I was hoping to organize things a little bit and see what festivals y'all have planned for this summer. Still a bit early but whatever. If you want to post what you have planned, or are thinking about doing, then maybe more people would be encouraged to go places if they know there will be other people there. I'll edit fests in chronologically as people post them... Summer Nights (AT) May 23-25. Obscene Extreme – Czech Republic (Svojsice) 16/07/2009 – 18/07/2009 Unholy Festival – Czech Republic (Ostrava) 24/07/2009 – 25/07/2009 Wacken Open Air (DE) July 30-Aug 1. Brutal Assault 2009 – Czech Republic (Pevnost Josefov) 06/08/2009 – 08/08/2009 Party San – Germany (Bad Berka) 06/08/2009 – 08/08/2009 Summer Breeze Open Air – Germany (Dinkelsbuhl) 13/08/2009 – 15/08/2009 Summer Breeze Open Air – Germany (Dinkelsbuhl) 13/08/2009 – 15/08/2009
I'm interested into Ragnarök, Dong (also thinking about that other one while that time though), Hörnerfest and Wacken so far
These are the ones i am interested in seeing when i come up , although i haven't many positive things about Brutal Assault. (Some dates also clash). I haven't been over seas before so i will probably only go to 3 of these. Obscene Extreme – Czech Republic (Svojsice) 16/07/2009 – 18/07/2009 Unholy Festival – Czech Republic (Ostrava) 24/07/2009 – 25/07/2009 Would love to go to unholy but it is just a little too close to Wacken for my liking. Brutal Assault 2009 – Czech Republic (Pevnost Josefov) 06/08/2009 – 08/08/2009 I heard alot of foreigners were robbed in their sleep at this festival which has unfortunately is making me lean towards not going. Party San – Germany (Bad Berka) 06/08/2009 – 08/08/2009 Summer Breeze Open Air – Germany (Dinkelsbuhl) 13/08/2009 – 15/08/2009 Metal Mean Festival – Belgium (Mean) 22/08/2009 The website has no bands listed on it yet but i am interested to see who is playing it as Taake has it listed on their website as an upcoming gig.
Ragnarök, but can't go. Dong Wacken. Not more. Not even Graspop! I'll be away during that weekend anyways. Sylt
Wacken, Dong, HOA, and Bloodstock almost for sure... and hopefully also Hellfest, Graspop, and Metalcamp
Nice list! Ragnarök 17 & 18 -4 Houten Death Fest 24 & 25 -4 Death Feast Open Air 11-6 13 - 6 Obscene Extreme 16-7 (my b-day) to 18 -7 Stonehenge or Zwarte Cross - 25-7 or 23 to 25 - 7 Wacken? 30-7 to 1-8 Party San 6-8 to 8-8 occultfest 4&5 - 9
Méan? Interesting! MAYBE but JUST MAYBE I'll be going myself, but all depends if I can get there without any form of own transportation. (I'm not gonna go to a small station in the middle of nowhere in Wallonia to get lost there)
Yeah, that is the one thing i have reservations about with alot of the festivals. Being new to traveling and never having been overseas before i can't imagine anything worse than getting lost in some remote area. Especially because i only speak English. But in general i am so overwhelmed by the many fantastic festivals happening at that time of year
