it's a fucking setlist, you'll still have just as much fun seeing them regardless. Assuming you even go... :-?
whoever appeals to the forum rules against his fellow man is either a pussy or a troll.. whoever can not restrain himself without that rule is both. for a butthurt man shall say to his spoiler, "if I see this setlist, I will kill you. If they dont play those songs, you are forgiven."
So this was my second time seeing volbeat. The venue sold out and by the time Trivium went on most of the crowd was drunk as hell. Digital Summer was generic octane rock. Trivium was great aside from the weak setlist. Volbeat killed it. The crowd was beyond rowdy. Way too many drunks for my liking but overall the show kicked ass!

I've been lost in endless seas
My heart died long ago
I curse my failures as I fall from you
First band was Kvelertak. I’ve known about this band for a while but have never actually taken the time to listen to them, but going in I assumed they were good because blackened rock ‘n’ roll sounds cool. And it was. If you haven’t heard Kvelertak yet, they’re kinda like a Norwegian Andrew W.K. with black metal influences. They were pretty fun live. The first song they played felt like it had an extended intro and the singer performed the song with some sort of mask that had a whole owl on it, so that was cool. After that, they were just jamming on some rockin’ tunes and were tons of fun. The singer has really good presence and the guitarists are good. I was surprised the one playing the most leads was playing with no pick. I don’t get why some people decide to play without a pick but he sounded fine so whatever. Overall, Kvelertak were fun and I’d be down to see ‘em again.
Next up was Gojira. This was my third time seeing them and it was a blast yet again. Once they came on, it was apparent a good amount of the crowd was super pumped to see Gojira and might’ve been the main draw for them, because people were going hard during their set. These guys have incredible presence and their live sound is heavy as hell. The set was about what I would expect from a Gojira opening set, but it’s still always a blast to hear songs like Heaviest Matter Of The Universe, Backbone, and Flying Whales. You can probably guess which album of theirs is my favorite… I thought it was really cool that they brought out some old tunes, they were super heavy. And the extended jam during the last song was awesome. Overall, Gojira are always a fun live band.

Next up was the almighty Mastodon. This was now 8th time seeing them, and this performance was up there with some of the best. I was trying to avoid the setlist because I like to be surprised when I see Mastodon, but the first two songs were spoiled for me when I opened a thread on another forum I go on. But seeing Hearts Alive and Divinations on there made me super pumped and I was under the impression the setlist was gonna be really good, and boy was I right. This is probably the most impressive setlist Mastodon has put together in a while if you wanna hear deepcuts. Yet again, Mastodon sounded great live. Their vocals are as good as ever if you ask me. Only thing bad I can say is I couldn’t hear Brent too well, but that’s mostly due to the fact that I was on Bill’s side of the stage during the set. Hearts Alive was awesome to experience again, as it’s my favorite Masto-tune, even if it’s kinda weird as an opener. But I went HAM during part before the first verse and the solo section. It’s such an epic song. Divinations was awesome to hear again since they haven’t played it since 2010 I don’t think. After those two songs it was all surprises for me so when I heard the intro for Crusher Destroyer I went full school-girl mode and lost it. And from there they were just playing banger after banger. The set was just such a good mix of tunes, I really coulda only asked for more Remission. But hearing them jam Bladecatcher, Trample Under Hoof, Siberian Divide, and Naked burn was just amazing. I would’ve never guessed they’d bust out those tunes. And getting standard tunes like Capillarian Crest, Crystal Skull, Megalodon, Aqua Dementia and Oblivion is always tight. I really liked the sound of the new song, Chimes At Midnight. There were some really sweet harmonized leads and the main riff is pretty heavy. High Road was also enjoyable too. Something funny I noted is they had lyrics printed out for the new ones near the monitors. And like people have mentioned, having The Sparrow as a closer is little bit of a mood killer, but I can’t complain because this setlist was so impressive. Overall, Mastodon delivered yet again. I think the best time to see Mastodon is right before they release a new album and right after the new album comes out, because they pull out a lot of the goodies.

idk something about them was just mediocre. only one I possibly would have picked up if I had more to spend was the camo carcass shirt.
gorguts didnt even have colored sands on vinyl.
Night Verses - I was pretty blown away by this band, they got the crowd pumped very quickly.
The Safety Fire - Worst band of the night, the singer sounded like shit.

Goatwhore - I was over them and ready for their set to end after 2 songs.
1349 - Good fucking lord, I'm not sure what to think about their set, but it was insane.
Behemoth - Flat out the best set I've seen from any band this year, Nergal is a master at working the crowd. Orion and Inferno are fucking monsters.
