In what’s shaping up to be the metal event of the year, headliners Pantera will be joined by Slayer, Static-X and Cradle Of Filth (above).

The latter, one hopes, will be accompanied by the 10ft vomiting nuns, which they were unable to bring over earlier in the year when they played the Temple Bar Music Centre. What is definite is that Dani and the boys have a new mini-album, Bitter Suites To Succubi, out this week on the Abra Cadaver label.
