Festivals + shows you will attend

[Griffin-]

At the moment I'm checking which festivals I will attend this summer (I'm hoping to break my record of 4 festivals). This is a topic meant for others to get to know about certain festivals or concerts, or perhaps for people living in the same country to meet at a festival. I hope there's not already a topic like this..

My concert list:
11th March - Paul Di'Anno + Maiden coverband says it all. Netherlands
19th March - Brocas Helm (+Thee Plague of Gentlemen + Litany) Belgium
26th March - Raise Your Fist (Girlschool, Death SS (with their horror show), Agent Steel (only skeptics songs) , Atomkraft, Jaguar, Jagannath reunion show and more) Hardenberg, Netherlands
2nd April - KIT IV (Agent Steel, Overlorde, Torch, Satan, Deadly Blessing, Thunder Rider, Vortex, Paragon and more warm-up: Martyr reunion show!, Adramelch, Shadowkeep, Lanfear) in Koenigshofen, Germany
23rd April - Belgian Doom Night 3, (not quite sure about this but The Gates of Slumber, Doomshine, Mirror of Deception and more bands might be intresting.) Belgium

Festivals:
17-19th July - Ragnarock (Witchfynde, Death SS, Demon and 2x Virgin Steele) Zeeland, Netherlands
24-5th June - Bang Your Head (kick ass billing! Twisted Sister, Motorhead, Saxon, Dio, Vicious Rumours, Doro, UDO, Nevermore, Krokus, Virgin Steele, Tankard, Jag Panzer, Morgana Lefay, Exciter Nasty Savage, Demon and more) Balingen, Germany
2nd-3rd July - Bospop (so far I think I'm only going the third to see Maiden and Overkill, not very much other interesting bands.. yet) Around the corner, Weert, Netherlands
8-10th July - Headbanger Open Air! Cult metal festival in German guy's backyarden. Went there last year, again this year for this billing: Gaskin, Weapon, Tyrant's Reign, Heathen, Damien Thorne, Attacker,Warrant, Mystery Blue and more, warm-up Avenger!, Ironsword, Premordial) Itzehoe, Germany
23rd-24th July - Earthshaker hopefully!! Manowar, haven't ever seen them! And I won't get another chance this year. Also Overkill + Testament. Nurnberg, Germany.

I'll have to work my ass of to go to all of those though. But I'm willing to give that sacrifice

Brainstorm isn't one of my favorites on disc, but they rip live. You will enjoy their live performance if you have never seen them.

Only festival I have lined up is Download again, to see Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Slayer and Slipknot (cos I was supposed to see them on the Unholy Alliance tour but got kicked out ), don't really care for most of the others announced so far. Billy Idol and System Of A Down should be interesting.

Might be going Maker festival too, which is a local thing for druggies and gromits I have special reason to go, if I do though...

Judas Priest in 23 days is the only gig I have lined up

[Metal Dog]

Bands I'm hoping to see in the near future are Dokken, Danger Danger, Vain, Bang Tango, Pretty Boy Flloyd and Enuff 'Z' Nuff
Looking forward to the Bloodstock Open Air Festival in June which will play host to the likes of Seb Bach, Edguy, Fourwaykill and Panic Cell.
and the indoor version of Bloodstock which will have Hammerfall, Bob Catley, Cathedral and Conquest of Steel.
There is also a charity gig I'm hoping to attend in Coventry with Panic Cell, Fourwaykill and Balance Of Silence
