Please share some of your concert/festival memories, or maybe some upcoming musical events that you look forward to 8)
Me, my girlfriend and a couple of friends will head for the Sweden rock festival tomorrow.
It's a 4 day event, the biggest rock festival in Sweden with well over 35 000 visitors.
You can read a little about it here (english)

Unfortunately it's the weakest line-up in years but it's more than just the bands, it's a great atmosphere and party 24 hours a day.
A lot of "has-beens" and few "new and popular" acts but still a lot of fun. "Gubbrock" as we call it in Sweden, which could translate to "old fart rockers" ;D
These are the bands that I look forward to see this year
Thursday : HEAT, Volbeat, ZZ Top (good for beer drinking 8) )
Friday : Lita Ford (not so hot these days I'm afraid but what the hell) , Kamelot, Motörhead, In Flames (great headliner, swedish death/melodic metal)
Saturday : Journey, Blackfoot, Electric Boys, Soilwork, Europe, Dream Theater and Heaven & Hell
Heaven & Hell (Black Sabbath, Dio era) will be a blast to see again, saw them 2 years ago and it was magic. Dio can sing like no other, despite his age.
I did the tent thing 2 years ago but I'm too fuckin' old for that, hotel is the shit. Will be nice to sleep in a proper bed and take a dump in a real toilet ;D
Will try to give you some sort of review next week or so when I get back.
Cheers!
