A bill built across rock and metal
The original announcement paired melodic hard rock, power metal, thrash, heavy metal and darker atmospheric sounds. It also noted that further artists were expected to be added as the programme developed.

The bands behind a loud summer.
This page preserves the originally announced rock and metal programme for the 2012 festival edition: a snapshot of established names, emerging acts and the broad sound of the bill.
Programme record
An announcement, kept in context
The source page presented an early list of confirmed performers. Bangurhead republishes the information as an archive record, rather than a current event announcement.
Historical, not a current schedule
The 2012 edition is in the past. This list is retained for readers researching the former programme and should not be used for travel, ticketing or attendance plans.
Names as originally announced
Artist names are retained as programme data. Promotional wording, sales prompts and external commercial material from the original page have been removed.
Confirmed acts
2012 programme archive
The original page listed these sixteen acts and indicated that twelve additional artists were still to follow. Bangurhead does not infer the later additions where they are not present in the preserved source.

Reading the list
What this archive includes
Programme pages are useful records of a festival’s changing shape. They show the acts that had been publicly named at one point in time, not necessarily a final running order.
Artist record
Confirmed names from the preserved list are made easy to scan, with capitalisation adjusted for readable archive presentation.
Publication context
The source refers to the 2012 edition and describes the programme as incomplete at the time of publication.
Careful preservation
Commercial links, embedded promotions and unrelated material have been excluded to keep the focus on music history.
Archive questions
Useful context
A short guide to reading historic programme pages on Bangurhead.
Is this a current festival line-up?
No. This page documents a 2012 programme announcement and is not a current line-up, schedule or event guide.
Why are there fewer names than the source suggested?
The preserved page explicitly listed sixteen artists and stated that additional acts would follow. Only the named artists are included here.
Does the list show set times or stage assignments?
No. The source page did not provide a running order, set times or stage details, so none are added to this archive.
Why have ticket and shop references been removed?
They were time-sensitive commercial links from an expired event context. Bangurhead keeps the editorial record separate from sales material.
Can I use this page to verify an artist appearance?
It shows that an artist was publicly announced on the preserved programme page. For detailed historical research, compare it with additional contemporaneous sources.
