Talent is subject to change.
The show will once again take place on the two stages in the Palladium. This year there will once again be a film crew recording every second of action on the stage and behind the scenes for another LIVE DVD. Record labels, vendors, and record distributors will set up shop in the balcony of the upstairs room. Sponsors this year include Prosthetic Records who is sponsoring the 2nd Stage upstairs, Revolver Magazine, Metal Maniacs Magazine, Relapse Records, Mazur PR, The Syndicate and many others.
