As Denis already pointed out "bestätigt" means "confirmed". I hope HW will
confirm soon!
Added to the confirmed acts is also Mitch Ryder (which doesn´t excite me much).

LSD is a band from Northern Germany, full name: Late September Dogs. "Eclipsed"
magazine described their music as progressive folk/ethno/dub/trance.

And Think Progressive are trying to book Buddy Guy, the Other Ones (the Grateful
Dead without the dead one) and Peter Hammill.

There will also be an extra reggae stage. And there will be a special Black
Widow Records evening with italian bands like Standarte, Abiogenesi and United
Totem Orchester.

This year´s BH line-up isn´t spectacular IMO. I´m only going to the Cornberg
festival which is a lot smaller. They are selling only 2,000 tickets afaik (my
ticket no. is 1701 by the way - if you want to travel there better be quick!),
whereas there will be some 50,000 BH tickets sold.
