So, is it Helloween for '04 then..?

[Volcane]

A post on the DragonForce forum suggests that Helloween are very,very,very nearly confirmed to headline BS04.

Sounds pretty good to me... Now, add RAGE to the bill to headline friday and we're home and dry

Would be nice, especially with the Scorpians to headline the friday night

 

[Eagle]

Here I AM - ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE!!!

 

[Black Lagoon]

You zee the microphones in the air, you zee them! etc etc

Personally I'd love to see the Scorps at Bloodstock. Especially if they are still wearing there lovely hats to cover there balding pates.

 

[Volcane]

Yeah - the Scorpions !

I don't think they've played the UK since... 'World Wide Live..?'

Bad Boys Running Wild, now you'd better get out of their weeeeeeeeee....'

They don't write 'em like that any more...

I dont care that they're positively geriatric. Trouble is I bet they'd want the entire Bloodstock budget.

Happy happy helloween helloween helloween
happy happy helloween etc etc

 

[Black Lagoon]

Yeah - the Scorpions !

.

They have been. They did Hammersmith on the Savage Amusment tour and Nottingham Rock City on the last tour.

And I managed to get out there weeeeeeeee

If the rumour is true about Helloween I will be very happy indeed! If I get to meet Andi Deris I will be even happier!!!

 

[Jonoleth]

helloween would be most worthy of bloodstock... itll make it well worth my 35 quid alone, again... such value for money....

 

[Eagle]

Helloween would be a very sensible choice

39 this time round.

And yes, there are worse choices than Helloween.

Was that post by me by any chance

I heard from someone who appears to be very knowledgable about these things and she said that while they aren't 100% confirmed they are very close to agreeing.

Helloween would be an excellent choice.

Hah! This is total news to me. We have approached several possible headliners but not one has come back with any "close agreements". In fact it is far too early for any headliner to agree yet. Most bigger bands will know what their schedule is around Jan / Feb time - and this is the time we confirm a headliner based on who can logistically do it within their schedule.

As for Helloween - this is in fact one band we have not approached as their schedule has a show next week in the UK, and they will be back in 2004 to offer up more solo headline dates themselves as far as I know.

Hows about getting ehm...manowar

Well thank you for clearing this up for me

I now know that this person who told me about Helloween is a lying scumbag and will recieve a kick next time I set eyes on their lying carcass.

Cheers

Oh...Sorry for saying that then...can you tell us who you have approached then?

Too Expensive - as mentioned before - Manowar are one of those bands which would eat the entire festival budget (As are Priest, Scorpions, Motorhead etc.)

I thought as much all the money would be surely gone if they came

 

[oozily]

Iced Earth would be nice

 

[Eagle]

Gamma Ray would be even nicer.
