Blind Guardian will be guests at this year's Earthshaker Fest. Due to release their new album "A Twist In The Myth" in the fall (on September 1, 2006), some of the band's new songs will be premiered over the PA for everyone in attendance to hear. The band will also be holding an autograph session on Friday night; more details will be announced soon.

In any case, it is confirmed that there will be a massive giveaway for the fans in attendance:

1st Prize - a Meet & Greet session for 10 people with Blind Guardian at the Earthshaker Fest 2006. The winner will receive a big fan package containing a CD, DVD, shirt and a commemorative photo with the band.

2nd Prize - 20 people will have the chance to participate in soccer goal target practice against Blind Guardian. Each person who wins against Blind Guardian will receive a special Earthshaker package that includes a t-shirt, poster and CD sampler.

To win, visit the Earthshaker Festival website (http://www.earthshaker-fest.de/) and go to the 'Giveaways' section.

NOTE: Blind Guardian will not actually be performing at the Earthshaker Festival, this is simply a promotion. To see Blind Guardian's tour dates, visit their official website (http://www.blind-guardian.com/).
