It's an open air metal (music) festival! But there's a lot of 'underground' metal bands. I live far away from it but it'd be wild to go.
That sounds totally awesome! What do you like best about metal?
It's gotta be 1) the positive energy it brings and 2) the people.
I've been in a few different scenes, and metal heads were the ones that didn't care what bands t-shirt you wore. If you were there for a good time so were they.
Point and case is Corpsegrinder, the vocalist of Cannibal Corpse. The dude plays skill tester arcade games while on tour and donates all the toys and stuff he wins to kids in need and posts about it on instagram.
That sounds really fun. I'm not a big metal fan but live music is always good. Even if it's bad i appreciate people putting themselves on a stage for something they're passionate about. I recently learned about the metal show running in circles thing and watched a bunch of YouTube videos. Learned about the rings/areas where you choose what level of 'engagement' you want. I love watching these kind of organized, chaotic, ritualized activities! Hope you have fun and don't get punched in the face!
Na but that's the thing right, everyone in the pit/circle is there by choice, and most of the time if someone gets knocked down they get picked up by others.
If you really wanna check out some wild stuff, look up Obscene Extreme Festival, it's like Wacken but smaller. Everyone's just there for a good time aye.
