Well, another Wildfest is complete. The End Of The Road, final one. Whether it was your first experience or you’re a seasoned veteran, what a ride! Friends from around the globe: smiling, laughing and embracing each other. All to the soundtrack of some talented bands and fantastic musicians. Thanks, Jan Degreve, Sven Breckmoes, Wildheart and everyone involved.
CGCM Rock Radio/Website had three representatives in attendance for this 2025 event. All three are huge music fans, but with different tastes and preferences….here’s the crew:
Rich “The Meister” Dillon – Co-creator of the CGCM Empire, he’s here and present for his 4th consecutive Wildfest. Often citing it as one of his favourite festivals, its exit will leave a massive hole in his heart.
Brian Ronald – CGCM Rock Radio/Website‘s ace photographer and also “That 70s Guy” writer, pulled the trigger on his first time attendance in 2025 after hearing so many positive accolades from Meister and other friends.
Krysti “Kryfar” Farnam – Leaving her camera at home and really just attending her first Wildfest to rock out, Kryfar had a blast and wishes that the fest would continue. As do we all, Kryfar, as do we all! While Kryfar had a blast, she unfortunately didn’t catch every band, so if there are no comments from her, it’s one she missed.
We will each share a few comments on every band we saw and on the event itself.
CRAZY LIXX
BRIAN: The Saturday night headliner has eluded me from seeing them live for quite a while now, so they were high on the bucket list this weekend. I mean, I’m not a diehard fan, but I have all their CDs and really love a lot of their stuff. I was impressed. Great stage presence and I thought the set list was awesome. It was so cool to be in the pit singing and shooting to my fave “Hell Raising Women”. “Little Miss Dangerous”, “Girl of the 80’s” and “Who Said Rock n Roll is Dead” were great. A great way to end the end of the festival.
MEISTER: Unfortunately, my breathing issues that began during Cruel Intentions were now in full-on raging force. Yes, I suffer from a nasal condition anyway, but the air was absolutely stifling in here, no movement, no fresh air and chokingly humid. Due to this, I had to sit at a small table in the back and did not take my songs photoing. Even with taking it easy at the rear of the venue, I enjoyed Crazy Lixx. I have seen Crazy Lixx many times and they are always great on stage, one year making my #2 spot for best gig on Monsters Of Rock Cruise. Here was no different and hearing some of the new material live refreshed the set.
