Warkings!

Not much else there stands out to me.

I absolutely love Skynd. Not something I would ever think would fit in at Bloodstock, but great for me.

After swearing this year I'd never be back, they've gone and booked bands I can't ignore. Zeal and Ardor, Skynd and Helloween are all massive draws for me, and throw in a few like Warkings and Dakesis from this announcement, I'm actually sold.

If you like Warkings, you should like Dakesis.
