ATHEIST COMPLETES LINEUP FOR CHICAGO POWERFEST 2007

[GateXII]

Reunited technical metal pioneers ATHEIST have just confirmed for CHICAGO POWERFEST 2007 as the Saturday night headliners. The 5th annual metal festival will take place on Friday, April 20th and Saturday, April 21st at The Pearl Room in Mokena, IL (located just outside Chicago).

According to the band, this will be ATHEIST's final performance ever in the midwest United States before the band is put to rest for good. The band's featured lineup will include members Kelly Shaefer (vocals), Steve Flynn (drums), Tony Choy (bass), Chris Baker (guitar), and guitarist Sonny Carson (who will be playing Shaefer's guitar role due to Shaefer's long-running battles with tendonitis and carpal tunnel). If you live in the Midwest, you do not want to miss this show!

Friday:

LETHAL (co-headliner)
SOLITUDE AETURNUS (co-headliner)
BENEDICTUM
SHATTER MESSIAH

Saturday:

Tickets for the fest are on sale now via all Ticketmaster outlets, and will also be made available at various Chicago area locations (The Colliseum, Threshold Music, Discount Records, Metal Haven & Impulse Music) within the next couple weeks on a "cash only" basis. Chicago Powerfest will be an all-ages event, and advance ticket prices are $18 per day or $30 for 2-day pass.

I saw Atheist last year at Evolution Festival...really good band. Here's a clip I found on the net of the same festival, as well as the running order of bands last year. It was a good festival to see lots of strange bands that are really difficult to see otherwise. The video clip is crap...I think it was taken with a cellphone camera.

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

[Will Bozarth]

Eric T... I'm planning on flying out there for this, myself.

[EricT]

Opeth_DT, I refuse to participate in any gay sex with you. Unless of course you have a guardian present.

 

[Will Bozarth]
