See if you can convince them to come to El Paso texas, we have lots of BG fans here.

 

[INFINITE-DREAMS]

DON'T BE TEASING!! THAT WOULD BE AN AWESOME PLACE TO SEE THEM.

 

[Palabra de Dios]

Good news. Let's hope that if they are planning on playing Kansas that they'll come to Atlanta, or even better: Charlotte, NC. Somewhere near South Carolina at least!!!

Brandon I am not teasing. I instant message with the major promoter around these parts very often. He said this is one of the more expensive concerts he is doing this year. So it will be me, zane, you, and a couple of my friends right at the front on November 19!!!

 

[Strigoi]

Damn I move from the area and BG is going to play a show there. I may have to make a trip back that weekend.

[The_Kinslayer]

Yes!!!! An Atlanta date!!!! *dances*

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

A fucking Philly date and on a SATURDAY no less! Thank you, God!!!

 

[Harvester]

It would appear they have taken the next step up in terms of venues. Jaxx seems like a world away....

Which is good news. Even though I am not a fan of most of the power metal bands, I am still happy to see a growth in interest that allows them to do these tours over here. I know this kinda makes your job harder, as these bands are not exclusives to PP any longer.

 

[High Speed Kurt]

NEW FUCKING ORLEANS!

 

[Jasonic]

Nov 21 in Chicago for me!!! Woo hoo!!!

 

[Pellaz]

Good to see the Roxy booking shows like this. It's owned and booked (ultimately) by CCE, so I'm thinking the success of some recent prog/power tours -- and ProgPower itself -- is turning some corporate heads.
Not that I'm a big fan of corporate involvement, but a rising tide lifts all boats....

 

[Nightmare1z]

I've never been to the Roxy though. Isn't that a much larger venue (I believe even Elton John has played there before when he came to Atlanta one time)...

Still, glad to see them not skipping GA

 

[Curufin]

I am SO glad the San Franisco show is at The Fillmore and not The Pound. I fucking hate that place.

 

[Pellaz]

The Roxy is not a huge venue -- I think its capacity is around 1200 -- but it's a very nice one, with a down-sloping floor and a good-sized stage. As I recall, one of its few drawbacks is a smallish backstage area, which ruled it out for ProgPower waybackwhen.

 

[Curufin]

Well, I'll be going to anywhere from 5 to 7 of these shows. This is going to rule.

December
1 - Palladium in Worcester, MA

Hell yeah!
