In this segment, we help festival goers decide which 10 essential bands they shouldn't miss at major European festivals. Although sadly we won't be covering Vainstream this year, we will be there in spirit.
Ready to see what we have to suggest? Well, keep on reading!
01. While She Sleeps
The Sleeps are conquering over and over again the European crowds, and with good reason. Their shows are lit, their energy is contagious and the singalongs are bloody big. Oh, and frontman Loz Taylor jumps off of things all the time. Their return to the festival will be nothing less than spectacular.
WHEN: 14:05-14:45
WHERE: EMP stage02. Trivium
Originally built as "the new Metallica", Trivium, with their musicianship and intense stage presence, has grown to a solid status of their own. The direction they took in the recent years may not appeal to everyone, but the evolution is indisputable.
WHEN: 16:15-16:55
WHERE: Lonsdale stage
03. Harms Way
These heavyweights are known for turning their shows into riots and with good cause. Their unparalleled energy and dedication to their cause has helped them pave their way in modern hardcore and become a household name.
WHEN: 13:00-13:30
WHERE: Green Hell clubstage
04. State Champs
The pop punk idols are currently raising hell across Europe and the UK while on their headliner tour. Their slot on the billing may be putting them under harsh sun but they will be a very entertaining sight, really worth of your time.
WHEN: 11:10-11:40
WHERE: Lonsdale stage
05. Whitechapel
The deathcore icons released a very interesting (and polarizing) album earlier this year, proving that, if change is the only constant, forward can't be stopped. Whitechapel deliver pure professionalism when it comes to their shows and we definitely recommend that you don't miss them.
WHEN: 12:50-13:25
WHERE: EMP stage
06. Neaera
If you look at the OG European metal
WHEN: 15-30-16:10
WHERE: EMP stage
07. Architects
After the jaw-dropping Holy Hell tour earlier this year, the Brighton outfit is taking over summer festivals reigning supreme. To be fair, "Holy Hell" as an album didn't hit home with a lot of their fans but take it from our experience; Architects' show will be a roller coaster of emotions.
WHEN: 20:30-21:25
WHERE: EMP stage
08. Turnstile
We usually try to avoid putting the same bands twice in our lists but Turnstile is just THAT good. Their slot sees them in the club stage where they will be in their element. Just a heads up; make sure you get to the venue early. Once packed, you will be stuck in the queue at the entrance.
WHEN: 15:00-15:40
WHERE: Green Hell clubstage
09. Beartooth
After a string of successful tours, Beartooth is back to Europe and the UK for their headlining tour. The band has landed a pretty privileged time slot, allowing their fans to enjoy them without being under scorching sun.
WHEN: 17:00-17:45
WHERE: EMP stage
10. Booze & Glory
British Oi! punk at its finest. Booze & Glory is appearing after Flogging Molly, Donots and Dropkick Murphys, headlining the club stage, and it's the best way to end your day at the festival; at a drunken party.
WHEN: 22:40-23:30
WHERE: Green Hell clubstage
