Any tips for PP 2007?

[renejanssen]

As we have proven this year once more we are always looking for some nice surprises in the line-up. I think we managed pretty well this year.

So do you guys and girls have any tips of some unknow band that could surprise many people? We are always interested to hear your opinion.

[Tyrianny]

Not exactly unknown... but I surely would like to see Voyager again on ProgPower!!!
Suggestion: headlining on Saturday...?

Well, we have an 'unwritten rule', none of the bands that played the mainstage will play next year, we only might invite bands from the pre-party back a year later to perform on the mainstage.

But no doubt Voyager will return someday!!

Last new release I'm really getting into is Seventh Wonder, their new album " Waiting in the Wings" is just awesome !! From the US Outworld releases a great album very soon now, very powerful and yet progressive metal with master guitar player Rusty Cooley. They also played on PP USA 2 years ago I think.

I would love to see Anathema at Prog Power (I know they already played there a while ago but still )

else: Into Eternity, Madder Mortem and Gojira would be awesome (talking about well known bands) and Fates Warning (but dunno if thats realistic)

for the surprises, check out SERENITY, its a great band from Austria sounding a bit like a mix of Evergrey and Kamelot, very talented guys, they just recorded a new album now:

[Dries]

Maybe too soft for PP but still very good (but I think Rene, we already discussed this one):
Elfonia

From mr Noren's list I would very, very, much welcome:
Redemption

And zerogravity's suggestion to bring back Andromeda also sound good to me.

And there are also some other bands:
Wolverine, Anathema, Green Carnation, Dreamtone, one of Henning Pauly's projects, TOC, Zero Hour, AtmOsfear, Vision Divine, Shadow Gallery, Opeth, Neverland

 

[DragonLady1]

oh Zero Hour would be excellent!!!!

and another tipp from my side: COURAGEOUS
great band from Germany, they sound a bit like Nevermore
check out http://www.courageousmusic.de/

 

[Inge]

Bring WASTEFALL over, they are both Greek and excellent! +1 for Into Eternity.

I also have a non band related tip.

No more Heineken uke:

 

[carnut]

I also have a non band related tip.

No more Heineken uke:

Well, I was afraid to mention it, but some good ol' Belgian brew would lift the quality of the festival

 

[sandokan]

Headliner Saturday: Opeth, After Forever, Evergrey, Pain of Salvation, Into Eternity, Ayreon/Streams of Passion, Soilwork.

Tips:
-Redemption (http://www.ivorygate.com/redemption/)
-Regicide (http://www.regicide.de/)


[edit-mode]
Please flush the Heineken.....

[noren]

I like Heiniken...
...but that dark beer they had was terrible.

 

[Inge]

For sure, it tasted like someone stired some HAGELSLAG into it.

 

[russel]

Well, we now got swedish size on the glasses.
Next step would be swedish beer.. Nils Oscar's kalasöl!!!
