I had almost written this off but with Judas Priest, Ozzy and Scorpions added I'm now very interested. It's nicely positioned between Download and Sonisphere UK so I expect we get a good mix from both those festivals.

Seems unlikely but I'm hoping System of a Down get added!

I was at Graspop this year and it's a really great festival.
The only thing putting me off going back next year is the weather.
I know this sounds weird but it was just too hot. I was so exhausted from the heat and couldn't really enjoy any bands during the day because it was so roasting.:o

Yeah, I went in 2008 and 2009, great festival... 2008 especially had an amazing lineup. Opted for Download this year... but Graspop may sway me back next summer.

Whitesnake confirmed, down to play on the Saturday which is a big odd as there is already big names Ozzy and Priest playing on that day.

Regardless, lineup is shaping up very nice.

Saturday looks brilliant.

Friday
Journey, Foreigner, FM

Saturday

Absolute bizzareness that Volbeat are ahead of Whitesnake, Journey and Foreigner on the website banner.

Just an administrative oversight

Line up's looking really awful at the minute, seems to be getting worse year after year. Really hope it improves over the coming weeks.
Had been keen on Hellfest for a while, until I realised that pretty much every band I want to see is playing the Sunday, so no point going really, as there'll too many clashes.
Hoping some of the following bands playing Hellfest, get announced for Graspop: Anathema, Therion, Turisas, Korpiklaani, Black Label Society & especially Pain of Salvation. It'll be my 9th Graspop if I go. Also hoping for a few more good announcement at Bloodstock!

Hitting Hellfest myself this year! :D:D
