to everyone that has to make a choice of who to see when it comes to rammstein and other bands playing at the same time. GO SEE RAMMSTEIN. THEY PUT ON ONE OF THE BEST LIVE SHOWS I HAVE EVER SEEN. Saw them last year at chicago open air and i was blown away by how fucking awesome they are live. seeing them in person compared to watching their live videos on you tube. lets say there is no comparison
I'll be driving from Toronto with 5 friends for the 4th year in a row. We're renting a parcel of lawn behind a house on Rue Notre Dame with a view of the main stage. Already pretty stoked!
Coming up from Pennsylvania for the 2nd time. Went in 2015 and was amazing. Any good bars to check out in Ottawa or Gatineau?
Really wish I could go to Rockfest this year! Anyways, just wanted to say I'm so happy that a friend of mine's band won the Rocker Contest for the festival! Hope you guys check out Archelon while you are there :)
The week is upon us! As of now: Friday: Light shower (70% chance) and 21 degrees Saturday: Chance of a shower (30%) and 22 degrees Not sure how I feel about this. Last year was entirely too hot during the days but was freezing at night.
Yeah I'm starting to get a bit worried about the weather too. At the same time, I'm pretty fair skinned so hot and sunny and 30 degrees isnt exactly ideal either haha
I can guarantee I'm pastier than you haha. The issue is more about what to wear. I need something with a TON of pockets since there's the no-bag rule.
Had an incredible weekend! Sounds like there were only 3 or 4 of us there but I can't imagine I'll be missing a Rockfest any time soon. Favorite sets of the weekend were Ramstein, Teenage Bottlerocket, Masked Intruder, PUP, Goldfinger, AFI, Face To Face, and AoF
Enjoyed this year WAY more than last, bodes well for me going again next year. Standouts: Alexisonfire (obviously), Megadeth, PUP, Protest the Hero, Parkway Drive, August Burns Red, Anti-Flag, Norma Jean, Good Charlotte.
