Girlschool have been added to the bill for Hard Rock Hell 8, which takes place Noovember 13-16 at Camp HRH, Pwllheli, Gwynedd, North Wales.
It’s the second time the band have played the festival, where they’ll join a line-up already featuring Blue Oyster Cult, Queensryche, Krokus, Michael Shenker (Temple of Rock), Y & T, Big Elf, Lizzy Borden, Truckfighters, Vardis, Diamond Head and many more.
“It was a long time ago when I first met the girls while touring with Motorhead”, says HRH founder Jonni Davis, “and don’t think I’ve ever heard a female band play at that level of sound. To be honest, I’ve not heard it at that level since. I can’t wait.”
