Portugal’s Vagos Open Air continues to grow. Last year, it extended its original two-day festivities to three, and this year opened up one more slot on the Saturday and Sunday line-ups. Those slots were taken by two Portuguese bands, granting promoters Prime Artists a thumbs-up for supporting the country’s metal scene. So this is how it’s going to play out (headliner-to-opener order):
Friday, 7 August:
WITHIN TEMPTATION (NL)
AMORPHIS (FI)
HEAVEN SHALL BURN (DE)
VILDHJARTA (SE)
MOONSHADE (PT)
SCAR FOR LIFE (PT)
Saturday, 8 August:
BLACK LABEL SOCIETY (USA)
VENOM (UK)
TRIPTYKON (CHE)
DESTRUCTION (DE)
MUTANT SQUAD (ES)
W.A.K.O. (PT)
FILII NIGRANTIUM INFERNALIUM (PT, special guests)
Sunday, 9 August:
BLOODBATH (SE)
OVERKILL (USA)
HALESTORM (USA)
ORPHANED LAND (IL)
NE OBLIVISCARIS (AU)
MIDNIGHT PRIEST (PT)
IRONSWORD (PT, special guests)
