Title: Festival Chat - 2012
Post by: cephalopod on November 10, 2011, 01:51:08 PM
Just thought a generalized thread for 2012 festivals would be awesome, and this is an appropriate time to commence:


Metallica have just been announced for Download UK 2012, playing Metallica (The Black Album) in full! Should be awesome for anyone going...

Only festivals or any concerts?

Preferably Festivals - will probably be a wide enough topic of conversations without adding general gigs... however that's a great idea (must go make new thread).

'Tallica, Black Sabbath and Prodigy for Download then - is it just me or are they announcing very quickly, possibly to get in before Soni and get more ticket sales? Should be alright though, Prodigy will be awesome.

Exciting to see Black Sabbath there. I'm guessing they'll be doing Ozzy-era stuff (would be suicidal or impossible to play Dio era or later methinks)

Alestorm is reason enough for me to go considering how great they were last year (too bad those who saw Limp Bizkit instead :p)

Lol Gojira aren't that bad.

That wasn't supposed to be a shot at Gojira. Was just pointing out that Queen and Gojira are a bit of an... odd combination xD

Well, the stage has plenty of middle ground too (The Darkness) so I think it's not too strange.

When you remember at Soni Apollo and Saturn operate on a 'flip-flop' kinda thing (one plays, then the other, making them essentially equal stages, just allowing less gaps), it does look quite interesting.

Yes, because The Darkness has a long, storied history of making things less strange.
