[Dark One]

Ugh... 2008 is definitely not shaping up well for this fest.

 

[War Ensemble]

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't over 1/3 of the current lineup bands from Germany?

BRAINSTORM
DARK FORTRESS
HEAVEN SHALL BURN
HELLOWEEN
RAGE
TANKARD

Maybe the next announcement will be Doro or Nena and however many luftballons she can gather with her.

If I remember correctly, Metal Camp were announcing bands up to 3 weeks before the event. This is still WAY too early to decide on Metal Camp. Last summer, Motorhead (the very top headliner) were announced at the last minute. I think Zod texted me that info as I was boarding the plane.

 

[General Zod]

Yeah... it's a frustrating festival to follow. Perhaps my expectations are too high, because Glenn (ProgPower) has us spoiled, in terms of being kept informed and with locking down his bands very early on. That said, unless there's a drastic change, it looks like 2009 will be the year for Metal Camp.
