Next Announcement

[JD_B3E5]

If not Vio-Lence, I'm holding out for Destruction on the main stage if they can be squeezed in.

[CharlesDexterWard]

I would be delighted with Destruction
I miss Forbidden

[houston4044]

Vio-lence have confirmed EU exclusivity with Alcatraz festival which rules out any other Europe/UK shows for this year.

Ah well, least it saves all the speculation that goes nowhere

[Gandalf the Red]

I am personally hoping for at least Equillibrium for one of remaining main stage slots as they're playing other summer fests this year.

They're on HRH Metal in Feb so I think the chances are remote. I'm sure they would have announced by now if they were planning on playing.

[fluffkitten]

Announcement tomorrow, probably normal time.

[CharlesDexterWard]

Woo Hoo (I hope)

[Baldy77]

Hurrah

[Powerslave]

any chance of getting Soen do we think? their one UK show is tonight.

[J.Ross29]

Raised by owls, psychostick, Valafar all for the sophie stage. Baroness for main stage would be good too. i know its not gonna happen but overkill on the main stage would be amazing!

[Jay1993]

Overkill or destruction would be nice!

[Haldamir319]

I'm guessing another 3-5 Sophie bands.

At what time last year did they announce the rest of the Thursday night bill?

Speaking of the Thursday, I hope they keep to the booking principle of the opening band being a New Blood band that did well the year before. HYOM absolutely killed it (and had a massive crowd too!). Along those lines, someone like Luna's Call the kick off the entire festival would be really sweet.

I didn't know that they did that. However with it in mind - SELLLLSWOOOOOORD

[Haldamir319]

It's only happened two years in a row so far, with Ramage Inc and Hundred Year Old Man. Could be a pattern, could just be a fluke. I actually hope it is a thing.

Agreed on Sellsword as well- saw them a couple of months back and they were brilliant. Them, Luna's Call, Underdark, Kilonova, Pelugion or Servers would all be good shouts I think.

[CharlesDexterWard]

I know more of the Sophie stage bands than the 2 main stage ones (never heard of either).

Sophie stage is looking decent, Thursday looks good!

[Haldamir319]

I've actually heard of most of them!
