My comment. F*CK me! Opeth, Blindside, Cult of Luna, Khoma and Burst at the same little festival? Now they just need to book Katatonia too.

Suddenly I don't have the slightest urge to go to Oslo that weekend.

Bah Ryan Air to from Stansed to Stockholm is dirt cheap and there are several nice and reasonably priced hostels nearby, like this one: http://www.svenskaturistforeningen.se/templates/hostel.aspx?id=1987

You know you want to
