    Roster update (Day 1) & more...

    Glenn, Thanks for the response, it means a lot. I felt a need to vent. I know you guys have done your best in recent months to try to make it happen, and I really do appreciate it. It pains me that you guys spent all that extra money and it didn't turn out to be enough. I recognize that...

    Roster update (Day 1) & more...

    I appreciate that people want to be supportive, and obviously the primary obstacle is USCIS, but after a bear attack, it's more productive to examine what left you vulnerable to the bear than to complain about the bear itself. The promoters have told you themselves they did not anticipate the...

    Roster update (Day 1) & more...

    Narrowly avoided complete disaster, but it's still a massive disappointment to lose two of the bands I was most looking forward to in the first two days. Perhaps the festival would need to just budget for the premium fees going forward. I appreciate that you guys are doing your best, and...

    Predictions/Wishes for PPUSA XXI?

    Only band I can think of that would bring me to Atlanta is Conception.

    Quick question on 2-day tickets

    Yes they're two separate tickets, so what you're suggesting is possible. Though personally, I'd suggest trying to get two complete sets, since Day 4's lineup is crazy good. Check out some of the other bands if you're not familiar with them.

    Wind Rose forced to cancel appearance

    Very sad for Wind Rose. Also happy for Paladin. Both bands are good, but it always sucks to lose a tour. How many bands are still pending? I've been able to find some reference to approvals for everybody but Secret Sphere, Insomnium, Tomorrow's Eve, Galneryus, and Demons and Wizards (though...

    Bands you are most looking forward to seeing at PPUSA XX?

    I'm a first timer at ProgPower this year. Top 5 most anticipated are Caligula's Horse, Seventh Wonder, Demons and Wizards, Insomnium, Threshold. I still struggle to get into Orden Ogan. Hopefully seeing their show will change that a bit.

    Pretty Maids Cancel ProgPower USA Appearance

    They couldn't go wrong with any band on Friday/Saturday, if any bands are available to come early. I suppose it's suboptimal for marketing the event, and they seem to have quite a few tickets left to sell, but I'd much rather have a great band play a second set if the other options aren't very...

    Pretty Maids Cancel ProgPower USA Appearance

    I know it's a longshot but any chance you could give a Day 3/4 band a second set? Would love to see more Caligula's Horse, for example!

    Re-Entry and loaning?

    OK thanks, I was a little confused at the policy so I’m glad to have that cleared up.

    Re-Entry and loaning?

    So, this is my first ProgPower, and most shows I go to have a strict no re-entry policy. Browsing this forum, it seems things may be different here? I have a friend who really wants to see a set that I might be able to do without, but didn't get a chance to get a ticket. While it seems likely...
