After unbelievably topping both the German (#5) and Swiss (#9) charts with the latest album Into the Storm and selling out 7 dates of the first part of the Into the Storm-Tour in February there is still so much more to come from Axel Rudi Pell.

He released a new video "Long Way to Go" and revealed the guest list for his 25^th anniversary headliner gig on July 11^th at the BANG YOUR HEAD FESTIVAL in Balingen, Germany. Not only will he be joined on stage by Graham Bonnet (Rainbow, MSG), Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow, Deep Purple), Doogie White (Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen), John Lawton (Uriah Heep), Tony Carey (Rainbow), Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath, Dio) and the former ARP singers Jeff Scott Soto and Rob Rock, but he will also be reunited with the original members from his former band STEELER.

This show is not to be missed! http://www.bang-your-head.de/home.php

To celebrate the second part of the "Into The Storm" - Tour, the Bochum show is already sold out again, the successful album "Into The Storm" gets a deluxe treatment with a bonus CD consisting of brand new live recordings and the latest video as an enhanced part.
