Oktoberhallen, Wieze, Belgium
17 and 18 October 2009
Metal Female Voices Fest VII

It is already the seventh edition of this female fronted festival. Two days full of many respectful bands from the gothic and rock scene from all over the world are coming over to Wieze. With headliners like EPICA, DELAIN, TARJA TURUNEN and DORO.

Since their beginning MFVF managed to put bands together, creating a family unless backstage. It is a platform for upcoming bands, and a highlight for the fans in many ways. A few years ago Leaves’ Eyes recorded their dvd in the Oktoberhallen, with their huge Viking ship. This year the Dutch gothic band EPICA will record the live show as a part of their upcoming dvd.
