So has Lythum Fest too. 

Add Lolla Paris and I-Days Milan to the list. They don‘t usually have crossover for the big acts do they?

I thought halestorm were a decent support

I don't think they're bad! But I'm reminded of Metallica having Ghost the other year, for example, a band very much themselves with an arena pull to some extent.

 

This being said, hearing a lot of neutral chatter from folk I know interested in that London Stadium show. Reckon that a few will hang fire too until Glastonbury's sale has been and gone, and then may plump for it as a consolation.

I prefer Halestorm to Ghost so.

Halestorm don't have the corpse of the Pope playing a sax solo, which is a mark against them next to Ghost, alas.

 

But it's more reflective of size. Ghost were on the verge of becoming an arena band at that point. I'm not sure, a one-off at Wembley Arena aside, Halestorm have that pull across the rest of the UK to compare.

 

Alter Bridge wouldn't have been a bad shout, had Creed not taken priority.

Yea size wise you are correct. Creed however would have been the one.

I mean, if Maiden had booked a tour with Creed supporting, you would have not seen me home for many a week.

No I would have made sure I booked a date.
