At this point artists announcements and rumors are coming in faster than I can collate them into posts so its time to revert to "the list". Below is every confirmed band that I am aware of as well as all of the rumors that have crossed my desk. If you know a confirmed band that needs to be added, or hear a hot rumor or even want to start one, let us know!
