The list is great. I'll be there if I can find somebody to go with, but it's difficult, because it's expensive.

A lot of big names there, maybe I should check out for next year. The festival though is in open air, and quit a long distance from me (yeah we got "some" distances here to, Sweden should be nearly 1000 miles or so,or 2500 if it's near the north pole So if you have to travel 1000 miles to get a rain shower it's not that interesting...

 

[Death Animal]

There are many good bands. But good that There is Tuska festival here in Finland. So I don`t have to go Sweden

The current roster includes exactly half of the artists appearing at Tuska 2006. A total of 32 bands on three stages will perform at Kaisaniemi, Helsinki over the course of three days. In addition to this, a couple of dozen bands will be appearing at the infamous evening clubs.

Now this would be the ultimate festival ! I have a cousin in Sweden that attends every year, we always wanted to meet up. Last year didn´t work because of business. This year our second baby is due within those days, and I won´t mis that for anything in the world.

i've been dreaming to go to SR for years now - there always have been some great 70s-80s bands on the bill but it's been difficult for me to have the days off in June. if anyone is going, please take lots of pics for me
