apparently there are another 16 bands to be announced yet too. Looks like it may be worth going to

I will be there with my knickers in the air.

Good thing about this festival is that its at Butlins That means for the price, you get to see 40 bands and you get accomodation too!!!! All for £125

I may have to scrip for this one as well. I wouldn't mind seeing Girlschool again, or a couple other bands for that matter.

I would really like to see Fastway.

Perfect place for Cradle of Filth to play

i will deffo be attending this one!

Ain't it in Minehead (ie - SOMERSET)???

Aye, tis! At last somerset will have some decent metal bands playing down ther (oh, and cradle of filth)

yeha, i think i'll be going to this, but Symphony X is on the same friday night, which I'm NOT missing, for anything

Minehead seems like a bit of a crappy venue though, I mean, it's a total shit hole, and pretty damn far from any big towns!

Yeah, its soooo bad, billy butlin has had his most succesful holiday camp there for years joking aside, i went to an 80s weekend there earlier this year, and butlins is the perfect place to hold a festival like this as it has the halls, pa, bars and experience of mass band music events, plus all the accomidation within yards of the venues, so no worries about mud, rain, snow or wind like at other festivals

There's not one band on this lineup I'm remotely interested in

Not to mention the three breakfasts each day! Even a fat bastard like me could only manage two.

pussy!!!! What Ian is referring to, is when i went to butlins earlier in the year, over the 3 days i ate the equivalent monetary value in food (meals were included) at cafe prices to the cost of my weekend away, so in effect i got everything else for free

This looks really good, but it's on the same weekend I already have tickets for Heaven & Hell/Iced Earth for Saturday and also seeing Destruction/Onslaught on Friday.
