That is why so many NE bands play and why tour packages always end up being a part of the lineup. It just makes sense. A lot of people said Killswitch Engage didn't make sense as a headliner last year, but out of the bands playing, who did? Arch Enemy? Please. KSE is well on their way to headlining bigger venues status, and were at the time as well. We're just not used to them being viewed the way they are nationally because we remember seeing them play VFW's in front of 15 people like any other band. Same thing goes with Shadows Fall and Unearth. You may not like the sound, but it is popular, and at the end of the day, popularity drives your "headlining status." Keeping people in the room means more $$$ on beer sales and all that jazz, so whoever is going to keep people in the room is going to go on later (for the most part). I thought the NJMHF was awesome except for the fact that no one went. If the Palladium was like that, they could do so much more because they could pack 4000-5000 people into the place. But the more bands they fly in and all that stuff, the higher the ticket price is going to go, and the more people will bitch about paying all this money for one or two bands...
