The artists
Led Zeppelin’s headline grabbing show at the O2 last December saw Jason Bonham step into the biggest drum seat in the world. Drummer Live are proud to announce his first ever appearance at a drum festival. Joining Jason in this year’s line-up is Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who, while not new to drum festivals, is always guaranteed entertainment.

With over 30 million albums sold, Korn continue to attract vast audiences, so it is a special honour to welcome their drummer Ray Luzier to play Drummer Live. Staying with the Metal genre, metal drumming genius, Roy Mayorga (Stone Sour) will be playing as well as Pete Ray Biggin from the über-cool Mark Ronson band. Other artists confirmed to play are Prog rock supremo Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree) and master of jazz/funk Derico Watson (Victor Wooten) with further major artists to be announced shortly.
