Festivals

[Caesium]

Metalcamp. It's in my country, so I have to go, right. And there's Amon Amarth, Korpiklaani, Skyforger, Tyr, ... and a bunch of other great bands

The European festivals are the best, I've been to Rock Machina in Spain, Wacken in Germany a few times and MetalCamp in Slovenia.

The first few MetalStock festivals in Australia were OK.

MetalCamp is the best by far.

Any decent festivals in the States, or where can I learn 'concert organization 101'?

 

[VictoryFeast]

The only fest ive heard about in the states is ozzfest

 

[Babydollcybergoth]

Maryland Deathfest is supposed to be pretty good.

 

[False Joe]

Summer Slaughter is also in america.
The good one anyway

It will be Hellfest for me Primordial will be there.

Shit, didnt think id find another Primordial fan on the forum, i'll be seeing them at Wacken ( hope they place As Rome Burns). They are a great Pagan/Black metal band if anyone is interested, their latest album To The Nameless Dead is amazing

I don't know much Primordial but I know at least Giv and Lee in my band are big fans, I had a drink with the Primordial singer while at the Headbangers Ballroom in Germany, he had shaven his head so I didn't recognise him instantly, he wrote me a funny message to pass on to Giv who he knows reasonably well.

I know at least one of the songs that Giv wrote is Primordial inspired.

MDF is complete and utter awesomeness. At least it would be if I could afford to go... maybe next year..

Graspop was great. Despite Priest being a bit painful to watch, Kiss fucking about on stage for half an hour with playing a song and the fucking Dutch people on the camping lot.

Sabaton owned
Skindred owned
Iced Earth with Barlow owned
Saxon owned
Maiden owned (once again)
Apocaltyptica was pretty good
So were Testament and Behemoth
