Band ideas for PP 4.0

Hmm, I'll try to split it prog & power, but no guarantees, I'm not much of a prog fan...

PROG:
Queensryche
Vanden Plas
Love History
Evergrey
Rhapsody - ah, they're prog enough

POWER:
Helloween
Sonata Arctica
Elvenking
Freedom Call
Shaman
Running Wild
Ensiferum :D (gotta have SOME death/Viking stuff, no?)

Now, I chose 12 bands because the show's gonna be smidgen bigger next year, right Glenn? I said, RIGHT Glenn?
 
Elvenking
Bal Sagoth
Rhapsody
Nevermore
Savatage
Elegy
Jag Panzer
Shadow Gallery
Borknagar
Royal Hunt

Maybe swap some for Hammerfall, Ice Age, Dragonforce, Freternia, Fates Warning, Sinergy, or Ayreon.

There are other bands I like more but I'm trying to keep the bands prog/power themed.

If we can substitute Opeth for Royal Hunt, and Freedom Call for Jag Panzer, I'd pay $200 for that ticket!
 
Now this is a realistic list of ten...and much more appealing one to boot...

Nightwish
Rhapsody
Sonata Arctica
Stratovarius
Wolverine (must be at next year's ProgPower!!!)
Labyrinth
Evergrey
Vanden Plas
Opeth
Blind Guardian (why not?)
 
OceanMech, love your picture *and* your suggestion of TTP! Though I don't think they'd really fit in that well, I have decided they are the next band I *have* to see no matter what I have to do.
