My thoughts exactly. I saw Grave Digger open for Bling Guardian. Suffice it to say, not my cup of tea.

We've seen that before in Iced Earth (played 60 minute sets in 2011 and 75 minute sets in 2016), Fear Factory (60 minutes in 2011 and 75 minutes in 2014), Rage (60 minutes in 2011 and 75 minutes in 2013), and several others.

I nominate Moonsorrow.

It is absolutely possible! My point was more specifically that it had only been two years since Arch Enemy's last 60 min set, making it difficult to argue that they had "come up in the world" in between, but it looks like Rage would fit that timing as well unless something really big happened for them during those two years (and a quick glance at their Wikipedia suggests that is not the case).

I'm guessing Pain (339K listeners) and Xandria (287K).

Given that they could only fit three songs in a 45 min set, I second this.
