thedarkprojectRagnarok festival just got cancelled, due to low ticket sales. Not surprising, given that it was going to be up in Perth, and that we already had 2 Bloodstocks in the UK this year, and a reasonable Download lineup for those who don't mind paying through the nose.
Yet looking at the bands on the Ragnarok bill: Gamma Ray, Doro, Korpiklaani, Dream Evil, Kalmah, Charon, Elvenking, SuidAkrA... it would have outclassed Bloodstock. Now we don't get to see those bands this year, and instead had rather too many unsigned ones at the two Bloodstocks. What's going on? Are we spreading these events too thinly?
