The only two bands I want to see so far are on different days, so not even worth a day ticket. Unless the Sophie Headliners are all bands I want to see, it's looking like a no show for me next year.

As long as it's not more than a 20 minute set, songs just sound the same after that

Wouldn't mind seeing these somewhere on the bill.

1st headliner to be announced at the end of the month.

Agreed, I can see them selling a fair few day tickets between them. I think everybody needs to push the organisers to put on other bands during the main act, as this is likely to be the format for future years. Wish they would put them on the Sunday so I could go home early, but that would be too e...

Well that would put me right off, and the way things are going with some genres now being over looked in favour if others even the under card are getting weak.

As much as I don't mind checking new bands out, I do feel the 2nd stage is weaker in terms of well known bands this year. Even last year, the top 4 or 5 each day were bands I was at least aware of. I've had to do a lot more research so far this year. The keep going on about the festival becoming bi...

Christ in a canoe, not fucking Def Leppard. One of the most boring bands I've ever had to witness.

If that was written by someone in the BOA team it would explain why we don't get many folk bands as they don't know what folk metal is. It wasn't written by any of the BOA team, it was just a regular fan. No, from memory it was written by Simon Hall, who books the Sophie, Unsigned and Jaeger stages...

HRH Vikings has got a lot of the folk stuff this time, stuff we used to get at Bloodstock. Not really. It was nearly all death metal, with very little actual folk metal. The second one seems a little more balanced: Finntroll, Heidevolk, Moonsorrow, Skalmold, Cruachan, Elvenking, Skyclad, Deadwood L...
