    I'll be curious to see if you're right about Moonsorrow and Grave Digger. Moonsorrow have three times as many Facebook likes as Grave Digger.

    Grave Digger is an "old man" band so no surprise on the facebook likes. I love Grave Digger and I probably don't "like" them on FB come to think of it. In a typical city in the US or Canada Moonsorrow would sell more tickets than Grave Digger would, however 70000 tons isn't your typical fan. So who knows?

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

    To each his own. I cant get enough of Grave Digger. Such a great band. I saw them with blind guardian twice; on both legs of the tour. I had to drive about 2.5 hours on a monday to see them last year. I was speeding down the highway like a maniac because i could miss Grave Digger

    So that is a 60 or 75 minute setter gone in Gojira, and another guaranteed 60 minute setter in Nile gone.

    If he can't find another headliner to book, I wonder who they will pick from the 60-minute bands to be an ad hoc headliner. Amon Amarth were heavily rumored to play last year but Iced Earth were chosen to headline instead when AA couldn't make it. Maybe there's a band out there that owes him a favor.

    I stand by Kamelot as the best bet for making the jump to a headliner, barring the mythical AA announcement.

    I agree. With the prospect of Alissa and Elize joining them.... maybe even Fabio!....

    I'm thinking it's probably Devildriver but Arch Enemy and Kamelot also seem reasonable.

    Based off the stats DevilDriver and Arch Enemy seem possible, but Arch Enemy played a 60 min in 2015 and haven't released a new record since, so it would be hard to justify how they would get the 75 min set without implying that this year's lineup is weaker than 2015, and thus implying that the cruise's booking potential is going downhill. Even minus Nile and Gojira I still think this year is stronger, but UMC won't want to send that message. DevilDriver has good looking stats, but they don't seem to be super popular with cruisers, and they play smaller venues in Calgary at least then Kamelot does. I guess we'll find out in a week though, this could just be wishful thinking because I want to see two and a half hours of Kamelot!

    I'll also put myself in the Kamelot headliner camp. The value of having guest vocalists could make their sets VERY worthy of that title.

    What length has Carcass played in the past? Can we expect them to be a 60 minute band?

    Yeah, I agree Kamelot looks likely for the third headliner unless Andy had something BIG waiting for announcement #60. Works for me!

    Andy could do this: Have only have two 75 minute sets. Take the extra 15 minutes from the expected third 75 minute set give it to one of the 45 minute slots. You have now created a new 60 minute slot.

    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.

    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.


    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 feel awful for the people who were excited about Gojira - it seems like there were some who booked primarily because of them - but if it means an extra half hour of Kamelot I can't pretend not to be excited.

    On the other hand, I would say Arch Enemy is probably the biggest remaining name. I mean, they headlined Wacken. They're big enough to headline 70k.

    I don't think Kamelot has ever headlined a major festival. DevilDriver is popular but not with the cruisers - no way they get 75 minutes.

    It's not so much that they've come up in the world. Lots of people love them because they play an excellent live show and they've built up a substantial international following. Not only that, but Andy is in deep shit so it's possible they will get upgraded

    Wake up guys, we still have to slot in up to 4 more bands (CARCASS, CRYPTOPSY, ALLEGAEON, and possibly OVERKILL).
    I'm thinking the 3rd headliner is either ARCH ENEMY or DEVILDRIVER, CARCASS and OVERKILL 60mn, not sure about CRYPTOPSY and ALLEGAEON.

    You left Nile, so that's only 15 60mn bands, and 42 45mn bands. We need to promote 2 bands to 60mn.
    I'm guessing Pain (339K listeners) and Xandria (287K).

    Top 20:
    Anthrax 827,197
    Arch Enemy 617,075
    Testament 504,700
    DevilDriver 493,654
    Kamelot 417,675

    Arch Enemy seems a good guess. Maybe Kamelot also? Everything else seems not big enough.

    Its interesting to note that on last.fm figures, the 2017 lineup doesn't have as many "big" bands as 2016

    2016 - 13 bands with over 300,000 listeners:
    Epica, Dragonforce, Hammerfall, Iced Earth, Children of Bodom, Cradle of Filth, Lacuna Coil, Katatonia, Stratovarius, Moonspell, Gamma Ray, Paradise Lost, Eluveitie.

    This year, only 8 (would have been 9 with Gojira).

    its kinda hilarious that we were all back and forth about Arch Enemy vs. Kamelot, then they both turned out to both be headliners over Testament. Skipper works in mysterious ways. 2.5 hours of Kamelot!!!!!!!!!

    I expressed skepticism that Testament would be a headliner months ago, but everyone seemed convinced. The logic of "they got 75 minutes last time" didn't really work for me since there were 90 minute slots back then, nor did it make sense, especially with such a thrash-heavy lineup, to devote 2/3 headliner spots to thrash bands. Indeed, we got three totally different subgenres.

    I'm not trying to gloat or anything here, though I do feel a bit vindicated. I'm just saying this really isn't that out of left field. Whether Gojira was slated to be a headliner and one of the others took their place is debatable (and I'd point out that Kamelot's "billing" may also be compensation for the 2014 fiasco), but the way Testament was treated as a lock was puzzling to me.

    Didn't do too badly :)

    The fact that we got 61 bands in the end meant we got a few less 60 minutes bands than I anticipated :)

    Bummed that Orphaned Land and Amaranthe only get 45 minutes, but very happy that we get a KameLOT :D
