Good stuff! I was surprised to see metal fests in Morrocco, Algeria and Tunisia. Does anyone know more about these fests?

I heard about one in Dubai. Think Megadeth was playing there.

The ragnorak fest in Scotland looks pretty sweet...

Also, there is a festival in China.

Bulshit... Where's Brazil's Live n Louder? How about Brazil Metal Union?

I heard about one in Dubai. Think Megadeth was playing there.

It was in mid-March. Saxon was banned from the festival because of "Crusader":

damn, my goal in life is to attend a Scandanavian metal festival. (we will include "Germany" in Scandanavia for this wish... ooo Wacken )

But as for proximity, Minneapolis Mayhem looks sweet!! Steel Attack, Gaia Epicus, Division!!! worth it right there and the roster isn't even filled up!!! (and it's on the weekend of my birthday, kick ass!)

I hope freakin' SwordLord can eventually conjur up a "Midwest Metalfest", that man is awesome and will do great things for the world of Metal.

Only reason I would go to Maryland Deathfest... is for Anata. Most of the groups on there are unknown to me, and perhaps if I listen to them all I might find others. But Anata, is one of the -best- death metal groups out there.

Evolution Fest

OH I AM GOING TO CRY! What a great line-up! And they have SECRET SPHERE whom I missed at ProgPower 4!!!

I am living on the wrong continent!
