Has anyone else seen this (now deleted) comment in the Metallica Fifth member (private) group? It was mentioned that on the Saturday Metallica gig Ozzy will be there to play 2 songs with them. I personaly can't believe this but I would be happy if it is/will be a fact.

If anyone's not been made aware here and is still thinking about a day ticket, hurry up, Saturday's are already gone.

Day tickets look to still be available on the website? 4-day arena (no camping) tickets all gone though. Looks like we're definitely heading for a sell-out!

Saturday thing official now, was always gonna happen first.

Not sure this is the place but anyone want a campervan pass. We cannot go and have sold our event passes, and want to sell the campervan pass. Only want face value. Bought through Ticketmaster so can do a transfer.

Aye. Was the day I was plotting but was going to go with my sibling. They dallied too long, so we'll be giving it a miss this time around, alas.

Would love Sky Arts to pull their finger out and give the festival a quality broadcast partner. One day, maybe.

To save you asking, we managed to sell it. Disappointed not to going, but at least someone is going to benefit.

State Champs have announced they're doing a show in London at O2 Islington on the 9th of June.

Could they maybe be added up in the next announcement?

Only just clocked Empire State Bastard are playing the Friday - wonder what stage they’ll rock up on

I’d say nailed on now as an Avalanche headliner.

Thursday looks to be lacking Avalanche bands so maybe that day?

Completely missed this last week, great addition for me that. Do we think this indicates that there’s more to come or they’re just doing it due to lack of venue elsewhere?

Definitely one last band announcement but it won't be many. 10-20 to fill out some gaps.

I think maybe 5-6 for Thursday including Puscifer and then other bands for Avalanche (State Champs?) and Dogtooth. Then probably Amon Amarth on Sunday and someone (maybe Lamb Of God) third down Saturday. Maybe a couple more for Avalanche and Dogtooth across the weekend.

Thursday is listed as opening at midday, subject to change obviously, but seems like we're getting a fullish day

Yeah, I assume that Thursday will be like the Friday usually, with first bands on at 1pm. 

[Spiral_Low]

If they are doing that then with the amount of bands announced at current I think they really might be going for the approach of alternating main and second, at least on the Thursday.
