Some bands here look pretty mighty, mainly Katatonia and Benediction...shame it's at the NEC, truely a shite venue for bands like these...

Wow Anvil, Saxon and Blaze Bayley, what a great underrated heavy metal night that should be.

The problem with events like this, is that you need to sort out accommodation for two or three nights - and that costs a lot of money. More than the tickets and travel expenses themselves.

Just bring a sleeping bag, a pillow and a whole lot of blankets and sleep in the car. That's at least everything I would need for accomodation. And an info about safe areas of the city.

In an old Mini? It's a bit cramped. Especially if I go with someone.
