One of Sweden's greatest (or better say best) are playing there, damn!

Solstice would be GREAT!Ironhead wrote:I couldn't watch RAM thanks to the weather, had to run to my sleeping bag and cry myself to sleep. At least now it seems that it'll be much better a spring this year, now just let the rumours about Death SS be true!! When I said that to Tyrant of Nifelheim last week, he looked quite suspicious, like knowing something...! I'm quite sure Solstice is playing, been hoping to see them live.
I vaguely remember standing in the rain getting drenched during Raven and having a blast, while waiting for RAM to come on stage. Even with the pouring rain, they delivered a monumental performance!Ironhead wrote:I couldn't watch RAM thanks to the weather, had to run to my sleeping bag and cry myself to sleep.

The only difference is that a film costs me 10€ and for the trip to Muskelrock I have already spent 400 and I'm still at home...Bane wrote:Have you ever paid in to see a movie without knowing the plot? Or how it was rated by critics? I'm a big Steven Soderbergh fan and I went to see his most recent movie "Side Effects" without knowing a single thing about it. I decided to take the risk based on the fact that I love his previous movies, and it paid off - I loved it. I feel the same way about Muskelrock. I've enjoyed every year I've been and each line-up has been fantastic so I'm happy to take the risk this year.
I can totally understand the point about it being useful to know what bands are playing in advance so you can do some research on them beforehand. I wouldn't argue against that logic at all. It's not a big issue for me though, as Muskelrock is pretty much the only festival where I end up checking out at least 90% of the bands (regardless of whether I've heard anything by them). It has the perfect environment for this: a great stage area where you can bring in your own beer, sit in the grass, and just chill out.
And really, like people have already said, the atmosphere at Muskelrock is unbeatable and for me it's a great opportunity to meet up with friends I only get to see once per year (if even!). So it's a no-brainer.
