I'm sick of all you European wankers putting up bandlists for festivals that I don't have a chance in making, so it's finally time for the US Midwest to rise.
(Sorry astarte...)

Friday and Saturday, July 26-27 in lovely Milwaukee, Wisconsin. METALFEST XVI. 20 hours of scheduled mayhem (Sorry Lutz, Mayhem's not showing), but it usually goes longer.

Currently 127 bands are listed on the website. Highlights for me are:
Agathodaimon
Arch Enemy
Hate Eternal
Idiom
Incantation
Nile
November's Doom


Highlights for other people may include: (as in bands I've actually heard of...)
Absu
Amber Asylum
Angel Dust
Cephalic Carnage
Corpsevomit
Exhumed
Exodus
Jag Panzer
Rotting
Skyclad
Somnus
Tad Morose
The Chasm
Waco Jesus


And I just had to include this band: Grand Belial's Key

And all sorts of labels and whatnot so I can pick up what I need without shipping.

Sadly, the price for the 2 day pass has gone up to $58 (from $50).
so *thpppppt* :p
 
I have more highlights as Nomad :)

I'll get a full reviews of all musicians I know personally, so I can deal with it not being there... I guess it would be toooo much for my bad knee to fly over, esp. when I'm the weekend before and the weekend after plus the follow up weekend be at festivals. :)

*MORG is drunk*

Uhhh... I don't know if I'm going to the Milwaukee Metalfest this time. I love most of the bands that'll be there, but... Well... I don't have a ride there, and I don't think my parents would send me there by myself. Damnit! I want to be able to drive.

Nomad - I would have the same highlights list as you...
And November's Doom is very cool, I think! I'd like to see them live.

Yeah, ND kick ass! I've seen them 5 or so times. One of the advantages of living in Chicago. But last MMF their guitarist said they'd probably break up soon because they're scattered all over the US now. After their last album is released. Unless, of course, they changed their minds, which would be fantastic!

Oh yeah, and the sets are pretty short, but the bigger bands get the later time slots, and those sets are usually longer... 45 minutes or so...
 
It looks like I'll have to miss MMF. :cry:
I'll be drunken canoeing with lots of friends. Nuts. It's a hard choice, but I'll see Hate Eternal, Nile, and Arch Enemy (doing longer sets) the following Monday. But I'll regret the shopping opportunities and missing November's Doom, Idiom, and Agathodaimon.

GAH!

At least I get to see Brave tonight!
