According to the MDF Facebook page: "It looks like we'll be announcing the venue info sometime next week. It's impossible to put a precise date on that announcement, but everything is coming together. The final announcement of bands will be sometime between October 8-10. Until we get to the end of the booking process and see what comes together or not, we don't know who is headlining other than Venom (between Fri-Sun) and Bolt Thrower (Thurs). Tickets will go on sale by mid-October. We'll keep you posted on a precise date. NOTE: The Thursday show will be inside only, so once again, 4-day passes and Thursday only tickets will be extremely limited."

I am super curious about where in Baltimore this will be held. So please continue to visit the MDF page and Metallomusikum for more details on the festival. Like last year, I plan to interview or at least profile every single band slated to perform. That was fun, wasn't it? Well, it was for me. Carry on....
