What a ****ing weekend. Only saw about 15 bands, most of them on The Valley stage and they were all excellent apart from Ozzy who wasnt worth sticking around for.

To be fair to Ozzy, he did obviously have a sore throat which he admitted but said he would do the best he can, which he did. Yes he cut the set by 30mins but we still got over an hour of Ozzy and Sabbath songs and getting to see him play with Slash and Zakk Wylde was pretty cool. Kinda felt sorry for Ozzy tbh, he was clearly upset about the fact that he couldn't give the best performance possible.

****ing incredible weekend all round. Saw about 25 all in all, and none of them dissa pointed. Yob, Tragedy, Pentagram, Refused, Coulour Haze, and Sunn were exceptionally ace, but their were countless others who ace as well through out the weekend.

If their is a greater polar opposite in guitar music than Sunno))) followed by Biohazard I certainly haven't seen it.

I think the main problem with Argon is the spending ages on a coach! Not got them before, this year it was the simplest option that wasn't mega expensive.

Frantically preparing for this now, taken longer as most of what I'm taking's needed Donington mud removing from it. Getting the Argon coach out of London at 9pm.

Looking forward to it

What's everyone's schedule:

Clashes, lots and lots of clashes. Like most years, past about 2pm it's pretty much solid bands, and often they're clashing with a band I'd jump to see at another festival. Going to be whole days in the arena and hectic.

Booked tickets to this! Looks awesome! Going with Argon, to reiterate someone elses question, any one used them before, good or bad experiences? I've read some horror stories on the net, but they seem to be from a few years ago!

Finally sorted travel out this year - just going with Argon as it's so late on and we can't really be bothered to organise anything.

not going but made that for a friend as I was bored, could be useful for other people.

Wish I could afford it, Unsane into Napalm Death into Refused is a dream.

Re:Hellfest 2012 (Sisyphus)

Running order already?

Still trying to work out travel agh. Difficult this year, as I don't know so many people going, and the flights I took last year don't exist.

Train or Argon bus out of London's looking most likely. Preferably train.

Re:Hellfest 2012 (adamg)

Our ferries for a return was like £500, so between 4 it was around £125, as we have left it quite late.

We are getting the early Thursday ferry from Poole to Cherbourg & then a late night return crossing from Caen to Portsmouth so we can get a sleep & a shower.

Oh and aye, abandoned the van idea as I am sick of being fannied about by folk. Not bothering again, too much effort.

With Sonisphere cancelled and Download in exam period and this after my exams decided to get a ticket. Can't wait! Lineup looks so epic. As a huge GN'R fan seeing both a Slash set and a GN'R set at the same festival is a huge plus (as well as Slash with Ozzy).

Interesting comments re the Ozzy set - wondering if it'll be a complete Sabbath set. Hoping for some solo songs with Zakk. Seeing Zakk on stage with Ozzy again will be epic.

Re costs getting to France, Eurolines do cheap coaches from London to Paris. I'm thinking of coaching it to Paris and then getting the train to Nantes and then the shuttle bus.

Hour Of Penance

Oh ****!! I didnt even see hour of penance.

I only looked at the hellfest lineup for the first time today and I was shocked at how good it is. I'm soooooo tempted to go.

Honestly I think Amenra, Refused, year of no light and Celeste make the price more than worth it for me as I ****ing love those bands. and then there are so many other gems.

How much does it cost to get to france these days?
