Saw Machine Head supporting Metallica some years ago, then saw a bit of their surprise appearance at Bloodstock 2 years ago, looking forward to their headline this year. You’ll also be able to add Obituary to your list after Bloodstock this year.

Not a great Ozzy fan aside from the two albums Jake E Lee played on. As a Maiden fanatic also not keen on Sharon and I'd only pay to see Jake smack her for how she ripped him off!

You’re right. Saw them on the Death Magnetic tour. That’s my tally up to 47.

Me too. To the extent that I thought Ozzie’s performance was passable!
Floyd, Queen, Saxon, AC/DC ( with Bon Scott) Molly Hatchet, Scorpions, Motörhead,Quo, Thin Lizzy.
I saw Saxon in 81ish, a mate was a big fan and I went with him. Extremely loud, ringing in my ears all the next day, but, there was a bloke asleep, maybe comatose from drink/ drugs throughout the whole gig.
I was very impressed. He got up at the end when the lights went on and wandered out.

Ah nice, I'm not a massive fan but they'll be good.
Also forgot I saw Obituary supporting Sepultura in November
Will be a great festival this year, the Sunday in particular will be insane.

That was a few years ago...magnificent though!

Seen quite a few of those. And in addition (of that genre) from memory3 - Thin Lizzy, Hawkwind, and Nirvana.
Heard many of the other bands at the Hungry Years, though

Would absolutely have loved to get to this as never seen Slayer or Anthrax and love Hatebreed among others on there, but given it's two days before I head to 2000 Trees, I can't justify taking that day off work when it'll be mostly spent getting sorting final bits of packing for that and setting up work plans for when I'm away.
Not to mention the busy double header the final weekend of June of Iron Maiden at London. Stadium & Deftones/Weezer at Cr*st*l P*l*c* Park among other big gigs (Maiden in Prague) and festivals this summer (Bloodstock & Burn It Down Festival in Torquay booked up for August). Just a bit busy once the football season is over, not to mention all the gigs in and around it!
