Getting really excited for PPUSA to return in June.
I'm a bit lukewarm atm. Mostly because I'm concerned if it still happens (I lean towards yes it will) but more importantly, what line up changes are going to happen still. Basically every line up change has lowered my enthusiasm, of no fault to the people running the show, and it's more of my tastes type of thing. I've considered the idea of trying to offload my ticket, cut my loses, and save on not spending on airfare/hotel. But really, this festival is a great time and I think even if the line up isn't for me, I will still have fun. I'll be more excited when we get closer and things are 100% locked.
In case anyone is wondering, here's the current line up after some major changes to Day 1 (hope I didn't screw it up, since the website isn't updated this is based on facebook posts from the last month or so):
Day 1:
Hypocrisy
Flotsam & Jetsam
Klone
Mindmaze
Day 2:
Stratovarius
Pain of Salvation
Seven Spires
NorthTale
Wilderun
Day 3:
Conception
Jeff Scott Soto (Performing a Special Queen Tribute Set)
Jason Bieler and the Baron Von Bielski Orchestra
Witherfall
Ęther Realm
Arch Echo
Day 4:
Turilli/Lione Rhapsody
Ihsahn
Ray Alder
Brothers of Metal
Thank You Scientist
Arion
I think I want to see Arion the most, followed by Witherfall and Stratovarius. I'd love to meet Roy Khan for the Conception meet and greet as well.
