Decent, if classical, line-up. With Jambinai  , Rammstein and Solefald (among others)...Also, HF is sold-out now. One day tickets will be sold in January or something. BTW, Ben Barbaud (HF's mainman) said in an interview that the third headliner wouldn't be Iron Maiden this year - would make them too similar to Download - but talks were in progress for 2017. In the same interview (I think) he also said that PAradise Lost would play Draconian Times and King Diamond would play Abigail. Wait and see then... Rumors keep buzzing about Metallica.

More of the same, have the impression all the bands are rotating on a 2-3 year basis (or less). Few nice exceptions I like would be Solefald or King Dude. Interesting to see that Thrash has been relegated to the tents (expect 3/4 of Big 4) and even more "big mainstream acts", which probably continues the trent towards Wacken-like fest (if they aren't there already).

These festivals lack Doom Metal too. There was only a few at Hellfest 2014, and most were Stoner Doom. I don't remember any being at Wacken 2006? I'm aiming for smaller festivals next time i visit Europe. Most of the bands you want to see clash anyway.
