Press Release: Lillehammer Classic Rock festival 25-26-27-28 May

The first edition of Lillehammer Classic Rock festival in 2005 was a huge success for the arrangers. Full houses and top musical presentations made the festival a wonderful weekend for supporters of classic rock.

The 2006 edition will be extended to three days beyond Thursday 25 May (Ascension Day, a holiday). Another new thing in 2006 will be the daytime program in Lillehammer centre by the 'Mølla' hotel. The name will be 'Mølla City Stage'.

The second edition of Lillehammer Classic Rock festival starts to get in shape, and most of what happens up at the Radisson SAS Lillehammer hotel is ready. Bands that dominated the rock history from the 60s to today will visit Lillehammer during these May days.
