Completing the Dong line up of 2018 with five phenomenal acts


—
Our friends of the DONG Open Air have news:

Completing the Dong line up of 2018 with five phenomenal acts:
Skindred area reggae meets metal combo and thus not only quite the exception, but also exceptionally awesome party guarantee. They are bringing their brand new album and have set out to make the Dong hill the Olympus of Rhythm!
Moonspell have created a true favorite of the critics with their new album. About time the Portuguese grace the Dong with their dark live qualities!
After six years of abstinence, our friends from Drone are finally coming back to see us! We are in for an energetic thrash show with a more mature Mutz as stage hog!
And Vogelfrey came back in! So we’ll have yet another folk metal force to make that tent flutter.
Last but not least, we have a little cherry on top of your Sundae: Visigoth, the heavy metal act of the hour, will come all the way from Salt Lake City to have you cheer!
The lineup for 2018 is complete!
Like it? Get your ticket now, either in our own webshop or on Metaltix.com!
Don’t be late, we are currently seeing a fantastic ticket sale going down.

Run to the hill,
Your Dong Team

Our friends of the DONG Open Air have news:

BLAZE BAYLEY, GRAILKNIGHTS, FABULOUS DESASTER

Today, we’ll hit you with another one!
Blaze Bayley is going to be at the Dong Open Air 2018! The congenial ex-Iron Maiden singer has a brand new album and a very successful tour to go along with it.
It’s time for heroes again: the Grailknights, too, carry a new record under their capes and won’t miss Mount Moshmore!
Last but not least, we have selected lovely thrash from by Fabulous Desaster for you – get fit for the pit!
Listen up: This year’s ticket sale is going even better than in 2017. So if you are out there, trying to get a ticket just in the nick of time before the festival – don’t say, we didn’t warn you 😉

Caring, thoughtful and excited,
Your Dong Team

Graspop – The timetable is here!


—
With less than 70 days to go, the countdown to the best metal party in Benelux and its environs has truly begun. In precisely 68 days, at 2pm, the first notes will blast out from the speakers on the Jupiler Stage.

You can now start planning which bands you’ll be watching where. The performance schedule is available on the website.

The bill for the Graspop Metal Meeting, a one-off four-day event in 2018 that takes place between Thursday 21 June and Sunday 24 June, is now complete! With fantastic headliners: Guns N’ Roses, Iron Maiden, Volbeat and Ozzy Osbourne. And there’s nothing wrong with the sub-headliners either: Avenged Sevenfold, Judas Priest, A Perfect Circle, Marilyn Manson, Ghost, and Parkway Drive. In addition to all the raging guitars, as usual you can party the night away in the Metal Dome and Classic Rock Café. DJs Goe Vur In Den Otto, DJ Rock The Fox and DJ Carl will be there to bring out your best metal moves, as will the cover and tribute bands booked by GMM: AC/DC UK, AmÆzing Snäke, Hats Off To Led Zeppelin, Living Theory, Purpendicular, Subliminal Verses, Present Danger, System Pilot and Eternal Run For Cover.

Check out the official site for more information:

Our friends of the DONG Open Air have news:

DESTRUCTION, HAMMOND PAGAN, AND PADERBORN POWER!
Care for a little more thrash? No one less than the Teutonic thrash icon Destruction will make you line up for their pit’s role call up on Mount Moshmore. The Mad Butcher will – alongside Exodus – will beat your blood in and back out, promised!
Alvenrad from the Netherlands will serve you a side of never heard blend of melodic folk metal, blast beats, and Hammond organ!
Last but not least, we are happy to announce the return of Torian! The Paderborn-based Dong veterans are experts in the field of catchy power metal choruses – we’re looking forward to many raised fists during “Diamonds and Tyrants”!
Never heard of these folks, but care to change that sorry state? No problem, drop by our band profiles and listen to the audio samples!
If you like what you hear, get your ticket now, because we have seen worse sales in our shop and on metaltix.com…

Up the horns,
Your Dong Team
