I see what you're getting at. On the one hand, Evergrey has been trying so hard to get over here and tour, it would be kind of silly of them not to take advantage of the fact that they're going to be here. On the other hand, I guess this means that they won't be able to attend the pre-party or hang out the first night of the festival.

Yeah, the problem is Evergrey is THIRD on that list..and that they're not headlining..

Plane tickets???

I'm still waiting for confirmation from Evergrey and/or their label...

Arch Enemy is more popular in the US is all, makes sense they headline. At least the venues will be full when Evergrey plays unlike the 1st slot.

Evergrey may already have told them about the PPIV and they could be replacing them on the bill or playing longer sets with the 3 other bands... it's possible.. glass not always 1/2 empty heheh

I don't think anyone was surprised that they're opening for Arch Enemy. I think they were surprised that they're going on after Hatebreed.

Unnecessary. The dates don't conflict with Evergrey's ProgPower performance.

Hatebreed? there is no hate breed. Hate eternal is a death metal act and yes, even they are bigger draws in most US cities.

I will say that it is an interesting tour for evergrey to get on. You have 3 death metal acts and then evergrey. I love diverse shows unlike some people but it does seem interesting.
