That does look pretty sweet, i thought Thrice were on an indefinate hiatus though?

 

 

They are, hence why this is a UK exclusive appearance. It's a flabbergasting announcement. There are also rumours abound that From Autumn To Ashes, who have recently reformed, will be on the line-up.

 

 

 

I went to Hevy fest maybe, 3 years ago? Atmosphere was awesome,so many good sets with crowds going wild. The only problem was the toilet situation! no where near enough toilets for the amount of people. But i'm sure they've addressed that in the past couple of years. Pretty cool being able to hang out at the safari park/zoo before any bands start too. Plenty of decent food trucks too (good veggie and vegan options) rather just burger bars. 

 

 

Sounds great! I'm really looking forward to no long-ass walk from the car park to the campsite and having plenty of space to tent up. Do you remember what the night life situation is? Do they have pop-up discos and stuff to do after the bands have finished, or is it just back to the campsite for a few more beers?

 

I'm not sure to be honest, after drinking all day I was pretty much done by the end of all the bands. I'm pretty sure they had DJ sets after though. 

There is no one i would see in that update with the exception of FightStar. Another lackluster offering from Download, looks like i'll be giving this one a miss again.

 

In positive news, Hevy Festival have announced more bands and BY FUCK it is looking incredible. So far, it is;

 

Thrice

Coheed and Cambria, who have confirmed that they’ll be performing seminal album In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3 in full on the Friday night.

The Dillinger Escape Plan

The Get Up Kids (playing Something To Write Home About in full!!!),

Monuments

Vales

Grader

Up River

Ohhms

Collisions

Touché Amoré

Hacktivist

Black Tusk

Baby Godzilla

Continents

Creeper

Fort Hope

Fathoms

The Colour Line

Wraiths.

 

Coheed And Cambria playing IKSOS in full is worth the ticket price alone (£70 for both nights including camping). The Get Up Kids playing Something To Write Home About in full just adds more fuel to the fire. Oh, and motherfucking Thrice are going to be there too! Those three are enough for me, they can add in more unknown bands for all i care, i am all ready sold.

 

It's a small festival, apparently they had 5000 campers last year. Anyone got any experiences of small festivals? How is the atmosphere compared to others?

Vintage was on Wednesday morning sometime this week as we saw it in the hotel after the Nottingham house show.

This week's NXT is now the third in a row that I've watched and I've enjoyed all of them. Haven't hit FF once.

 

I'm really glad I started watching it. Really entertaining.

Emma is awesome. She's hot but comes across as enough of a geek that you'd fancy your chances if you saw her in a pub. NXT has some great women right now.

 

One thing that annoys me in WWE is the way women are only given a first name. Just really bugs me for some reason

She's so awesome. The whole awkward dancing kills me everytime.

Anyone seen the Cesaro/Neville match from this weeks NXT yet? Apparently it's wild. I've been waiting for it for weeks after seeing the NXT taping spoilers.

They let Generico keep his gimmick. Fuckin' A.

 

I'd continue to keep fingers crossed, if I were you. It's not uncommon for developmental guys to make their first FCW/NXT house show appearances under either their old/real name, and in their usual gear, before changing by their 2nd/3rd.

Indeed. And I know we're going way back, but when Mysterio reported to OVW after he signed with WWE, he was mask-less. I recall a match VS Nova in particular.

Yeh I presume it was just to see if there was any crowd reaction or what not. Still, fingers crossed!

Whou woulda thought it.
