I like this change so far. I think Sheephead fits with Devil Driver and Soil fans.

My hopes for 1 day that fits my taste have been awakened once more.

Assuming the headliner is lined up, I'll be interested to find out why the delay between now and the 30th. I have no doubt you guys have a legitimate reason, as I'm sure you'd prefer to start selling tickets ASAP. Regardless, good luck.

fixed?

I like the addition of Luna Mortis. I expressed my thumbs up for them in the Soilwork thread. Seen 'em a bunch and hope there's some bodies in the door to watch them.

As far as the switch of days for DD, Soil and ND...I suppose I am indifferent about it. I'm there all three days so I guess it doesn't matter to me. If it's a better fit I wouldn't know. More homework...

fixed?

That too!!

 

[MetalSpice]

Cool.
I've seen Luna Mortis a few times. Good stuff.
Looking forward to futher announcements!

Hey Rob... not sure if this is something you can or care to answer. Do you have your final headliner locked down, but can't announce for some contractual reason or is the 30th a self-imposed deadline for locking down the headliner?

Maybe the other headliner is 3 Inches of Blood since they are playing Slipknot and Devildriver in Saint Louis on the 6th. In which case that is more then fine with me, I havent seen them do a headlinign set yet!!

Testament is tenatively listed in Minneapolis on May 10. Maybe they are making a return appearance as the other headliner. 3IOB would be a good opener for them.

Wikipedia is interesting... I wonder how accurate it is.

 

[The Invisible Guest]

I would say Wikipedia is 99.137 % accurate. Interesting what you can learn there.
