With them booked, it would explain why we've got as small an undercard as we did in 2018. I can't see Devin and Behemoth costing as much as Gojira and Nightwish did. Only reasons I can think of why we have as small an undercard as we did in 2018 is that JP have jacked up their fee for their 50 year tour and the value of the Pound has fallen.
I'd say its likely they are still trying to recover from spending all that money on them the first time around, as well as spending loads of money last year on Scorpions and it not selling particularly well. I wish they'd learn their lesson and actually spend within their means, but apparently not.
I think the Mercyful Fate train has completely passed. I'm sure I heard somewhere that they tried but it just didn't work out. Its just yet another major metal band Bloodstock miss out on.
