I don't know if anyone is near Toronto here. But this is the best metal festival I have ever heard of existing in North America and it's in my own backyard.
Slayer, Megadeth, Billy Talent, Motorhead, Anthrax, Opeth, Children of Bodom, Rob Zombie, Mastadon, Anvil and Diamond Head all on the same weekend. Plus more. Not bad, eh? $130 for a weekend pass is a pretty fucking sweet deal IMO. I suggest everyone in or near the upper east coast get your ass over here.
