Blind Channel, Dark Tranquillity, Ensiferum, Insomnium, Moonspell, Hypocrisy, Septicflesh, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Finntroll, and Monuments were some of the main headliners. All of the present metal fans will remember this event since each of these performers brought their own distinctive flair and enthusiasm to the stage.
One of the festival's high points was Blind Channel's ferocious performance. The crowd was up dancing and hollering thanks to their upbeat music and stage antics. Ensiferum's folk-inspired metal and Dark Tranquillity's melodic death metal were also well-liked by the audience.
