Why would they move up to co-headliner? They haven't done anything since they played last.

Pardon me General but where have you been, by the time ProgPowerVIII rolls around they will have released 2 studio albums (SUBSURFACE & PILOT IN THE SKY OF DREAMS) and a live CD/DVD.

I for one cant wait to see them...They Blew me away seeing them at PPIII and I didnt know who they were, now I own all their stuiff and I am a Big Fan!!!!!!

 

[Torn2Shreds]

OH HELL YEAH!!! I am SOOOOOOO glad that Threshold is coming back to play ProgPower!!! All of you people who have not heard of them are in for a real treat...

Thank you so much Glenn....

Plus Critical Energy (the Live CD/DVD mentioned above) has footage from their ProgPower III apperance!!!

 

[Ascension]

Great returning band...they & Angra were the reason l was at PPIII. They will not disappoint.

 

[Kenneth R.]

EXCELLENT choice Glenn!

 

[Primal]

Awesome! Can't wait to see these guys and I agree, this is shaping up to be the best PP yet. Also, I just got the limited edition of Threshold's Subsurface with a bonus track and the Threshold DVD from the Dynasty Metal Music closing sale and looks like they still have some available as it is still on their site (www.dynastymetalmusic.com) so get them and check them out.

 

[Heavenly Call]

YES! This is EXCELLENT news!!!! I hope they give SUBSURFACE a good chunk of the set-list (3-4 songs would rule) as that is my favorite album of theirs, but anything is great!!!! WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!

 

[dcowboys311]

I haven't heard much from them, but what I've heard I really, really liked. I can't wait!

 

[eboles]

I finally get to see them live!
Nice job Glenn!

 

[AngraRULES]

For some reason I have never been able to get into them, and I have two albums. Which one in the opinion of you guys is the best one of all? They definitely deserve another chance, and I'm looking forward to once again check them out.

I believe this is a solid choice, and lots of people are happy. Maybe until the fest comes I'll be a Threshold fan too.

Rock the fuck on. I think KimK and I are psychic, btw.

Hey, I want some credit, too! Here is my post from Sept of this year:

Okay, here's my proposed PP. My rules were:

• no more than three repeaters (although that rule isn't really in place anymore)
• Not just picking my personal favorite bands, but picking ones that would be realistic and affordable
• Picking a mix of Prog and Power
• Leaving a spot or two blank, since Glenn usually comes up with something new and different

Virgin Steele - 5th - Power
Threshold - 4th - Prog
Redemption - 3rd - Prog
Falconer - 2nd - Power
Unknown Prog band - 1st

Sonata Arctica - 5th - Power
Lana Lane - 4rd - Prog
Unknown Third band - Power
Wolverine - 2nd - Prog
Cloudscape - 1st - Power

To my not-very-objective eyes, this looks like an affordable mix of prog (5 of each). I don't know if it would have a "WOW" factor, but it does have some bands that have been often requested (Redemption, Sonata, Wolverine).

Okay, I screwed up on the slot for Virgin Steele, and I somehow picked Cloudscape instead of Communic, but otherwise I am right there (if you include Raintime and Firewind as my 'unknown' bands) !

Awesome news. I've been a fan of this band for a long time, and look forward to finally seeing them live.

And hooray for being sponsors again!

[TheWhisper]

[J-Dubya 777]

In my opinion HYPOTHETICAL is their best and then CRITICAL MASS, I believe those two are heads and tails above the rest, not that their others are bad, I just think those two are that good!!!

 

[ReaLM]

Awesome!
I knew there was a reason I listened to Subsurface like 5 times last week!
This year's line-up is shaping up to be awesome!

I can't wait to find out the other headliners.

With the Holidays, it's good to be early..

Those 2 are great jumping on points...l like Clone alot too. l can listen to the 2 songs "Freaks" and "Angels" over & over.

They haven't done anything in the sense that they aren't a bigger act now than they were when they last played PP. They haven't toured the US, been on MTV2, made the leap to a bigger label, etc. etc. etc.
