No love for Atlanta.  Anyway there are your 2006 Ozzfest bands.  Kinda a let down. There are some decent bands playing though.  I think I may just have to go.  I will keep you posted on any new tour dates.

A new metal tour was just announced this past Saturday. It is definitely one not to be over looked. The bands that are going to be on the venue are as follows, Slayer, Lamb of God, Children of Bodom, Mastodon, and Thine Eyes Bleed. This is one of the most impressive band lists for a concert I have seen in a long time. Maybe OzzFest 2006 will out due it, though I doubt it. It is rumored Avenged Sevenfold and Disturbed are playing… Any ways here are the tour dates thus far.

As you can see Atlanta isn’t going to have stop. I want to know why! OzzFest does not come to Atlanta, which is bad enough, then The Unholy Alliance is going to skip the ATL also. *sighs* Any way, it is going to be an awesome show. Hopefully they ad Atlanta to the list.
