Can i just, i mean, jesus. TRIPTYKON alone is amazing as a day 1 headliner, but fucking Inquisition? Enabler? Black Breath? All these bands have multiple album of the eyar contenders, as EPs and albums, udner their belts. Jesus F Christ.
This is beyond insane. How do they do it??!!!
Oh, it’s not that difficult. Didn’t you see the second Wayne’s World movie?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, so they probably liaise with Chuck to curate the line-up in the same way Wayne and Garth had Jim…?!!!
I sort of feel like they must have been monitoring my listening habits when they were picking bands this year. Inquisition, Necros Christos, and Candlemass? Hell yeah.
good grief this is freaking awesome
I need to pick a college on the east coast. This is just too good for me to miss.
So many awesome bands…this is a truly unbelievable lineup. Next May cannot come fast enough as far as Im concerned
Greatest festival lineup EVER!!!!!
4-day passes sold out in about two hours…almost as fast as last year.
Theres still plenty of three day passes for all the venues and single day tickets go on sale in early December so its not sold out by any means, but I remember when it would take a couple of weeks for the 4 day passes to disappear.
Good luck to anyone whose trying to get tickets…dont wait on them for too long
