There are several honors that can come by way of a successful career as a band. There are awards given, there are gold and platinum records handed out, and there is the privilege of being counted among the best in music's illustrious history through special inductions. On Sunday, August 4th, and after an amazing performance at the prestigious Wacken Open Air Festival, the Hard Rock Cafe recognized Circle II Circle as being a prominent part of music history and as such created an awe inspiring display to pay tribute to their achievements.
"It was a phenomenal week in Germany for CIIC. After an arduous day of travel, we had two incredible days of rehearsals in Hamburg before setting out to rock Europe's largest, loudest, and heaviest music festival; Wacken Open Air. Four days later we were inducted onto the memorabilia wall of the Hard Rock Cafe Hamburg. Autographed shirts, guitar picks, and a cymbal will now be part of the same collection that houses iconic items from the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Sting, Keith Richards, and many others. We want to sincerely thank everyone at Wacken Open Air and the Hard Rock Cafe Hamburg for an unforgettable week and the amazing hospitality" - Zak Stevens.
Circle II Circle continues on with nine more dates for the Tour Of Magellan before coming back to the USA when plans of a three week tour and dates will be officially announced. Their US and Canadian manager Frank James, president of Rage On Stage Management says "I can't believe that CIIC keeps evolving and stays on track with their fans. Staying relevant as a band is probably the single most difficult thing to accomplish and I'm still seeing another 10 or 15 years of life in this band. It truly amazes me!!"
