    These are a bit more interesting than the first few.
    They work to get the lean started in the Gettysburg direction.

    Anglagard?

    I was already 100% in before this. Is it possible to be more certain now?

    This couldn't be the first RosFest sell out, could it?

    Anglagard is a great headliner. Maybe this will finally entice some of the old Nearfesters who have so far passed on Rosfest.

    This lineup is starting to sound like NEARfest. Maybe I'll go next year. I sure do miss NF

    I miss NF, attended a number of them over the years, loved it. I've never attended RF, but this may be the year that changes. I loved the diversity of NF, exposed me to many bands over the years that I may have otherwise never listened to.

    We're really looking forward to playing and appreciate the Rosfest team booking us, especially as we push the boundaries of progressive music.

    Someone at this years Rosfest mentioned to me that the only way for the festival(Rosfest)to grow and get a larger attendance is for it to be more diverse(much the same way NF was). While I don't necessarily agree with that entirely(I think it depends largely on the acts themselves(how well known they are)and also location(which doesn't seem to be too much of a problem for most people although it is maybe a bit too far away from most major cities for some people)I do see the point he was trying to make.

    Gettysburg does seem like an odd place for a music festival but it's also a beautiful area. I'm not sure how I could swing going to this but I could give it a try to et to half of it. By the way what is the fierce and the dead like?

    Unfortunately, due to this festival not being friendly to those with school aged children, I won't be able to see Anglagard. In general, I can never stay long enough to see the Sunday headliner because I need to get back in time to pick up my son and get him to bed at a proper hour so that he can go to school the next day.

    Not saying that anyone should change for me, but it is a reality for RoSFest for me for the forseeable future.

    I went to all but the first two NEARFests and I only live about 90 minutes from Gettysburg. Since it's close I usually go to ROSFest for one day just to hit the vendor room and see one or two bands that interest me, but with Anglagard on Sunday night I may do the entire weekend for the first time.

    Hmmm. If they book one more interesting band in the Anglagard vein I will consider this for the first time. What is the best airport to arrive at?
