Thanks for posting the link....Bob Dylan, Guns and Roses, Deftones, Hatesphere, ranchy.........yeah well there is a long list, lots of good stuff. I was told that this is one of the biggest shows in Europe, any evidence to back that up? Whats that? You're a huge loser if you don't go? 
im not coming. but the band list this year has a lot of famous artist on it. its just that these artist arent really any of my favorites.
earthshaker festival in germany looks cool though. a lot of metal.
