Rob Zombie, Crossfade, Taproot, 5FDP, Marilyn Manson, August Burns Red, Mushroomhead, Three Days Grace, Drowning Pool, A Killer's Confession, and Raven Black
A Killer’s Confession as well. I’d watch Death Punch if I was there but their sets have been ass lately so I won’t pay to go see them on their own anymore
4/26 - Machine Head/In flames/Lacuna Coil/Unearth 5/2 - Trivium (Ascendency)/Bullet For My Valentine (The Poison)/August Burns Red/Bleed From Within 5/11 - Baroness (Red Album and Blue Record) 5/23 - Nekrogoblikon/Rivers of Nihil/Revocation/Holy Fawn/Inter Arma/Glacial Tomb (happy they combined this Rivers show with the Nekrogoblikon tour because now we get Revocation too, but gonna be pissed if it means we don't still get a full headlining set from Rivers) 6/23 - Hozier 7/22 - Creed/3 Doors Down (birthday tailgate party)
This is actually the most stacked lineup I seen in years. All 3 favorite bands in one festival and everybody else is still all back to back heat. Kentucky is not that far at all….
Thursday looks really good. Every other day has a handful of bands I’d wanna see but too spread out to make me buy a day pass for any other day other than Thursday.
How tf did Lorna Shore get so big? They played a small arena here last year and I went for whitechapel but I was shocked at the amount of people who came to see Lorna Shore. Never understood the hype. They got a couple good songs but I hate how everything has to be epic with a lot of orchestral shit. Just write a heavy ass song without all the extra bullshit.

Yea they have like a million monthly listeners on Spotify which for Deathcore is unheard of. Shocked me too, I never thought any kind of Extreme Metal could break into the mainstream like that. A lot of it has to do wit Will Ramos and bitches being thirsty for him lmao, the power of a frontman. The orchestral shit is fine wit me but my problem wit them is there’s simply too much going on on a lot of their songs, it becomes a kind of “wall of sound” and loses structure, and that’s even while listening on top of the line equipment and being able to differentiate all the different sources. It’s quite literally over produced. They have a lot of dope catchy synth lines where I feel it would greatly benefit the record if it were a bit more stripped down and gave those more of a focus and spotlight.
Idk maybe that’s what makes them stand out to their fans but it’s just kind of overkill to me. Seems like every song has to be “epic.” I watched about half their set before leaving to beat the traffic.
Pretty much all of those bands hit the festivals every single year lol.
I've seen MAD of those bands multiple times.
Looks fun, but idk if it would be worth the cost. I actually prefer 1/2 the fest to be ass because I hate picking stuff i gotta miss.
Good God is there a single fucking thing that you don’t hate on and look for the down side? You are literally new MC.
Every fucking touring artist and band hit the festivals every single year, what’s your point? This many being available at the same time same place all in the same weekend and having nonstop heat without much filler is the difference. Context matters. They do LTL every year, have had some of these bands before, yet this is instantly being called the best lineup they’ve ever done. There’s a reason for that. I hit multiple festivals every year but this would be the first since prolly like Lolla 2016 where it would constantly be someone I wanted to see and running from stage to stage without any standing around to blow time in between. That’s the definition of stacked and how it should be.
