I would just like to note that for the first time since this annual event started, the list doesn’t include Seattle, which is high-megawatt suckage. Given the geographic trajectory, they would have to add us at the beginning of the tour or at the end. We’ll see . . .
This is the worst lineup ever!!!!!!
I am stoked to see 6 of those bands and would be totally happy to see the other 4. That’s a pretty fucking good line up right there even if I am seeing Dillinger on the 19th. The Ocean’s always a blast live to boot!
the Kansas City area is getting zero love from the the big metal tours this summer. seriously, who did we piss off?
Stoked to see Thy Art Is Murder are on the bill, awesome band!!!
