Community Events November 27-December 3

This week’s highlight events:

DisEnchanted takes over the Bree Park on Landroval every Wednesday night at 8:30pm, but this week they’ll hold a very special “Rock Your Holidays” concert with P.I.E.  Find out why these bands are two of the most beloved in the game while they put you in the holiday spirit.

Tour-v1

The Andune Ensemble plays on Landroval every Sunday at 3pm on the Bree Stage.  This week the Rory and Gaby Project will follow with the first concert of their world tour.  Acorne, Bilbeto, and Toadflax always know how to put on a great show, so be sure to catch them at one of their tour stops.  Belegaer, Crickhollow, Laurelin, and Sirannon will all get their show soon, but this weekend Landroval is the place to be.


All events are listed in Eastern Standard Time (-5 GMT)/server time, but an additional time zone is listed for EU server events.  You may add events or post corrections in the comments section, but the fastest and best way to get it on this page is to submit a form.  I’m always open to feedback and suggestions, both here and through the submissions form, so let me know if there’s something we should feature.  Thanks for reading!

A look back:

The players of Sirannon put together a vigil for the Paris attack victims last Saturday.  Players and musicians came from many servers to join with the community in advance of this Saturday’s FriendshipFrance event.  Below: Les Daft Pigs played La Marseillaise for the crowd

lesdaftpigs

The judges had a tough time picking winners with so many excellent entries for Crickhollow’s autumn cosmetic contest.  In the end, Pontin beat out Malltese, Smudge, and the rest to take this month’s title.  Next month the theme will be Yule and the competition will surely remain fierce.

Every week I’ll be highlighting one or two (or three!) big events, looking back on one from the previous week, and previewing something on the way.  I’m always open to feedback and suggestions, both here and through the submissions form, so let me know if there’s something we should feature.

*All events are listed in Eastern Standard Time (-5 GMT)/server time, but an additional time zone is listed for EU server events.

The Party in the Park comes to Crickhollow’s Bree Park this Saturday, November 14th, from 3pm-6pm EST/server time.  The party features longtime server favourites the Firebrands and two bands that will be playing their first major concerts on this server, Little Wanderers and Weatherstock 2015 winners The Remediators.  To find out more, take a look at the Crickhollow Music interview with the event organiser, Scropolo, who said, “I wanted to involve three bands with connections to different servers so the word would spread and encourage more people to cross servers and enjoy the music each individual server has to offer. There are some really amazing bands out there with some unbelievable talents and if I can put on a small show for people to come and enjoy together then I will have the biggest smile on my face.”

Coming soon:

A couple of weeks ago, Byrcha of the Lonely Mountain Band announced the news we were all longing to hear–Winterstock will return for its third edition January 15th-18th!  Weatherstock’s frozen cousin doesn’t feature a competition, but rather 4 days of music from bands across multiple servers.  There will be an announcement on the official forums and on the LOTRO Players events report when band applications open up.



A look back:

This week’s edition of the Community Event calendar is dedicated to the memory of Alasse.  This shining member of the LOTRO community and true lore master sailed into the west last month.  She made her presence known through many servers, betas, and forums, but her main home was on Landroval.  Her kinmates and friends gathered together for a touching celebration of her life last Saturday.  Additional photos of the memorial are available on Flikr.

That’s it for this week!  I’d like to take a moment to thank all of the organisers, volunteers, and bands for the hard work that goes into each and every activity on this list.  We’ve got plenty of great events coming up every day of the week–find one that appeals to you and support our wonderful community!
