CLASSIC rock and metal songs will be reimagined in a concert at the Swindon MECA.

Festival of The Dead's Rock Orchestra by Candlelight features the classical re-imaginings of a 13-piece chamber orchestra playing some of the most well-known and well-loved hits from the last 40 years, including the likes of Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Rage Against the Machine, Linkin Park and more.

Founder Nathan Reed said: “We’ve seen a real resurgence in rock music over the last few months thanks to the likes of Olivia Rodrigo, Willow and Eurovision song contest winner Maneskin who are dominating the charts right now.

“Our orchestra plays huge rock and metal tracks paying homage to the golden eras but also appealing to a completely new generation. We’ve found something really special.

.“The feedback has been incredible. Like most of us, we’re really pleased to see the return of live music and it’s been extremely rewarding to be able to put on shows like this, particularly as the industry starts to regain strength. We’re massively excited for the future of The Rock Orchestra and look forward to seeing the show continue in its success.”

There are two shows on September 11, one at 3pm and another at 7.30pm, which is sold out.
