So Therion are...not quite ruled out, but not ruled in either.
Christofer J. posted on Facebook that they are DONE with any new touring until 2029, and them appearing on any European festivals was unlikely.
BUT, when asked about 70K, he basically said it was the one festival they'd consider because it was fun.
Here's hoping! An appearance on 70K would now be a rare appearance indeed!

TesseracT announced a tour in Europe during boat dates. They are out.

[MuzakMaker]

Veil of Maya just announced an indefinite hiatus and cancelled all upcoming shows and festivals.
So they're out.

[DeadPoet]

Cattle Decapitation, Shadow of Intent, Revocation and Vulvodynia announced a tour in Europe during 70k dates. They are out

[DeadPoet]

Another band that can be ruled out: Marduk is playing in Western Asia/Caucasus region during boat dates. They are out and won't be able to make up for last year's cancelation.

Damn, I was hoping for Cattle Decapitation this year.

[cowboy71]

Thats a bunch of highly requested bands ruled out right there. Cattle Decap and Revocation both within the top 100, Marduk just outside.

Also ruled out by the fact that they keep getting even tourist visas denied due to being too closely tied with Nazis

Ugh

Their work visa for Canada to play at Messe des Morts in November is approved. They should be here in about 2 months.

Thank you. Apparently they are only "Nazis" in America

Messe des Morts is awesome! They always have a dozen bands you won't see anywhere else in North America. I've skipped out on a few Thanksgivings to attend.

US Cancel culture is out of control. Opposite of DEI

Whatever keeps them out of my country I'm okay with. And thank you for informing me of another festival to never support

Imagine defending Marduk in 2024

Unto Others just announced dates in Greece and Turkey during the boat dates. They are also out.

Well, this sucks (besides some other user's comments here)

Also sad about Unto Others being ruled out. Especially that they were supposed to tour with W.A.S.P. in the fall, but were dropped from the bill for the most ridiculous reason. I was hoping that maybe they would play 70k...

Agreed, they would have been a nice add.

I wouldn't have even bothered mentioning her since I think it's outside of Andy's wheelhouse but given the next band is an "E" band, Eivor just announced a tour that starts during the boat.

[creptorstatus]

Nile, Six Feet Under and Psycroptic ruled out. They’ll be touring.

Would have liked to see Nile again & Psycroptic for the 1st time. :(

I would love to see her on the boat (already bought my ticket to her North American tour). Sadly, she plays in Vancouver the night we get off the boat. So it won't be her :(

3 other bands (orden ogan, angus mcsix and all for metal) announced dates during boat. They are out too

Kerry King, Municipal Waste, and Alien Weaponry all ruled out with a NA tour during the boat

[DeadPoet]

With Kerry King being in tour during boat, it also makes Death Angel not available since Mark sings in both bands.

Yep, and it's already been established that he'll pick a Kerry gig over a Death Angel gig.

[cowboy71]

Not top 100 material but all THREE fairly heavily requested (8, 11, and 9 requested respectively).

As noted it would also rule out Death Angel though who ARE top 100 (25 requests)

[cowboy71]

FABIO LIONE can be ruled out as he is doing a tour of south america during the cruise dates.
