Well, the first group of bands has been released:
* Kiss
* Immortal
* My Dying Bride
* Tarja
* Ratt
* Behemoth
* Ignite
* Korpiklaani
* Sepultura
* Anvil
* Jon Oliva’s Pain
* Walls Of Jericho
* Tankard
* Bleeding Through
* Alestorm
* All Shall Perish
* Deadlock
* The Faceless
* Necrophobic
Also the following bands have been confirmed by the band themselves:
Saxon, Evergrey, Ferdy Doernberg (still no news which band he'll go with: Solo, Axel Rudi Pell, Rough Silk or whatever project he has going on) and Gama Bomb I think.
So far, I'm rather pleased with the line-up. Anvil, Saxon, Evergrey, Ferdy's stuff, Gama Bomb, Tankard, Alestorm, Korpiklaani, Immortal, Behemoth, Jon Oliva's Pain (had to miss them last year), Kiss and Tarja for me. Pretty good for a first release.
