The Thursday line-up announcements have begun today with Gloryhammer. Only just now checking them out and WOW, this might set the bar for cheesiness at a new high. Something to do with the invasion of undead unicorns

Musically it seems like pretty fun power metal though.

For anyone interested. I was at ProgPower this year and conducted 3 interviews with Falconer (Last In Person Interview Ever), Ashes Of Ares, and Native Construct.

If you are interested, feel free to check them out!

Stream of Passion for Wednesday night. Interesting to see a couple Arjen collaborators being lined up for next years fest. Not that it necessarily means anything...

Boom boom boom. Love SoP.

Fuck Europe. Seriously, I would die for 1/2 of these bands.

Hey... can a mod perhaps rename this to just the ProgPower Festival thread or something - instead of it being specific to PPUSA 2015?

Easy choice for them I'm sure, as there will be some crossover members with The Gentle Storm.

I would have been much more excited for SoP 5 years ago. I actually think I failed to even pick up their last release.

Me either. I Spotify'd it... but it was very samey to the 2nd and 3rd. Considering I never saw them ever, I'm all over it now.

They deserve it, and are a class live act. Tim is brilliant live.

Finally for once Chad I can act all smug at a band I have seen 3 times and you haven't seen once.

So are you definitely going? Tickets on sale tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised if it sold out quick this year- might want to hop on it early. I think I'll buy my ticket tomorrow.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #81 on:** October 02, 2015, 09:09:22 PM »

I indeed will be. Haven't cleared it with Mrs Jingle yet, but I've got 11 months.

One of my motto's. If I can't "sell" it in 10-11 months, then I really should look at a new career.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #84 on:** October 03, 2015, 08:08:48 AM »

Well, wtf? Either a glitch at Ticketmaster, or they sold out in 1 minute.

senecadawg2 · « **Reply #85 on:** October 03, 2015, 08:11:35 AM »

I and a bunch of other people got the same error- it's Ticketmaster.

Even on mobile, no tickets available.

Yeah, got my ticket... and damned if I forgot that the Ticketmaster account is liked to the email address that is the one that Mrs. Jingle primarily uses.

"You're going to a concert in Atlanta?"

It's an investment...either I can sell it at triple face value or it is an investment in my happiness.

Nick · « **Reply #94 on:** October 03, 2015, 04:41:03 PM »

FYI, this past year people were selling tickets (to the sold out show) at below face value. I know that's not always the case, but don't expect to get triple or even double the value at any point.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #95 on:** October 03, 2015, 04:54:33 PM »

I'm not. I'm expecting to go.

senecadawg2 · « **Reply #96 on:** October 03, 2015, 09:11:23 PM »

Pretty crazy that it sold out in only 9 hours. Glad I got my ticket early.

I just came back from ProgPower Europe. Needless to say, it was fucking amazing. More later I guess, I have to get some rest first.

Circus Maximus on Thursday now. I reeealllly want to catch that.

I've been hoping for this since the new format was announced - and was teased by it by Nick.

Holy fuck... no shit!!! Love this.... LOVE THIS!!!

Wednesday (September 7, 2016):

Lord (Australia)
Stream of Passion (Netherlands)
Spock's Beard (USA)
Slot #4 - TBA (headliner)

Thursday (Promoter's Pick Night) (September 8, 2016):

Gloryhammer (Switzerland & Scotland)
Circus Maximus (Norway)
Slot # 3 - TBA (headliner)

Oh the possibilities! Possibly another Ted Leonard band, though his others aren't as 'big' as SB. It's gotta be a Tier 1 prog name ... Threshold? Avantasia? DT themselves? Redemption? Kamelot?

Trying to think who hasn't been at PPUSA recently.
