I'm thinking of going to Pratteln the 8th of october to see Sabaton (www.sabaton.net), but I'm afraid I may be the only one in CH who even know of the band

Anyone else thinking about going there?

I know of them, but don't like them sorry!

I saw them at Z7 during a festival last year - not impressed with the vocals. But each to their own... I'll be visiting Z7 quite a few times this year, once their summer break is finished.

I would have totally gone to this but my holiday to Switzerland starts only in Dec. I'm going to go see Finntroll, Samael, Metsatöll and some other bands at Z7 on 12 December. Do you know of them?

Looks like Sabaton will be playing again next year at Z7 at their 3-day festival at the end of May.

Not a very exciting lineup to date in my opinion, but plenty of time yet. Destruction are great though!

I've seen Finntroll about 5 times and have several of their CDs. I think I'll be out of town when they come to Basel though. I'm looking forward to Therion and Rhapsody of Fire in the next few months. Somewhat lacking in good really heavy stuff though this year at Z7...

A pity, I was hoping to find someone to go with.
