June - Styx, Foreigner and Kansas @ Starlake

I went to see Styx and REO Speedwagon last night. It was my first time to see either band perform live. I was a huge Styx fan when I was a kid, Equinox through Paradise Theater, and I was afraid I'd be disappointed. Now, all I can say is WOW... Styx was fantastic! I was thrilled to see Tommy Shaw and James "JY" Young perform, and they were tight, locked in. Great show.

Oh, and I enjoyed REO Speedwagon a lot more than I thought I would. Great uplifting energetic performances by both bands.

So far there hasn't been anything special, I only saw Master from the bigger bands this year, and I should've Omen last week but their show was cancelled due to their a$$hole German agent ...

But the future looks better:

This weekend - Keep it True festival in Germany (I hope that the US bands get there - there's still too much vulcano ash in the sky ...). Anyhow there should be bands like Anacrusis, Watchtower, Candlemass playing the entire Epicus Doomicus Metallicus w/ original singer, ADX, Satan's Host with Harry, Fifth Angel, Hades, Savage Grace, Demon, Tygers of Pan Tang ...)

Then there is
May - Blaze Bayley
May - Heathen

June - Sonisphere in Czech Republic (Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, Heaven and Hell)
July - Manowar
July - Bang Your Head festival (Twisted Sister, Forbidden, Queensryche, Fates Warning, Jag Panzer, Krokus, ...)

Oh, and I forgot,
June - Megadeth for the 1st time in Slovenia (it will be mine 6th time seeing them though

So far only Gamma Ray (w/ Freedom Call) and Skyclad (w/Bal Sagoth). I also have tickets to see Blaze Bayley next month.

Then hopefully a bunch of summer festivals.

You both are so lucky you get to see Blaze. I love his work and wish he could get out to the states and tour.

Awesome to see you here criss! I've missed hangin' with ya online!

Went to the Roadburn festival from Thursday til Saturday, and it was awesome! Unfortunately six bands cancelled (including Candlemass, The Gates of Slumber and Shrinebuilder), but I still saw some great bands. My faves were Pagan Altar, Death Row (who got to play twice!), Witchfynde and The Lamp of Thoth.

So far this year I have only seen
Porcupine Tree & AC/DC

Coming up I have

Deep Purple
Alestorm
Paul DiAnno
Stryper
Overkill & Mortal Sin

When will Stryper announce the upcoming tourdates?

My memory is whack, but so far I remember seeing Stryper and Witchhammer this year.

I am also seeing AC/DC soon, and maybe KISS.

Stryper are playing in Sydney, Australia on the 26th of Aug
