I was wondering if anyone is going to Witchfest this year?

I'm so excited I'm pooping rainbows! :D
 
What is witchfest? not that I'm interested - witches scare me and give me nightmares, but I'm curious.
 
I googled it. A music festival. The artist all have scary and unholy names. Sounds like a blast. Enjoy to the max.

Thanks I love music, but not to the point of getting sadistically scared.
 
Witchfest is a metal music festival over the easter weekend. Lots of very shouty music, head banging and mosh pits.
 
Oh wow! I really don't want to go! I would rather stick pins in my eyes or watch a 5 day cricket game! ;-)
 
Mosh pits?

Moshing, or slamdancing, is a style of dance where participants push or slam into each other. It is usually associated with “aggressive” music genres, such as hardcore punk and numerous styles of heavy metal. It is primarily done to live music, although it can be done to recorded music.[1]

Variations of moshing exist, and can be done alone as well as in groups. Moshing usually happens in a "pit" (sometimes called a "mosh pit") and is intended to be energetic and full of body contact. Variations on the traditional mosh include "pogoing", "circle pits" and the more extreme "wall of death", and are typically done in an area in the center of the crowd, generally closer to the stage.[citation needed]

While moshing is seen as a form of positive feedback or expression of enjoyment,[1][2] it has also drawn criticism over dangerous excesses occurring in offshoots. Injuries have been reported in mosh pits, and a few deaths have occurred in a "Wall of Death", an offshoot that developed when slamdancing was adopted at metal shows from its origin at punk shows.

In my days we just called it a barney, and quite exiting when the girls get over exited and start tearing the clothes off each other :D

Lol, i have to say the mosh pit is not my cup of tea

But if it was all nice looking babes wrestling in the mud, thats another story....
 
Ah man... this thread is too awesome! :D

I'm generally a wallflower who prefers watching the bands than getting all riled up in a mosh pit. I know metal music is only enjoyed few, but if you do enjoy it, the bands on the line up are pretty damn awesome. All in all there are 12 international bands playing all of which are top class musicians in their own right.

There are far too few metal heads in the world :)
