Playing Time

[Morbid Emperor]

Hi all,

I am flying over from Australia on my first trip to Wacken which coincides with my trip to Europe and Emperor's possible last show.

Do you guys think 1hr to 1h 15 minutes is enough for major acts on the bill? Doesnt it seem a bit short. I would think 1.5 hours should be the minimum especially with some of the bigger acts (or those most anticipated), I would think. Maybe cut down on bands and have them play longer?

Any comments, opinions???

Anyway, hope to catch Morbid Angel at Planet music, Vienna on 14 th August as well.

Jose

I have no qualms whatsoever with the playing times

To be honest all main stage bands get a minimum of 45 minutes, so it ensures all the bands get a decent enough set time. At the end of the day, its a festival and therefore has to cater for a different tastes more so than if you went to one of the bands gigs.

An hour and a quarter may sound a bit short, but keep in mind that's actual playing time, since there're multiple stages there's no down time between bands.

If you enjoy a band, quite often you will think "hey, I wanted them to play longer!!" no matter how long the set is, so I guess they have to draw the line somewhere.

I think having more bands is best at festivals, because you do have to try and cater for everybody, and fitting in as many diverse bands as possible is the best way.

Has anyone actually heard the latest Soulfly album? It is apparently more thrashy than the latest Sepultura album.
