did you ever woke up and saw that there's a great concert in your hometown?

[hoehlentroll]

The city where I live in is quite big but has been always overlooked in terms of metalgigs. I was really suprised and happy as I saw this billing:

Beastfest 2009

* Dimmu Borgir (NOR)
* Heaven Shall Burn (D)
* Dark Tranquillity (USA)
* Ignite (USA)
* Parkway Drive (AUS)
* The Black Dahlia Murder (USA)
* Comeback Kid (USA)
* Broilers (D)
* Neaera (D)
* August Burns Red (USA)
* Despised Icon (USA)
* God Forbid (USA)
* Whitechapel (USA)
* Anima (D)

The concert is just 1 km from where I live.

Dark Tranquillity (USA)?????

 

[hoehlentroll]

seems like a typo, I guess? I hope!

 

[Metal Overload]

HAHA.
Hey, how cool is that! just one Km?? thats fucking awesome!!
Have Fun!!

 

[hoehlentroll]

I will thanks

 

[Uladyne]

Fucking Europeans always getting the good shows! How I envy thee!

 

[Torniojaws]

To the topic: no.

Hell, the biggest festival here had Poets of the Fall as the only "famous" band Hell, it's rare to even have a name band do a gig here, and don't even think about having a foreign band...

Luckily there's a semi-big festival (Jalometalli) 130 km south from where I live. This year they've already got Electric Wizard

Haha who was there...Metal 2000 in Mannheim?

-Motörhead
-Slayer
-Dream Theater
-Iron Maiden

..And I saw Janick Gers fall off the stage, because he made some crazy & annoying posing stuff too much. After that, the original ´80 formation (1983 - 1988) was on stage. I will never forget that!

 

[hoehlentroll]

I live in Mannheim and the beast festival is at the same place where the metal 2000 was. It has been 9 years since such a cool event took place, so I'm quite happy!

 

[Moonlight_Seeker]

Yeah and btw, Despised Icon are from Canada.

 

[MetalJonesy]

Yaaaahh it was a magic moment, to see the 5 real Maidens (imo) playing together 2000 I like some songs from Janick Gers A LOT ("Ghost of the navigator" is one of his best works) but he makes too much ridiculous actions on stage Aaaargh that hurts. Anyway..UP THE IRONS!

 

[JeffTD]

Yeah, Lamb of God played the local theater last month with The Faceless - I live a mile away from the place and my friend works security so I got in free \m/.

 

[Razzee]

can't wait for after the burial and the faceless to come to europe ._.

best festivals this year in germany will be summerblast and vainstream

 

[Sloan]

David Allen Coe was playing nearby yesterday, but for some reason I couldn't talk my pal into going with me so I could GET FUCKED UP REBEL HELLRAISZE YEAAAH.

That's no pal.

 

[Meisterjäger]

I work about half a mile away from the V-Festival, but that's nothing I'd ever attend.

Quite a few big bands play in Colchester, where my band is based (so, where I spend a lot of time). Over the past few years we've had Chimaira, Lamb of God, Divine Heresy to name a few. Over the next few months we have 36 Crazyfists and In Flames/Cancer Bats coming to town!
