I only get The Big Day Out here,once a year.Last year was awesome for gigs though,went to heaps.
Europe is where it's at for festivals I reckon.I'm heading there this winter(your summer).
Def going for Metaltown(Sweden),Metalmorphosis(Cyprus),maybe Sonisphere(UK) and Tuska looks choice too!
haha....if only I could travel to these countries. If I had the money I would travel there only for the festivals. Personally, I think all the "metal" festivals here have dramatically gone downhill.
