Any guesses on who the final 2 bands will be?
I'm going to say Iced Earth and Within Temptation. Both would be worthy headliners.

Considering the money saved so far (with few bands commanding top dollar to play), I expect something "bigger"....
Ayreon.
Sure, it's a logistical nightmare. However, half of the singers/band has performed here (Floor, Allen, Wilson, Swano..) and I would imagine Arjen would be happy to do it, if the price was right and everyone was available.
As for the other, I'm expecting Iced Earth or Symphony X.
Folks;
No way in hell does Rhapsody play ProgPower. Their is a better chance of the Anti-Defamation League hosting a dinner-concert with Prussian Blue as the headliner than Rhapsody playing PPUSA. No way does Luca lower (in his mind) himself to play in a thousand-seat auditorium. Furthermore, Glenn could not afford the fee unless he gets MAJOR sponsorship ("COUGH" Coke "COUGH"). Now, if Glenn cannot afford Advantasia, how is he going to afford Rhapsody or Ayreon?
No way in hell Rhapsody is more expensive than Avantasia or Ayreon. At least, I don't think.
Everyone hoping/thinking Rhapsody..
I HOPE TOO!!!!!
Take a look at their touring schedule.....All Arenas. Case Closed.
They opened for Manowar playing places like Palladium. Places that Nightwish & Sonata Arctica headline on their own.
