The European Festivals Thread


DFF

Recommended Posts

We have individual threads for a bunch of UK fests, but I thought it best to create a catch all one for those in mainland Europe.

Hellfest

(19 - 21 June, Clisson, France)

Made it's main announcement earlier this week, confirming over 120 acts.

Whilst the headliners are a step down from last year (Iron Maiden, Aerosmith and Black Sabbath), I think it is a fun line-up. I did a quick skim of the line-up and found 33 bands I'd watch, without delving into the numerous I don't know. It is a bit of a trek to get there, but last year was amazing so is under serious consideration again.

Rock am Ring

(5 - 7 June at Nürburgring racetrack, Germany)

Confirmed Headliners: Foo Fighters, Die Toten Hosen, Slipknot.

Also confirmed: Rise Against, In Flames, Papa Roach, Motörhead, Callejon, Lamb Of God, Asking Alexandria, Kraftklub, Donots, Skindred, Broilers, Beatsteaks, Parkway Drive, Turbostaat, Trailerpark, Frank Turner and The Sleeping Souls.

(25 - 28 June, at Werchter, Belgium)

Confirmed headliner: Foo Fighters.

Roskilde

(1 - 4 July, at Roskilde, Denmark)

Confirmed acts: Lamb of God, Mew, Suspekt, Rustie, Dixon, Dolomite Minor, Khaira Arby, Kronos Quartet, Tombs.

Hellfest for me. I went in 2009 and it was amazing. Spent the whole weekend booked up watching the bands I wanted. That's never happened before,

Headliners are ok for me, but it's all about the small bands, I've got about 20-30 great bands to watch there.
