Notice also our very own Will Bozarth will be doing an acoustic set on Friday night as well.

Can't wait to see/hear it!

 

[The Wicked One]

BTW Diamond Plate is opening on Saturday......

shit if you keep this up I may want to go Saturday just to leave after Novembers Doom.

 

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

Nice guys!!!

 

[Will Bozarth]

I'm looking forward to bringing my brand of acoustic douchbaggery to Powerfest. Thanks for the opportunity, guys.

Awesome news. Can't wait for the headliner announcement and to finally be able to buy tix.

 

[ShadowLioness]

GWYNBLEIDD! Nice! Those guys rawketh.

It'll be very interesting to hear Sacred Dawn unplugged.

Yay Will! Now I can throw those tomatoes I've been savin' for ya. Seriously, looking forward to hearing you.

GWYNBLEIDD? Nice add. I'm very psyched to hear their next disc. The samples sound exceptionally promising.

Hey Will... congrats.

We're glad to be part of this. The new album will be there.. unless you manage to pick it up prior. this show will be interesting... and frankly, the acoustic aspect of it might make us sound like an entirely different band.. sure, there will be some moments from Nostalgia, and from Amaranthine, but so far it's shaping up to be a bunch of unreleased new music arranged specifically for this ocasion. Some of it was used during the Ballet Deviare productions but in a slighly different form.

Last time I saw Sacred Dawn play acoustic was ... well, I guess I really don't remember the details.
Ha Ha!

This will be good.
Looking forward to it.

Kind of shame you guys aren't doing a proper set. After Novembers Doom, you guys and Mindwarp Chamber are the two bands I'd want to see most.

As the Saturday headliner is about as much a secret as Paris Hilton's blowjob skills, it's a safe bet that I'll be catching you guys the next time you play local. Good luck at the show.

EDIT: Saturday headliner

I'm excited to see you guys play acoustically. I think the last time you guys played acoustic was at the Exit bar last year, but I couldn't make it.
