Anyone going to any of the European metal fests this summer. I'm working on going with a friend of mine, but don't have anything set up yet--still checking out the line-ups.

Suggestions for which one we should go to?

if i had $$ i'd try to hit up Wacken Open Air.

Yeah, we were looking at Wacken, and she's been before. The problem is, she won't camp, so we need to go to one where a band we know is playing to get VIP.

UMM/Bitterfeld

Hell's Pleasure

Party San

Brutal Assault

There are a few other decent ones but those are the ones I'm trying to decide between...

Yeah, looks like we're leaning towards Party San now.

party san is a blast

you will be floored by how good the sound is and it is not over crowded like Wacken

has about 15,000

I would love to go to the extreme obscene fest and wacken.
oh and maybe metal camp.

Obscene Extreme is the best I've seen but I haven't seen too many really.

I will go to Wacken someday...

this is the festival i want to go to.

Out of Obscene Extreme,Party San,Brutal Assault, I think OE looks like the better fest. For bands I like anyways

nobody likes that lineup?

that will be a very triumphant festival.

i can't believe y draig goch hasn't commented about the fest i posted.

Hmmm, we still haven't decided. We might go to Brutal Assault or Summer Breeze. Obscene Extreme is too early.

Brutal Assault has a killer lineup with Onslaught, Dismember and more. I really want to see that, yet in the same instance I want to catch Sodom at Wacken, since they're playing a 2-hour 25 year anniversary show with all the old members. If I can afford it, I'll swing both. With Sodom, Grave Digger, Destruction, Possessed... Wacken has one of its strongest lineups in years.
