We should be creating a template for these posts... Unsurprising but another shame, Sabaton's superb hometown festival falls like another heavy metal domino. I attended the 2018 festival with my then 10-year-old son and can't recommend it highly enough. The full statement from the organisers is below, and we look forward to see them building … Continue reading Sabaton Open Air postponed to 2021

2018 Crew Review: Iain “Mosh” Purdie – Editor in Chief
Well I guess it's my turn to rattle off some thoughts on 2018. On a personal note, it's been a tricky year and also a very busy one for many reasons. "Real work" has picked up, meaning I've had to juggle / pass off Moshville Times duties to Ross for significant periods of time. So … Continue reading 2018 Crew Review: Iain “Mosh” Purdie – Editor in Chief
Sabaton Open Air 2018 – Overall Review (everything but the bands!)
We've already published reviews of the four band-bearing days at Sabaton Open Air 2018 (Wed / Thu / Fri / Sat), but there's a lot more to this Swedish event than just the music. The main reason I headed here this year was because my son loves Sabaton. He's ten years old, his first gig was … Continue reading Sabaton Open Air 2018 – Overall Review (everything but the bands!)

Formed in 2014, they're a relatively young band and one of the lighter acts of the festival, with a melodic … Continue reading Sabaton Open Air 2018 – Day 3 Review
Sabaton Open Air 2018 – Day 2 Review
Today we saw the larger Heroes Stage in use, with Beast in Black the first band we saw treading the boards after Dalriada had played earlier. Unfortunately we missed them due to playing with the kids (hey, it's a family festival), but BiB were a great band to open our own day. Great heavy metal with … Continue reading Sabaton Open Air 2018 – Day 2 Review
Sabaton Open Air 2018 – Day 1 Review
I'm going to revisit the festival as a whole in a later post, but for now here are the bands featured on the main stage for the first day, Thursday. Trollfest opened proceedings with balloons and madcap antics. Giving the sound system a real check, their insane sax-backed music hit all the high and low … Continue reading Sabaton Open Air 2018 – Day 1 Review
