The Azkena Rock has announced its second round of groups for the next edition of the Vitoria festival (Basque Country, north of Spain). Among the advertised artists highlights the return of the Norwegians Gluecifer after 12 years apart. The other groups announced are: Turbonegro, Man Or Astro-Man?, Thee Hypnotics, Lords Of Altamont and Mamagigi's.

The Norwegian hard rock group, creator of an album as recognized as 'Soaring With The Eagles At Night, To Rise With The Pigs In The Morning', was dissolved in 2005. The group is formed by the singer Biff Malibu, the guitarists Captain Poon and Raldo Useless, and drummer Danny Young. The Azkena Rock will be the only festival to perform in 2018 and will be accompanied by the Scandinavian Turbonegro.

Surf rock will come from Man or Astro-Man ?; the garage, by the hand of Thee Hypnotics and punk-rock, with Lords of Altamont.

In the image published by the festival on its website Ty Segall also appeared although later this poster has been removed, according to the newspaper 'Gasteiz Hoy'.

-----------------------------------

The response of Azkena Rock to the avalanche of criticism received in its forums and social networks by the fact that no woman stepped on its stages in the 2017 edition could be the confirmation of the mythical Joan Jett & The Blackhearts as its first headliner for the next edition of 2018.

The festival will be held on June 22 and 23, 2018 in the Mendizabal campus of Vitoria-Gasteiz.

The presence of Sol Lagarto, The Dream Syndicate, The Allnighters and Tutan Come On groups has also been confirmed. At the end of the last edition, the performance for the 2018 edition of The Beasts of Bourbon band was confirmed.
