High Voltage 2010 saw headline performances from ZZ Top and ELP in what was one of the live music highlights of recent years.
Glorious weather combined with one of the finest musical line-ups at any festival anywhere in the world in 2010 gave us a genuine rock n roll mecca in deep East London.
We saw stunning performances from the likes of UFO, Foreigner, Joe Bonamassa and Asia, while the Heaven & Hell tribute to Ronnie James Dio left not a dry eye anywhere in the arena.
This was a rock festival as it was supposed to be done, custom built by rock fans for rock fans - bring on 2011.
