Back To The Beginning festivities kicked off at 1:30pm BST (8:30am EST) today, and already Mastodon, Rival Sons, Anthrax, and Halestorm have taken the stage in the last 40 minutes.
Thanks to a list of set times posted online yesterday, fans had an idea of the length of sets, but it's looking like each band will be performing 3 songs, one of them being a Black Sabbath cover.
Up until Gojira, each set is approximately 15 minutes long (hence, the approximate 3-song limit).
Here's what Mastodon, Rival Sons, Anthrax, and Halestorm played.
Mastodon
1. "Black Tongue"
2. "Blood and Thunder"
3. "Supernaut" (Black Sabbath cover, with Gojira drummer Mario Duplantier, featuring Danny Carey and Eloy Casagrande)
Rival Sons
1. "Do Your Worst"
2. "Electric Funeral" (Black Sabbath cover)
3. "Secrets"
Anthrax
1. "Indians"
2. "Into the Void" (Black Sabbath cover)
3. "TBD"
Halestorm
1. "Love Bites (So Do I)"
2. "Rain Your Blood on Me"
3. "Perry Mason" (Ozzy Osbourne cover)
