The Metal Festivals season is started !
And one of my fav is the "Bang Your Head" in Germany
(Balingen).
The fest started in 1996 in Tübingen with about 600 people ; since that,
he has grown and moved in Balingen, with about 18 000 people (a sold out
edition in 2005 – 20 000 - with Twisted Sister).
It’s a hard rock and heavy festival, with a very nice atmosphere, nice
shops, good food and drinks, and, of course, very good bands ! Since the 1st
edition, Wasp, Dio, Motorhead, Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Gotthard, Doro, Slayer,
Judas Priest, Accept, Saxon,In Flames and many others have played there.
I’ve personally discovered Crazy Lixx, Rebellious Spirit and Sister
thanks to this very friendly fest.
2 scenes: a big one outdoor and a smaller indoor (there is also a Warm up the day before the festival starts).
2 campings : one next
to the festival site, and one about 4 km
from it, well served by a free bus.
This year, we can see Twisted Sister, Europe, Anthrax, Axel Rudy Pell,
Unisonic, Kissin’ Dynamite, and many more !!
