No Oceans of Sadness? I thought they played every year. That band rules.

The Saturday lineup is the best day. Friday isn't bad but it's uneven.

Would totally go on that Saturday, but... Y'know. Priest and Whitesnake back to back? Goddamn.

Of course you'd find goat posting in an avenged sevenfold thread.
