France, Clisson - Hellfest Open Air 2013

So here they are, the first confirmed bands.

And they're not amazing...

I'm not gonna play the stupid guy too close-minded. It was, of course, not what I was expecting, but some bands are cool, I'm thinking about Haemorrhage, God Seed, Cryptopsy, Carpathian Forest... And I know there are more than 100 bands TBA, so as each year I'll be pleased to see that there will be too many bands I want to see, I'm just fed up to wait...

Great line up as usual. I'm looking forward to see Kiss, Korn, Twisted Sister, Accept, Stone Sour, Bullet For My Valentine, Down, Testament, Cradle Of Filth, Arch Enemy, Avantasia, Volbeat, Marduk, Aura Noir, God Seed, Marduk, Carpathian Forest, Ihsahn, Krisiun etc.
+ 100 bands TBA !!!

Immensely disappointing line-up thus far. No excluisve stuff. All bands you can see on a regular basis in Europe.

My thoughts as well.

The only interesting band so far is Senser. Either my standards are becoming too high or this first announcements sucks indeed.

At The Gates... At last!
Asphyx, Dark Funeral, Absu and Immortal are a good addition too.

Senser, Clutch and Neurosis. Still not good enough.

A cpouple of interesting names added like Dead Congregation... but still way way way way off compared to previous years

I'm unimpressed with this lineup too. Very varied and as always a HUGE number of quality bands, to the point that there are too many to choose from, I think they're trying to throw the kitchen sink in. I think having a lot of great bands and having them play 30-40 minute sets is not a good idea. Also, I just noticed 3 Doors Down over there... strange

My goodness, I am ridiculously excited for this now.
I think I'm going to be bouncing around the coach on the way there.
