CHICAGO POWERFEST 2009 ANNOUNCES DATES & WELCOMES PAGANFEST

[GateXII]

The 7th edition of the CHICAGO POWERFEST will take place at the Pearl Room in Mokena, Illinois on May 7-9, 2009.

Also, in keeping with a new annual Powerfest tradition of a Thursday night "kick-off" show, organizers/promoters CRJ Productions are very pleased to welcome the next Paganfest USA tour, featuring PRIMORDIAL, ELUVEITIE, MOONSORROW and BLACKGUARD (formerly Profugus Mortis) on May 7th.

Commented CRJ: "Here we are again, preparing for yet another installment of an ultimate weekend of some amazing metal!! And what better way to start things off again in high gear, than by getting the next Paganfest tour routed through the Powerfest for the kick-off night!!! All in all, things are progressing quite well and we're looking forward to what 2009 will bring. Stay tuned for more confirmed bands being announced in the coming weeks."

Once again, tickets will be available for individual days as well as 2-day & 3-day ticket combos. CRJ Productions will also continue with its official fan sponsorship/VIP program this year that will give fans a higher level of participation in the fest and a chance to take advantage of some cool perks. More details regarding tickets and the VIP programs will be made available soon.

Congratulations guys.

Veggie and I will be there in spirit.

Thanks, but sorry to hear you guys can't make it.

Although, you know what they say...where there's a will, there's a way.

 

[Will Bozarth]

I'll be there, so there will be a way!

eagerly awaiting this coming year's sponsorship information

[Will Bozarth]

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

Well I guess there wont be any brutal death metal then since they DONT REALLY PLAY their instruments.

You know I think you're awesome, Ian, but if you are being serious with that statement, I must second the *rolls eyes*.

 

[booB]

I hope to make it, but I can't promise anything. I'm hoping to move right around that time.

It wasnt entirely serious, but I hate the genre.

 

[The Wicked One]

sooo you guys talk to Pyramaze yet?

 

[GateXII]

sooo you guys talk to Pyramaze yet?

We talked about them.

I'm interested in bands over the weekend now... the fact that Primordial is headlining paganfest increases my chances of showing up with 1 good band (see: bands I like) on the main fest by a large amount. I shall throw a suggestion and say ZERO HOUR.

 

[MetalNations]

We talked about them.

I would not waste my time, if I were you... lol

 

[wildfyr]

Not too interested in the Paganfest, 'cept for maybe one band, so

No bands announced, .

+1

No other Fri/Sat night bands, that is. Yet.

 

[Rycher]

I'm hoping for a Bloodbath announcement!

 

[Machine of Hate]

yay! can't wait again!

 

[Will Bozarth]

I'm hoping for a Bloodbath announcement!

as awesome as that would be, I wouldn't get to see Swano live.... so I don't care about Bloodbath anymore.

 

[JayKeeley]

Primordial on the PaganFest tour is just astounding (considering I thought the target market was the NWOJFM crowd). That they're headlining is remarkable.

So when are the announcements for the remaining PowerFest roster? Flights to reserve, hotels to book, and all that.

 

[The Wicked One]

lol

i think they meant it to be New Wave of Just Folk Metal?

anyway......What are the chances Persuader can be asked to come over again?
