the first two Iron Maiden albums, as well as the UK's own multi-million selling Saxon.

The star attractions will no doubt be American rockers Skid Row who clocked up numerous hits in the 1980s and 90s with anthems such as Youth Gone Wild, 18 and Life and Monkey Business.

The theme for the event is Pirates of Prestatyn, so bring your cutlass and eye patch and expect plenty of fancy dress madness to accompany the music.

The camaraderie between the fans is always second to none, with fans travelling from as far as Scotland and even Europe to be part of it.

To be in with a chance of winning, answer the following question and send your answer, name, address, daytime phone number and age to: Joel's Hard Rock Competition, Weekly News, Vale Road Llandudno Junction, LL31 9SL, or e-mail the same to joel.garner@northwalesnews.co.uk by November 11.
