Download 2009?

Wacken is great because:

Its all metal...no shite pretending to be metal
Its £70 not £170
Organisation is brilliant: Toilets, showers are all hygenic and cleaned
Everyone is a metal head, not a emo/indy/trendyboy etc
The Biergarten is open from 7am til 6am
Headbangers Ballroom
The Metal Market
the atmosphere is brilliant, no one steals from your tent, and your not sleeping in shite..

The bands may not be as premier (ie this year Dony had Crue and Maiden, Wacken didnt really have the top headliner: reformed Immortal, In Flames, Blind Guardian) but the crack and atmosphere is far nicer...

Give me Wacken every time!

Cool.

Sounds like it's typically German. I.e very efficently run.

I just had fun re-reading a post from around about this time last year announcing rumours from MetalHammer that KISS were doing Download 2007. Have a look further down the list. Doesn't time fly when you haven't had any fun.

Kiss to headline friday with Judas Priest...



(quite a reliable source)

Maiden are confirmed for Wacken:

I am going with No 1 son and a few mates on a road trip through Belgium and Germany. Avantasia (hopefully with Eric Singer, who usually does their drums) are also playing.

The Priest/Kiss Download rumour is everywhere, I pray it's right - I just can't see Priest playing 2nd fiddle to Kiss. Other headliners are supposed 2 be Slipsnot and Lost Prophets. Neither excite me - but I will probably go.

Anyone got any confirmation yet?

I hope they do day tickets cuz i don'y fancy shelling out £150 just for one band,unless Sabbat play then it'll be worth it

I read on Blabbermouth the other day that Judas Preist are set to play Download. Nothing menshunned abou Kiss though.

Oh and yeh, I want a day tiket to. Not paying 150 just for the prividg of standing in a field for Kiss, no matter how much I luv the band!!!

[w00dy]

Probably won't be day tickets available,i don't think they were last year either.

They just wanna screw us for everything......Bastards!!!

[skinnymartin]

If KISS play I will do the whole 3 days. It is bloody expensive - but it's worth it for KISS, plus it gives a chance ot check out some new live stuff and eat nothing but shit chinese food for 3 days.

I think the tickets were £150 with camping last year.It's not the price of the ticket that bothers me but how much beer money i will need

It could get messy

Anybody need some dishes or sweeping up doing round the house to earn a few extra bucks for this as my good lady Mrs. KMD is not being co-operative
