Now integrated. Not perfect, as I think I'm missing some big festivals (2022's Rock am Ring, Download, Aftershock, to name a few) but we have a good start. dannymusiceditoroops17:40, 26 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Onegreatjoke: I'd happily replace them if I could think of any others. DYK is not my forte. I thought the first one was pretty good with the added context, so I'm surprised, but I'll try to comb through and see if I find any others that stick out enough to me. Most of the material in here seems like pretty routine band encyclopedia history. I'd initially think to pull something from musical style, because they are pretty unique in that regard, but I don't know how I'd present it to make it look that way in the brevity that DYK asks for. dannymusiceditoroops02:09, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
