Its a bummer, if I was rich I'd organize something but sadly I'm far from rich!

Yeah, the little metal fests in Europe are more than we get over here. But hey it gives me an excuse to go to Europe!

Point is, can you do it!

I'm told security measures are sooo tight over there, it's hardly possible to do anything, without fearing a 2nd (3rd, whatever) Woodstock scenario.

It makes me glad for living here.

Though, I do (almost) all of my festivals in Germany!
RockHard (Gelsenkirchen-NRW)
Hörnerfest (Brande-Hörnerkirchen-SH)
Dong Open Air (Neukirchen-Vluyn-NRW)
Either Headbangers Open Air (Brande-Hörnerkirchen-SH) or
Wackekn Open Air (Wacken-SH)

Actually, I only do either Schleswig-Holstein or Northrhine-Westphalia! No other states have seen me!

I don't know about that, Bonnaroo is a pretty huge festival, I think 150,000 in 2013. Its a general music festival though, the odd metal band now and then. You would think America, with Mexico and South America, and Canada could put together one decent open air fest devoted to Metal. But in America it would probably be a lot of bands like Five Finger Death Punch, Slipknot, and Stone Sour.

And there are sooo many other bands... in America alone...

Oh well, I'll just have no choice but to "rough" it in Europe every year or two at a great open air fest. Hopefully Wacken doesn't sell out in 48 hours every year!

Well, if you're not going in 14, you have the time to buy your ticket on the (EU) Monday after Wacken! (Sun. 6.00pm EST, 3pm PST)

Which isn't what I can say, I'll probably be in bed then! (From a 10hrs trip)

I knew the festival climate is better in Europe than it is in the US. Once I saw a Q/A with the following:
Q: Why is the festival that late? (as in the date)
A: Because we cannot compete with the big festivals in Europe.
Having read that, I actually knew enough.

That was Progpower.

 

[Quark]

That was Progpower.

It was!?


I couldn't remember where I read it. I only knew I read it.

But come to think of it, it was indeed Progpower!

Sabaton was as good as ever. Awesome show.
