Friday, July 22 at 2:00pm - July 24 at 12:00pm

Pößneck, Germany

This fest is the reason I intend to skip MDF.

Mercyful Fate?

I don't know if they'd have a band as prominent as MF on this fest, but who knows? Only 1/3 of the bands have been announced.

fuckin' sweet.

I'm a gossip columnist. Satchel Page shot dope in Cuba. I get paid to write rumour.

only german metal fests are real.

Sounds like someone didn't see Black Sabbath, Santana and El Chicano @ Diamond Head

I need help to clean up my pre-cum.

im doing europe with PB in April so I have no $$ for metal fests this summer...next year it is on my agenda 100%

I'm hoping Pagan Altar gets added to this or Headbanger's Open Air. Both fests are a week apart from one another.

OBLITERATION and NEKROMANTHEON at Hell's Pleasure 2011.

"BLACK OATH from Italy and MAIM from Sweden will be playing at HP 2011."

what's the nearest airport? german airfare prices are fucking retarded...

I believe Leipzig. Then you've got to train it from there. The problem with these open-air festivals is that they're always in the middle of fucking nowhere.

That's what I've been searching for a destination....round trip starts at about $1500. The agony is that the fest is only like 40 euros with stupid cheap camping.

35 Euros, camping included.

It's less expensive if you fly to Dublin (roughly $1000) and then fly Ryan Air (which services within Europe) to Germany. Cheap as fuck prices.

how much is the train to the fest?

got my pace on........really thinking about this.

If you're seriously considering going, we should travel together. Traveling in groups definitely helps with train/ taxi/ hostel costs. I plan to hit Headbanger's Open Air the weekend after this.

keep it true fest in the spring

KIT lineup isn't blowing my hair back, and there's nothing else going on around the same time.

Would kill to see Metalucifer, though.

"ASCENSION will play an exclusive festival show at Hell's Pleasure 2011. Their concept album "Consolamentum" is one of the most impressive German BM releases lately."
