Next Announcement

[varangian]

It`s not Manowar they've just announced two exclusive UK dates at Birmingham in April next year, not cheap either

[Gandalf the Red]

It's going to be Darkthrone, Burzum and Bathory.

Why not Deicide, Full of Hell, Immolation and Dying Fetus then?

I didn't think anyone would fall for that....

[Ghost]

It's going to be Darkthrone, Burzum and Bathory.

Someone needs to do a tribute band for these non live bands. (expect burzum because he's a dick). A band that plays darkthrone, bathory and meathook seed songs.

[Gandalf the Red]

Bathory has already been done a few times.

But I would rather it be done somewhere else rather than Bloodstock. A place Quorthon probably would have hated.

Would be a great choice for the Thursday night.

What's this about Mogg and UFO? Also, are there plans for shows for the German big 4

Apparently Mogg is retiring put a thread on Wishlist about it, same with Krokus apparently but if they were to say a goodbye to the UK I`m sure they would get more respect from the BOA crowd than Brownload
No UK shows planned for the German Big Four but suggestions are needed that might get considered

Ah right, thought I'd missed a rumor or something

So who finishes a tour in the next week then?

Not the last headline says Vicky on the Rock Soc FB.

Within Temptation opening the main stage so they can headline in Germany later in the day confirmed then. Black Wizard has been hinting at this for weeks

To be fair, helicopter / jet from Festival A to Festival B would be in the highest tradition of the genre. Get Brucey to take them on the Maiden plane, since they're not headlining at Donnington for a change.

[Bizza]

Slayer confirmed for Download.

[Jay1993]

Is there another BOA announcement tomorrow or am I getting my dates mixed up?

[houston4044]

Slayer confirmed for Download.

Not a big loss

Is there another BOA announcement tomorrow or am I getting my dates mixed up?

There is according to Vicky's twitter

[Powerslave]

Within Temptation not in the Download announcement

[Black Wizard]

Not a big loss

Agreed. It looks like I will indeed never see Slayer again. I can live with that. Bloodstock Bingo is screwed up though.

Within Temptation not in the Download announcement

Apparently Sharon said something about a big festival in England at the end of one of their recent shows, so I assume that means Download and there's plenty space left on the line-up. Either that or they'll be at Reading Festival.

[fluffkitten]

Download's announcement would seem to rule out LoG (thankfully), Opeth and unfortunately Anthrax.

Carcass too

So apart from Within Temptation and Obituary who has recently finishing touring and isn't doing DL who could feasibly do BOA?

[Haldamir319]

Candlemass and Powerwolf both seem to be playing Euro fests around the right time of year to be in consideration. I haven't yet checked to see if they are free on the BOA dates specifically, but I'd be hugely happy with either / both.

As for the headliner... who knows who it's going to end up being...
