  • Heaven & Hell were booked to headline on Sunday, but pulled out due to Ronnie James Dio's continuing health issues.
    • Shortly after Heaven & Hell pulled out, Dio died. The main stage was later renamed the Ronnie James Dio stage in tribute to him.
    • Twisted Sister's headline slot was moved from Friday to Sunday to replace Heaven & Hell. Opeth were then booked to fill the Friday headline slot.
  • Dream Evil were confirmed for the mainstage on Friday, but were forced to pull out due to "personal commitments".
