Reckon it won't be til Feb now. Final headliner Babymetal.

Babymetal are waiting!

This. Put me off getting a ticket for now. Will have to see who else is announced on other stages.

I think I can predict next announcement;

Therion
Hammerfall
Stratovarius

Meshuggah, Tesseract, Devin Townsend Project, Kreator, Shining/Taake, Moonspell, Clutch, Orange Goblin, Raging Spedhorn...

To name a few.

Definite possibility for this year. New album - on tour with Powerwolf.

Wouldnt be surprised to see both this year.
