Love/Hate, Tuff, Femme Fatale and Prophet have all been added recently, and Death Dealer dropped off due to scheduling issues. They'll be replaced by PPUSA alum Cage.
Love / Hate???
Holy smokes!! I remember their video "Black out in the Red Room"
All the hair metal chicks in my high school loved them.
What's next? They gonna book VAIN?????????????
This is actually a cool lineup. Many bands I wouldn't mind seeing.
So apparently this festival is falling apart. It's still scheduled to go on, but a good number of bands have dropped off the bill. I honestly have no idea who is still playing at this point.
Off the top of my head - Circle II Circle, Benedictum, Tango Down, Line of Fire, Tuff, Love/Hate, Vainglory and I'm pretty sure Flotsam & Jetsam. I'm sure there are others.
Wow. What do you think the deal is?
I'm so stoked I get to even be there Thursday to catch that show... I mean that's a cray lineup!!!
Michael Angelo Batio whaaaat? I think every kid learned their first sweeps from that dude. Will be really cool to see that, and also Rusty Cooley!
I won't call anyone out, but let's face it.
This happens quite often.
This isn't the only US festival where bands all of a sudden "Dropped Off"
This fest is hosting a TON of bands who need to be paid.
It was pretty inevitable that (and I am only assuming), bands were called to "step down" and break their deals so the promoter could lower his losses.
Even with the remaining bands, I don't even know how ticket sales alone would cover flights, let alone performance fees.
It's a shame as it was a cool lineup.
I still would love to see Reverence.
