How good is it gonna be next year? :)

DevilDriver & 5FDP, AWESOME!

that’s one for me to miss.

meh over rated not headline material

Most overated band ever 5FDP. They sound like a high school wanabe metal crew.

bit sad really Hammer

noobpotato

nice,at norwich they fucking tore the waterfront apart.

stop bitching you big girls
nothing wrong with a bit of five finger
and devildriver now that makes one hell of a show

king of heavy metal

fucking awesome did you see the fucking mental pits in london? seriously it was mental cant wait

still very average line up, last year was far superior OPETH

Fair dos to them playing Hammerfest, but why aren’t DEVILDRIVER headlining!?

Yeahh, compared to devildriver and other bands on the friday, 5fdp are little boys, i like them, but just, there not ready to headline, even more so over devildriver who i always thought were going to headline, being the first anocement and everything. Ahh i can dreamm L:(

I kind of assumed that Iced Earth and Devildriver were the intended headliners. Go figure. Still haven’t seen what the fuss is about with FFDP but I suppose I’ll give them a look all the same.

wise up hammer. it is clear that thus awful band’s record label are pushing them down the throats of the metal media. they’ve only been around for 5 minutes and they are headliners?

so much money is being passed around under tables. it’s really quite sad.

clement

5FDP and devildriver will rules hammerfest 2 !!

noobpotato

Now that i’ve read some of the comments,why are five finger headlining? I would say devildriver has more demand,are a better band and bigger overall than them, and i would say the same about skindred but i don’t think they should headline.

Headlining? Seriously? They’ve been around for like 3 years. and they’ve only been known round here for about… one. I’d like to see them, but it’s so annoying that they’re THIS big.

didnt there last album only reach 64 in the charts?, surely they should be sub headliner, big step down from opeth, and saxon( a band who formelly headlined reading festival!)

Suicidal Tendencies are going to OWN hammerfest. Fuck off 5FDP

The QMeister

FUCK! I am there! FFDP, Suicidal Tendencies and DevilDriver!

Moshtank

i saw ffdp at the water front in norich…..shit was brutaly amazing

Whilst I will admit that 5FDP are a decent band, I agree that theyre not big enough yet to headline. DevilDriver wouldve been a better headliner, tbh

dickmouth

Five finger death punch just hooked me up with their brand new track hot off the press. It goes…

ARGH!
NO ONE GETS ME AND STUFF!
ANOTHER NIGHT ALONE
MASTURBATING IN MY ROOM
JIZZ STAIN ON MY KHAKI SHORTS
CLEAN IT UP WIT MY MUSCLE VEST
MY PROBLEMS ARE WAY SERIOUS
EVEN THOUGH I’M LIKE, 36 AND SHIT
I MISS CRAZY TOWN AND CREED
I HOPE THEY GET BACK TOGETHER
CAUSE I’M FLAT OUT OF SHITTY TWO NOTE RIFFSSSSSS!!!!

ALSO MY HAIR IS FUCKING STUPID (repeat to fade)

Shit’s tight.

Haha, the above comment is kinda true.

Tight band though

hang on i thought devildriver were booked to headline?
i like ffdp but them headlining over devildriver is a joke

PureSincerity

haha…seriously?

55dp over Driver?

fuckin hell flames, what gives?

Simply put, 5FDP sells at least five times more records than Devil Driver. Probably even more than all the bands combined on the entire festival, and these things are all about popularity. No matter how much history Devildriver or Iced Earth have, they can’t headline over a band that’s immensely more popular, and outsells them at least 8:1 ! I mean no disrespect just stating facts.

Second, I think it’s pretty lame to hate on any band just because they’re getting popular. That’s some elitist poser shit right there.
btw. 5FDP is one of the best live bands I have ever seen.

Dickmouth you sure you’re not in the band! Devil Driver over 5FDP anyday of the week.

I was hoping for Crowbar.

I think i may attend this… not cheap to come from Norway but Suicidal own, DevilDriver kill and 5FDP… i like ‘em!!!

I hope you haven’t upset Devil Driver hammer because thats what decided me to book I dont fancy feeling all that upset shit like Sonisphere when Machine Head were displaced by the shit-awful limpid biscuits and its my birthday that friday!!! FFDP are entertaining allright but you must keep Devil Driver!

i know its to each their own and i like some bands that alot of ppl on this site hate,but i really dont get the big deal about 5fdp,i saw them at defenders of the faith and i didnt think much of them,they sound real generic to me the clean vocals just sound nu metal to me.
its music that would be on wwe

TheCraigus

I think 5FDP are a better propostion live than on record. I thought they were pretty good on the Defenders Of The Faith tour but, I was disappointed by the CD which I bought a few days afterwards.

Horseguts

Abercocke :’) ahaha is that like swedish death pop?

yeah all my friends think it’s too early for 5FDP to headline seing as a year before at DOTF2 they were the smallest band on the bill however tbh they can pull it off and i really can not fucking wait for this shitttt!

Lewis@Hammer

@lacey1

Clean vocals sound Nu Metal to you?
Wouldn’t put Fear Factory in the Nu Metal group myself, or Machine Head, or Metallica, Or Megadeth, or Akercocke and so on….

Christy Rodgers

Five Finger Death Punch are the greatest band of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone who dislikes them, has probably never seen them live, because trust me, I saw them on thanksgiving, and the wall of death was epic!

Devildriver and Suicidal Tendincies should be ace. IIt’ll be interesting to see who else gets announced. Who’s playing bass For ST these days?

Isolysis

I’m loving the line-up so far, awesome! :)
