This looks to be a great lineup, so I'm already looking forward to next year (even though this year's festival is not yet finished). Also, it appears as if Delain is not fully back together, as Charlotte does not seem to be returning. As far as I can tell, a new singer has not yet been...

Just goes to show how messed up the visa system is if over seven months isn't enough to get things straightened out. Sadly, I'm guessing this won't be the only act that might have to back out/postpone due to visa issues.

Not sure what to think about this. On the one hand, Xmas Eve and Other Stories is consistently the best album they've done live. However, I saw them return to that album two years ago and it wasn't quite the same as it was before they went on to the other TSO albums. It wasn't a bad...

Unfortunately, we can now add Eric Wagner, the former lead singer of Trouble, to the list. Eric Wagner, Legendary Trouble/Skull Frontman dead at 62

Seventh Wonder--Welcome to Atlanta Live (PPUSA XV, 2014): They preformed Mercy Falls in its entirety. This was released as a CD/DVD combo that also included Not on DVD, but Serious Black recorded their PPUSA XVII (2016) set, and included it as a bonus disc on their Magic CD.

This is awesome news!!! I've always enjoyed seeing Judas Priest live, and it is a treat to see Sabaton play a shed, which you usually don't get to see in the U.S. True, Sabaton will only be doing an opening set, but hopefully, they'll be able to bring the tank along.

As a fan of Iced Earth and Demons & Wizards, I'm sad to see this happen, as I know it means the end of both bands. As a supporter of law and order (not the so-called supporter who wants to see all BLM protestors in jail while the capitol rioters go free), I hope he gets some jail time to think...

Thanks very much for the update. June is usually better for me, as I teach at a local college in the fall, and going to this festival plus my normal daily schedule is becoming murder on my system as I get older, especially for those years when I've attended all four days. Thanks to all of...

Perfectly understandable given the circumstances. Interesting the festival will now be in June. Would this become a permanent move? Or would a PPUSA in 2023 go back September? Or is it WAAAY too early for decisions like that? :)

I can't seem to get the hyberlink function working, so feel free to cut and paste the following story concern into your browser. https://loudwire.com/iced-earth-jon-schaffer-pro-trump-mob-capitol-photo/ I'll stay away from the political commentary about the mob other than to say that people...

I cannot seem to get the "insert link function to work, so I'll simply past the URL. http://bravewords.com/news/eddie-van-halen-loses-cancer-battle-dead-at-65 I knew it would be a rough year when it started with the loss of Neil Peart, but this one also hurts quite a bit. I'd hate to...

Agreed. Aside from Neil Peart,--a punch to the gut--another one that really hurt was losing Brian Howe (Bad Company lead singer in the late 80's and early 90's)

Another tough loss for me, as I remember just how good Banali was on the two best albums WASP ever released: Headless Children and Crimson Idol. In the latter, he was certainly channeling Keith moon in terms of the drum fills, which helped make that album stand out. RIP...

This may be a cop-out but you may want to check out their Greatest Hits set Decade, which is a two-CD set that nicely covers their entire career as of 2018, usually with about 2 or 3 songs per album, including some of their longer, epic songs. Their live albums are also pretty good, especially...

I agree with you on the Facebook a-holes. What they don't realize (or don't care) is that if the festival is cancelled before the right time, that is it for the festival--not only for this year or next year, but forever. As it is, Glenn is probably going to be struggling to put on next year's...
