A line-up is more than a list of names
Looking back at the announced artists of the 2012 edition reveals how programme planning connects established headliners, influential genre acts and discoveries for a long festival day.
Rock. Metal. Live culture.
The archive behind the volume.
Bangurhead revisits the energy of heavy music through editorial archive stories about festivals, stagecraft and the shared experience of live performance.
From the archive
Stories shaped by the stage
The original festival pages documented line-ups, warm-up events and a growing community. This English edition preserves that history with clearer context for today's readers.
The rhythm of an outdoor festival
From arrival to the final set, a live day depends on many careful transitions.
Why archive context matters
Old announcements gain meaning when dates, formats and changing circumstances are made visible.
About this site
A festival record, read in the present
Bangurhead is an editorial music archive for readers drawn to rock, metal and live culture. Historic material is organised afresh, dated where possible and presented in direct, accessible language.
The archive retains the core of past festival coverage: artist announcements, ticket-era information, warm-up programming and practical festival themes. Outdated commercial details, location-specific guidance and embedded promotions are not retained.

Questions
Archive notes
A short guide to the English edition and the historic material it interprets.
Is this an active festival ticket page?
No. Bangurhead is an editorial archive. References to former ticket offers are retained only as historical context, not as purchase information.
What does this English edition cover?
It offers an English entry point to archive material about rock, metal, festival programming and concert culture.
Are historic dates still current?
No. Dates in archive articles identify past material. Each article is framed as a retrospective rather than an upcoming event notice.
Why are older texts rewritten?
Rewriting makes their purpose and timeframe easier to understand while avoiding obsolete details and direct reproductions of source wording.
Can I find band-related archive material here?
Yes. The archive preserves coverage of past programme announcements and the wider role of artists within live music culture.
How can I contact the editorial team?
Send archive-related notes or factual corrections by email. Messages may inform future editorial updates.
