Guess The 2015 Roster

My prediction:

Friday:
A headliner I've heard of
A band I've never heard of
A band I've never heard of
A band I may have heard of
A band I've never heard of
An opener I might have heard of, but probably not.

Saturday:
A headliner I have heard of
A band I've never heard of
A band I've never heard of
A band I may have heard of
A band I've heard of
An opener no one has ever heard of

And you'll still see me at the fest anyway, because it means I get exposed to new and awesome bands. :)
 
This is my favorite post of the thread!

Ding! Ding! Plus, this was supposed to be the end as well so that was a factor.

Jesus, if I had known it was going to be the last ProgPower ever, I would have tried harder to afford it this year! As it stands, I can't make it for the first time in 8 years, but I feel better knowing that it sold out and some Savatage fan got to go this year to see Streets instead of me. But even so, I feel like I would have wanted to be there for the very last set, regardless.

It's actually not the last one though. Not anymore.
 
I'm still holding out for Poets of the Fall. New album coming soon, large discography, interesting videos, a good live reputation... probably doesn't cost THAT much to book...
 
Yeah, I know, but still, was this common knowledge when the lineup was announced? I feel like I completely missed it if that was the case.
I don't think Glenn ever officially said it would be the last one, but he's been hinting for a few years that things are winding down and that it would be handled on a year by year basis - good ticket sales increase the likelihood of another year, bad ticket sales decrease it. Had ticket sales not gone well, it wouldn't have come as a surprise for Glenn to confirm that there wouldn't be a PPUSA XVI. The fact that he said a few years ago that he wanted Jon Oliva to close out the final fest playing "When the Crowds Are Gone" certainly added to the fear/speculation since he's headlining on Saturday.
 
I won't even begin to guess all of the bands, so here is what I'd like to see as the top acts for both nights:

Friday

Either UDO or Accept (Co-headliner)
Sonata Arctica (Co-headliner)
Vanishing Point

Saturday:

Kamelot (Headliner)
Threshold
Visions of Atlantis
