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.
MR. MYST
BRIAN: Saturday openers and local Belgians, Mr. Myst got the festivities started for day 2. I don’t know much about them and although the energy level was high and they were a fun band to shoot with megaphones, explosions etc, musically I just couldn’t find myself tapping my foot to them.
MEISTER: Thanks to the unofficial Wildfest pre-parties, I’ve seen Mr. Myst a couple of times prior to their set here at the actual Wildfest. Their cover of the Michael Sembello song “Maniac” is the stuff legends are made of, well, according to our group’s inside joke….lol. They are a good starter band for the day and definitely fun to watch on stage with the props and energy. Unfortunately, we didn’t get “Maniac” today, but we did get my favourite song, “Ghosts“.
