I am PUMPED to see this. Not one band on there that I wouldn't want to see (except I know nothing about Red Fang). For those that don't know, Hatebreed is only playing at three locations, and Trivium plays all the rest.
I expect all the mainstagers to be good (I've seen a quality show from Disturbed already). I have yet to see a poor performance (via Youtube) from Godsmack, and if Megadeth plays as well as they did in Buenos Aires that will be great as well. In Flames will be awesome for sure. Hatebreed I'm sure will be great again, but I'm really curious to see Suicide Silence and All Shall Perish. It will also be interesting to see how the chick singer from Straight Line Stitch does.
People at Indy are crazy. Last year the crowd was nearly as entertaining as the bands. During 5FDP's set, the lawn crowd began ripping sod out of the ground and flinging it up into the air and into the pavilion. This went on for almost the entire set, and it literally looked like it was raining dirt.
The performances were all great last year except 3 Inches of Blood and Shadows Fall. The best were easily Chimaira, Hatebreed, Lamb of God, and surprisingly, Korn.
