hellfest lineup taking shape
 

So i went to hellfest last year and it was one of most fun times ever. I was really iffy this year due to them adding taking back sunday as one of the headliners. As of now though the lineup is starting to look really good.

typo. Fixed it.

Not a bad starting lineup. Far too many bands I've never heard of though...

and theres still is 139 more to be announced. I heard that Earth Crisis is supposed to be playing a reunion show.

It'd be nice if bands could just stay split up for once...

Wow that's a sick lineup. Beats the hell out of last year's lineup.

Nile and Suffocation \m/

That is an awesome line-up but there's some weird inclusions on there like Gym Class Heroes and The Early November or Armor For Sleep.
Don't get me wrong, I love all three of those bands but it's just weird.
