"On hold"

The seventh edition took place at Oktoberhallen in Wieze in the municipality of Lebbeke on October 17 and October 18, 2009.[1]

Theatre of Tragedy, who had already pulled out of the 2006 festival,[2] were initially scheduled to perform on October 20 as the fifth band on the bill. On February 2 it was announced that they had decided to cancel their appearance, with no explanation given. They were replaced by Autumn. The Gathering and After Forever also canceled, respectively on February 15,[3] being replaced by Delain, and May 4,[4] being replaced by Flowing Tears. The lineup was later reshuffled so Sirenia and Epica ended up taking After Forever and The Gathering's place. Darzamat, Autumn and Imperia also pulled out shortly before the date of the festival.[5][6][7]

Held on October 21 at Oktoberhallen in Wieze. Theatre of Tragedy canceled their appearance on October 20 because two band members were sick.[2] Delain were initially going to play as a special guest,[9] but they effectively replaced Theatre of Tragedy in the lineup. The event was also dedicated to the late Elis singer, Sabine Dünser, who passed on July of that year. The remaining members of Elis were in attendance at the festival and had performed the year prior at the event.[10]
