Day 2

Dude, seriously? Fuck this volcano. Due to the mass closure of European airspace and flight cancellations, at least six bands were forced to cancel. I know I’m not the only fan who was bummed to hear we’d be missing out on Candlemass’ Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, let alone Jesu, Shrinebuilder, Evoken, Yakuza, and my buds The Gates of Slumber, but the quick-thinking Roadburn staff and a few bands that were willing to go above and beyond the call of duty and offer up some help.
