Children of Bodom, The Black Dahlia Murder, Skeletonwitch

On this night, three metal bands have come together to create a unique musical atmosphere that all metal heads would be amazed and satisfied with from all various angles.

UNEXPECT should be the first act supporting DREAM THEATER followed up by BIGELF and OPETH.
