So.......any announcements?

Also, were you ever able to find out if Mark Shelton will be fronting Manilla Road?
Hellroadie fronted them at KEEP IT TRUE a week ago or so...

I know one of the final bands and it is a great selection to say the least. Regarding Manilla Road's performance, you got me stumped. I assume whatever members still live in Kansas will be playing.

Well, that's the thing with Manilla Road.
Sometimes Shelton fronts, and other times Hellroadie does.

It will be killer either way, but let's be honest.

EVERYONE would rather see Shelton front the band live.

Well, the flyer is wrong. I have read multiple reviews and seen enough photos which prove that Hellroadie fronted this show. Maybe they did split duties on vocals?

Its weird, because, to the best of my knowledge, Hellroadie has only recorded back up vocals on their studio work.

Shelton is THE voice of Manilla Road.
It would be like going to see Motorhead, and Lemmy still plays bass, but they use someone else to "front" the band.

The Arret Zone is the opening band for Friday night, they will kick the festival off, as for Manilla Road, I've been talking to Bryan "Hellroadie" and he's doing the KCPMF, he has family in Kansas City... Leatherwolf is looking forward to doing the show, they have brought back Mike as the frontman and are doing the 3 guitar attack !!!
