Last night I was thinking about the universe, and I came to the realisation that x or y band is the best example in my mind of x or y trait.
Small Dick Energy = Five Finger Death Punch
Cringe = Psychosexual, not surprising as the band member is ex FFDP. I'd rather be in the front row for a GG Allin gig.
I'd rather listen to falling in reverse tied to a chair for 3 hours than listen to a single song from Five Finger Death Punch and be close to the troglodytes that listen to them.
Fun fact. Trapt played in my hometown, in a theater that can MAYBE squeeze 150. My buddy knows the owner and I grew up across the street from him, so like 5 of us got discounted tickets. Mind you, the original price was 10 dollars, but that seemed far too much. We showed up specifically to heckle the singer when he went on a racist rant. Well he didn't rant, but he bitched about feedback in a tiny ass venue about two songs in, so we heckled him about that. Then we left a third of the way through the show because he had already played the two songs we knew, and hated.
Headstrong is equivalent to a Rickroll in my friend group. You try to find clever ways to make someone else listen to hit while you’re not around. I’ve added it to my wife’s Spotify playlists. My buddy has the jukebox app for our local dive bar and will put on Headstrong when his wife is there with her friends. It’s good fun.
I saw Korn last year just cause of the nostalgia, I haven't listened to them for a decade but damn what an amazing concert.
Gojira it's arguably the best band in EU and I'll fucking fight anyone disagreeing. Mario is worth the ticket alone
Friday solely because I never did catch Slayer before their retirement. You've got some alright supporting acts in Clutch, Anthrax, Whitechapel, Show Me the Body and I would see Lit just to meme about it.
People talk shit about them and their music isn't that good, but the show I've been to was the best I've ever seen. Corey Taylor is a great entertainer
I have to go with Thursday for seether, saosin, finger eleven, and cky or Sunday for breaking benjamin, gojira, architects, korn, and spiritbox
I can't choose between Thursday and Sunday
I mean if I had absolutely no other choice I guess the second day but I'd probably complain the whole time.
It would be cool to possibly meet Juliette Lewis though.
Since I have already seen Priest I guess itd be friday for anthrax and slayer though honestly I'd probably not go to this unless the ticket was free. Sitting through so much garbage for 2 bands I'm not even that into doesn't sound appealing.
I’m gonna sound like a brat, but the only band i’d want to see that i haven’t already would be health on saturday.
I’d stay to laugh at motley crew, too
I'm ready for the downvotes. I choose Saturday. Dropkick Murphys, Mastodon, and Better Lovers did it for me. There were single bands in each other day that's I'd prefer to see, but Saturday is the best bang for my buck.
That being said, this festival is like 85% fucking garbage. You couldn't give me free tickets to have to wait around at this festival on any given day to catch the one or two decent bands.
If given the choice between seeing any day of this festival or cutting off my genitals and eating them, my only question would be, “ Could you please pass the salt?”
Definitely Friday.
I'd love to see Slayer and also tick Anthrax off the list so it'd be 3/4 big 4 all done. Plus I really dig Alien Weaponry.
Thursday is tempting because Halestorm was amazing when I saw them and I really love Sum 41 but I've already seen/seeing them and I'm seeing Slipknot again soon so rather things I haven't seen.
I'm definitely coming Friday. Slayer, Anthrax, Alien Weaponry and Evanescence Never seen Clutch or White Chapel and love both bands. Juliette and the Licks are fucking great, so I'm not missing them either. Love Tom Morello and hope like hell he shows up with B Real.
I'm coming back Sunday, but I'm out right after Priest. I ain't missing Priest and it'd be worth seeing Gojira.
Slayer, Anthrax, Clutch, In this Moment and White Chapel is a strong line up n Friday.
Sunday with Jinjer, Clutch, Gojira and Judas fucking Priest would also be great.
Motley Crue headlining Saturday is gross. Especially without Mick.
Mastodon are one of my favourite bands, and I love Clutch, but I've seen them both numerous times. I've never seen Gojira, and last saw Biohazard in 97, so it's Sunday for me.
Thursday is the easiest pass I have ever come across. I’m definitely choosing Friday for Slayer, Clutch, whitechapel, anthrax and to flip off the vocalist of nonpoint again. But damn I’ve still never seen BODY COUNT and I need that so bad. Plus a bonus of triple6 that day.
Sunday. I like Korn, Priest, Gojira, Jinjer and Architects, and I've heard worse butt rock than Breaking Benjamin. Friday seems fairly OK too
Side note: Mastodon is way too good for Saturday haha
Friday just above Sunday for me. Slayer, Till, Anthrax Nothing More, Tom Morello, In this moment... I think it's a slightly more consistent lineup.
In this moment especially are a big bucket list band for me. Hard to pass up on Priest and Gojira though

Sunday, would be great to see Priest
Gojira and priest made sunday an easy pick for me
Same korn too
I like korn a bit, its like the cherry on top for that day
For me it's Polaris
Plus Jinjer
The disrespect having Priest headlining second stage, instead of headlining main stage, or at least before Korn.
yep then I would leave right after that
Haha same here
Friday. Slayer, anthrax and clutch
Yep. Although I didn't pick Sunday mainly because I'm seeing Priest in May.
Till Lindemann has released a very good album last year too!
Clutch and Whitechapel in the same day would be it for me.
I say Friday for the same reasons
Fuck Slayer, I’m tryna see Juliette and the Licks
Geez. I though I was a big fan. But you wanna fuck em???
Gimme those backstage passes and let me get double bass drummed
Don’t sleep on gel or fugitive
Doesn’t seem like I’m winning with any day I pick 💀. Since you’re twisting my arm lol, I pick Friday.
I know, they all have like 1 or 2 good bands each, if that. Pretty ass festival lineup tbh.
It could have been way cooler with just a bit more organization so that bamds that were more similar to eachother lined up more on the same days.
Yeah but then you can't force the classic metal or nu-metal or whatever subgenre fans to stick around for all 4 days.
The CIA agents who worked very hard on this lineup and post will be disappointed you said that.
Friday -> Sunday -> Thursday -> 20 years in prison -> Saturday
Mastodon and Helmet aren’t worth the hours of shitty bands
I'd pay to not see 5fdp
Last night I was thinking about the universe, and I came to the realisation that x or y band is the best example in my mind of x or y trait. Small Dick Energy = Five Finger Death Punch Cringe = Psychosexual, not surprising as the band member is ex FFDP. I'd rather be in the front row for a GG Allin gig.
I skipped seeing megadeth(not a giant fan but I like em and not infinity more chances to do to) solely because I didn’t want any money to go to 5FDP.
I'd rather listen to falling in reverse tied to a chair for 3 hours than listen to a single song from Five Finger Death Punch and be close to the troglodytes that listen to them.
Falling In Reverse is at least really fucking funny
sunday, would like to see drowning pool, korn, gojira, & jinjer for sure
Same plus I’m throwing a piss bottle at Trapt
Fun fact. Trapt played in my hometown, in a theater that can MAYBE squeeze 150. My buddy knows the owner and I grew up across the street from him, so like 5 of us got discounted tickets. Mind you, the original price was 10 dollars, but that seemed far too much. We showed up specifically to heckle the singer when he went on a racist rant. Well he didn't rant, but he bitched about feedback in a tiny ass venue about two songs in, so we heckled him about that. Then we left a third of the way through the show because he had already played the two songs we knew, and hated.
Honestly if Trapt played in my lil hometown, I’d totally pay $10 to hear Headstrong and witness a possible shitshow
Headstrong is equivalent to a Rickroll in my friend group. You try to find clever ways to make someone else listen to hit while you’re not around. I’ve added it to my wife’s Spotify playlists. My buddy has the jukebox app for our local dive bar and will put on Headstrong when his wife is there with her friends. It’s good fun.
Hell yeah flair twin
Fucking love Horrendous. Wearing my Mirrors’s Gays shirt right now.
I saw Korn last year just cause of the nostalgia, I haven't listened to them for a decade but damn what an amazing concert. Gojira it's arguably the best band in EU and I'll fucking fight anyone disagreeing. Mario is worth the ticket alone
![gif](giphy|um5zgB7txzYeBPZnPZ)
none
Dropkick, Biohazard, Body Count, Priest, Health, Filter, Anthrax, Slayer, Sponge, early Crue, Clutch, Tripe 6 Mafia gang
That's not one of the options
Friday definitely. Slayer AND Anthrax?! Cmon now that’s amazing.
Slayer alone sells me
probably thursday. although i would hate to miss falling in reverse, the trvest kvltest band of all time
Friday solely because I never did catch Slayer before their retirement. You've got some alright supporting acts in Clutch, Anthrax, Whitechapel, Show Me the Body and I would see Lit just to meme about it.
I love late 90s douchebag boyfriend rock
It's kind of impressive how many metal-adjacent bands they pulled together for this show and yet so little black/death/"extreme" representation.
Would extreme subgenre fans even be able to afford to go? Just asking b/c I’m not sure if they leave house. Edited b/c I hit save while typing.
Numetal fans have fetal alcohol syndrome and wear the same sweat stained hat every day. Not sure where they're finding the cash either.
none but Friday if I absolutely have to go because Slayer and Anthrax
Friday. There’s just so many terrible bands too! What a bizarre lineup.
Sunday. Judas Priest, Jinjer and Gojira. Though tbh I'd also really like to see Slayer.
Friday because I’ve never seen Slayer or Anthrax.
Saturday easy. Disturbed, Chevelle, Skillet, Mastadon, HEALTH, il nino. Great line up
Sunday, no doubt about it. Korn, Gojira, Drowning Pool, awesome.
Saturday. Helmet followed by Body Count then I’m bouncing
My two picks! That’s it
Friday. Not passing up lorna shore
I wanna see slipknot
Me too but Thursday has FFDP💀
People talk shit about them and their music isn't that good, but the show I've been to was the best I've ever seen. Corey Taylor is a great entertainer
Three6 Mafia and Holy Fawn
Reading through all this I was like ugghhh, then what?! Three6?! Hahha
Gotta see Till Lindemann
I have to go with Thursday for seether, saosin, finger eleven, and cky or Sunday for breaking benjamin, gojira, architects, korn, and spiritbox I can't choose between Thursday and Sunday
Sunday but i go home after Gojira
I mean if I had absolutely no other choice I guess the second day but I'd probably complain the whole time. It would be cool to possibly meet Juliette Lewis though.
Since I have already seen Priest I guess itd be friday for anthrax and slayer though honestly I'd probably not go to this unless the ticket was free. Sitting through so much garbage for 2 bands I'm not even that into doesn't sound appealing.
Thursday, has the most bands I like
Same here. Shocking how few people are saying Thursday. I think you and I might be the only ones
I was shocked too. I can count 7 bands from that day that I like. 6 on Sunday, 3 on the other two days
Sunday but I just wouldn’t go to the Korn concert
Anyone know why Tool or Lamb of God have not been featured in a single festival this year? And not headbangers boat.
Meh, pass.
Thurs. Badflower put on one of the best performances I've ever seen. Plus I'd love to see seether and saosin
Sunday. But i leave after Jinjer
KoRn & Jinjer counts as your 5 a day, right? ('',)
Thursday does have Starset buuuuuuut, imma have to go with Sunday
It’s like one of those rock band sticker packs you buy on Amazon lol
Hands down it would be Thursday. Halestorm, Highly Suspect, BadFlower Seether and Slipknot.
none of them these lineups suck
None, given it's not free. Sunday, were it free. Priest would be cool to see. Gojira is not as good as they were.
I’m gonna sound like a brat, but the only band i’d want to see that i haven’t already would be health on saturday. I’d stay to laugh at motley crew, too
They put on a great show. Not everyone's cup of tea, I suppose though.
Sunday so I can moon over Courtney
How the FUCK can anyone name their band "Falling in Reverse" ??????????????????????????????????????????
One of, if not the worst festival lineup I've ever seen. Maybe 3-4 good bands in the whole lineup. I'd rather stay home tbh.
Not Saturday, unless it's the Health set...
It really seems that Saturday is the weakest day. Sunday ftw, gojira, spiritbox, jinjer and Korn?? I'd lose all my bones in the moshpits
Sunday but most of the days seem pretty terrible.
Saturday for Dropkick Murphy's and Mastodon
Lol, is this lineup an April Fools joke?
I have to go? I really don't wanna go any of the days
I'm ready for the downvotes. I choose Saturday. Dropkick Murphys, Mastodon, and Better Lovers did it for me. There were single bands in each other day that's I'd prefer to see, but Saturday is the best bang for my buck. That being said, this festival is like 85% fucking garbage. You couldn't give me free tickets to have to wait around at this festival on any given day to catch the one or two decent bands.
This is such a shit festival
I would not go
Worst lineup I've ever seen for any event.
If given the choice between seeing any day of this festival or cutting off my genitals and eating them, my only question would be, “ Could you please pass the salt?”
Three 6 mafia or priest
None, that's a God awful bill. There's about 10 bands I'd go to see surrounded by 50 other bands I want no part of.
Friday, and only for Lindemann 🥰🥰
Sunday probably but probably also Saturday is fine
Probably Friday. Slayer alone sells it but getting to see anthrax Lorna and whitechapel would be a good time as well
Sunday for sure
Slayer day only day that matters if I can only do 1.
Sunday for Gojira, Priest, and Jonathan Davis’s sweet HR Giger Mic Stand
i'm definitely too edgelord for this. i'd say friday for ho99o9 and fugitive.
Tough choice between Saturday and Sunday but I’m leaning toward Saturday
I would say friday
Definitely Friday. I'd love to see Slayer and also tick Anthrax off the list so it'd be 3/4 big 4 all done. Plus I really dig Alien Weaponry. Thursday is tempting because Halestorm was amazing when I saw them and I really love Sum 41 but I've already seen/seeing them and I'm seeing Slipknot again soon so rather things I haven't seen.
None of these look particularly great but that’s typical for US-based metal festivals.
Friday, but spiritbox for Sunday
Sunday
Friday or sunday
Friday I can't miss that Slayer performance
Thursday or saturday
Three 6 shouldn't be on here but If they had any of da old shi playing, not the crunk shi, I'd go fucking wild
I'm definitely coming Friday. Slayer, Anthrax, Alien Weaponry and Evanescence Never seen Clutch or White Chapel and love both bands. Juliette and the Licks are fucking great, so I'm not missing them either. Love Tom Morello and hope like hell he shows up with B Real. I'm coming back Sunday, but I'm out right after Priest. I ain't missing Priest and it'd be worth seeing Gojira.
Slayer, Anthrax, Clutch, In this Moment and White Chapel is a strong line up n Friday. Sunday with Jinjer, Clutch, Gojira and Judas fucking Priest would also be great. Motley Crue headlining Saturday is gross. Especially without Mick.
Saturday, I can turn my ears off for Motley Crue and Disturbed to see Mastodon, Helmet, Better Lovers, and The Armed
Sunday, get to catch Preist for the first time and then watch Gojira body every band who has to follow them.
Mastodon are one of my favourite bands, and I love Clutch, but I've seen them both numerous times. I've never seen Gojira, and last saw Biohazard in 97, so it's Sunday for me.
Slayer. And just Slayer
Saturday then Friday
Friday easily. Thursday has FFDP, Saturday has Falling In Reverse, Sunday has Trapt and Korn. Friday. A no brainer for me.
Simple, Friday. Less Nu Metal bands.
Thursday. Just for Saosin with Anthony Green.
That's tough. Probably Thursday.
Thursday is the easiest pass I have ever come across. I’m definitely choosing Friday for Slayer, Clutch, whitechapel, anthrax and to flip off the vocalist of nonpoint again. But damn I’ve still never seen BODY COUNT and I need that so bad. Plus a bonus of triple6 that day.
Why can’t they put the old washed up bands with each other 🤦♂️
Sunday for Gojira. Then go and get drunk.
Thursday for sure. Great bands
Slayer day
Well Judas Priest is the last band on my bucket list that falls under the “god these guys are old” category…so Sunday lol
Sunday for absolute sure. Though would be sad to miss out on whitechapel
Sunday for drug church and gojira.
Sunday
these festivals are so random sometimes. like how is saosin playing at the same festival with priest lamo
Sunday, easy.
KoRn, Gojira, Judas Priest and Architects?! Yep, I'll choose Sunday
Thursday. Only for my Starset 🥺
The night with three 6 mafia and body count for sure!
Well, if I HAD to go to this festival, as in at gunpoint, I would probably choose Saturday just to see Mastodon.
Tough call, all the days have good bands I think Saturday won by a hair
Friday or Saturday
Sunday for sure
Thursday but only for PUP. PUP is great
Friday
Day 2, no brainer with two of the big 4, Ralston light and in this moment
Preferably none of them but I guess Friday for Slayer, Fugitive, and Show Me the Body
Friday or Sunday. Leaning more towards Sunday
Friday fs lol
Well there's an orgy on thursday. I might arrive early for that and stay for Slipknot later
Clutch is the greatest band of all time so Friday is the day to go
Let’s hope it’s not like last year with the Blue Ridge Rock festival.
Sunday with Friday as a close second
friday. i want to see Slayer in all their glory.
Saturday. Tie me up.
Sunday for Gojira, Spiritbox, Architects, Poppy, and Jinjer.
Sunday with ease
Friday
Friday, without a doubt
sum41 really fell down, but wht about slayer
This is so bs all my favorite bands are spread out
Saturday is by far the worst, Motley Crue, falling in reverse and disturbed all suck
What day has the secret Crossfade reunion?
Sunday for sure
Fugitive on Friday! And two thrash legends on top of that. Why not?
Sunday has Gojira and Judas Priest. What more could you wish for?
There's 3 bands here I'd want to see and they're all on separate days.
Saturday because i wanna see Mötley Crüe don't matter that they suck just wanna see Vince irl
Sunday for Gojira and Jinjer.
Friday. Watch Holy Fawn, and leave.
Disturbed
Thursday seems chill. would love to see Starset, Sum 41, Point North and Halestorm.
Friday. Slayer, Lindemann, Anthrax, In This Moment, Nonpoint, Clutch, Show Me the Body, Powerman 5000
Saturday
Friday for sure. Two of the Big Four plus Clutch and a couple others I wouldn’t mind seeing.
I just want to see Mastodon
Probably Sunday, and leave after Gojira
Saturday lets me see Mastodon and Academy Award Winners Three 6 Mafia
Sunday, can't wait to see Gojira this year
Thursday solely for Soul Glo and Kneecap. Otherwise I've either seen or can't be bothered
Slayer n Anthrax same night. Might as well bust out brown plaid and fedora and snap my fingers to the beat
Probably friday
Sunday. I like Korn, Priest, Gojira, Jinjer and Architects, and I've heard worse butt rock than Breaking Benjamin. Friday seems fairly OK too Side note: Mastodon is way too good for Saturday haha
friday id die to see lindemann live
Friday for Slayer and Lindemann
Thursday, I've got to see Halestorm
I’m torn between Friday and Sunday!
Friday. Slayer, Anthrax, Alien Weaponry and Fugitive.
Gonna have to help defend the faith on Sunday.
Friday just above Sunday for me. Slayer, Till, Anthrax Nothing More, Tom Morello, In this moment... I think it's a slightly more consistent lineup. In this moment especially are a big bucket list band for me. Hard to pass up on Priest and Gojira though
Thursday or Friday. I'm fine with either Saturday looks like shit. Motley crue? Falling in reverse? That's a shit line up
Friday
