    Yes, and to balance this, RAGE could also do a 75mn set with LMO, and a 60 mn set without. With Andy, anything’s possible.
    But, Occam’s razor.

    They could be the B.
    I don’t believe this, UMC wouldn’t agree on sharing a specific announcement date, even behind a mystery - “Soon” yes, a specific date no. I believe they’ve been burned before by bands jumping the gun.
    The announcement is probably that they’re starting shows again, but not on 70K.
    Your point is solid. And I'd be very happy if you are right as there are so many bands better than Blackguard that I want on broad :D
    Confirmed, first show in 4 years in March.
    BLACKGUARD is out.

    Let’s try to predict the timing of the next announcements (if any :evil:).
    Since we’re inside of a week, we don’t need dates anymore, just days.
    - next one on Saturday at noon PST
    - 2 announcements that day
    - 3 on Sunday
    - 4 on Monday
    - nothing on Tuesday
    - last one on Wednesday morning, followed by the running order shortly after
    Your turn.

    an·ti·cli·max (ăn′tē-klī′măks′, ăn′tī-)
    n.
    1. A decline viewed in disappointing contrast with a previous rise: the anticlimax of a brilliant career.
    2. Something trivial or commonplace that concludes a series of significant events: After a week of dramatic negotiations, all that followed was anticlimax.
    c.f. Piller, Andy - 70000 Tons Of Metal [sic], 2019 edition[13]

    I’ll take “Something trivial or commonplace that concludes a series of significant events” for $400, please.

    Funny post, but CoB would be a non-trivial, significant announcement.

    I'm still expecting Wintersun last, though.

    The next announcement of three is very likely to contain a doom band, I think. I'm hoping for Novembre or November's Doom.

    'bigger' names
    Tyr for the T - Highly possible
    Wintersun - hotly rumored
    Running Wild - wishful thinking!

    'smaller' names
    Exit Eden - One of them is on board already!
    Trick or Treat - lead singer is already on board
    Temperance - one of their singers is already on board

    Crippers (sub 10,000 last.fm listeners)
    Claymorean
    Dragony
    Brothers of Metal
    Ex Libris
    So I've got 2 right so far!! Honestly didn't expect to get any right :P

    So far we predicted 8 and 9 announcements by tonight, and we got 5.

    Last try to have fun with the situation: predict the NUMBER of announcements left (we’re at 56, but RIOT V is uncertain).
    1) 4, RIOT V plays
    2) 5, RIOT V plays, and there’s a bonus band
    3) 5, RIOT V is replaced
    4) 6, RIOT V is replaced, and there’s a bonus band.

    My guess: #1.

    EDIT: Never mind, UMC just confirmed on FB that RIOT V is playing.
    So the only options are #1 and #2.
    I change my guess to #2, since Andy probably accounted for RIOT V being uncertain.
