First special guest is original Judas Priest drummer Les Binks. He played on the albums Stained Class, Killing Machine and the legendary live album Unleashed in the East. He can also be heard on The Butterfly Ball by Roger Glover and Friends.
American David Reece, once a singer in the German band Accept with whom he recorded an album, is currently part of the band Iron Allies with former Accept guitarist Hermann Frank. The band recently performed on the main stage of Graspop.
Paul Manzi, formerly of Arena fame, currently singer of The Sweet, should always be part of the Rock Party of the Year and is certainly very popular in the Boerderij. That is why he is coming over from London again.
We know singer Wudstik from Ayreon and he is currently touring the country with an awesome Dream Theater show.
Lain Barbier is known as the singer of the band Turbo. This charismatic and powerful singer fits perfectly with the line-up of Rock Party of the Year.
Polle Eduard was the guitarist in the band After Tea, a restart of Tee-Set and the Hans Vermeulen Band. Of course everyone knows his hit "Ik wil jou," and of course you can all sing along.
Pascal Remans has made himself popular with his rendition of Judas Priest and Queensrÿche songs. He is also back, together with Lilianne Bok, who will once again turn the place upside down with her powerful voice.
Robert Soeterboek, Irene Jansen and Jane Goulding are the regular vocalists of Rock Party of the Year. Accompanied by the band, consisting of guitarist Marcel Singor, bassist Joris Lindner, drummer Dirk Bruinenberg and keyboardists Jeffrey Revet and Willem Hoving, this edition promises to be an even bigger show.
And it would be very unlike Robert if he didn't manage to conjure up a special guest.
