There's no info on the Band in Heavy MTL day 2 or Heavy Toronto

 

[King Woodballs]

Too bad there is no heavy wpg

 

[PaganKnight]

Well they introduce Heavy Toronto this year maybe if it's a success we'll see a Heavy WPG or a Heavy Vancouver. But it's true we're lucky in Quebec with Summer festival in Quebec and Heavy Mtl.

 

[DekeLikeYouMeanIt]

Toronto has no good festivals just a couple of tours here and there. I'd love to go this year as I missed the last Hvy MTL

Hopefully there's less crap like Disturd and Godspat

 

[PaganKnight]

In the same weekend than Heavy Mtl there'll be a festival in Toronto name heavy T.O. I think Megadet will main event one of the day

 

[No 19]

Suicide Silence is playing at Heavy MTL
but i might be on vacation

 

[MicroFracture]

The bands announced so far are really disappointing tbh.

Heard a leak off their new album and it's very disconcerting to say the least.

i just can't wait till it comes out

If SOAD were going I don't think I could miss it. If RATM goes I think I could miss it but definitely would not want to.

definitely not ratm, but i can see soad play.

should be revealed in the next few days

I'm just glad that the "big 4" isn't gonna be playing Heavy MTL... Watching a bunch of geriatrics play 80's thrash metal doesn't do it for me...
If Tool, SOAD, or RATM is announced I'll be ecstatic, too bad Godsmack is there and Alter Bridge is only playing Canada in August

Truth is: Only Megadeth can still perform any of their songs perfectly. I'd still rather see Exodus and Testament.

Tool and RATM would be good.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Tool only plays serious festivals.

 

[neofury*]

Megadeth is insanely good and Metallica are still good when playing their older stuff. Not quite sure why anyone would be angry if they were in the line up

Good to be honest I've never been a fan and would rather they don't take the place of a good band I do enjoy listening to.

A differing taste of music. I would skip sets by Megadeth or Metallica.. and I'd only make the road trip to see this festival if Tool was playing (my favorite band of all time).

But, like I said, Tool generally only plays serious festivals and I don't think they've ever played one in Canada. They normally do three Canadian shows, Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver on their tours. I saw them a couple years back in Boston.

Wish there was a euro type show instead of this

i saw tool headline edgefest in barrie ontario on the lateralus tour. well worth the 5 hour drive from quebec

so its march 11 and still no news. the website said the line up would be out early march.does this mean that they can't get anyone good for day 2 and we are stuck with poison,warrant and anvil.
