Hansi Kürsch of Blind Guardian

I have no memory of having seen Blind Guardian less than three years ago. I blame that on my jet lag and their early afternoon slot–not their performance. Also, Alice Cooper played later in the day, and I rode home on a bike in a lightning storm so those factors may have laid waste to most of my memories from earlier in the day.

The good news is that Demons & Wizards, also featuring Hansi Kursch, will be at 2019 Copenhell so I’ll be able to see him again, for the first time.

We are looking at just over four months until Copenhell and a bit under six months until Brutal Assault. Sodom will be at the 2019 Brutal Assault Festival. These two festivals will be the bookends for my European concerts this year.

… this was my view. If all goes as planned, it will be my view five months from now as well.

Roskilde Festival added 27 acts to their 2019 lineup last week. A grand total of zero of them I am interested in. 🙁

In better news, Brutal Assault added 11 bands. The highlight, for me, is Primordial.

Metal Magic will be announcing more bands tomorrow.

Neurosis, Godflesh, and YOB are playing some European shows together. I’m hoping that means Neurosis will be added to the Brutal Assault lineup and maybe YOB will be added to a European festival I’m going to as well.
