Sorry Jodi I just couldnt contain myself! If you had any idea how pumped I am, then you would understand! Plus I just put the clues out there the bands gave away the secrets not me.

Anyone remember that Soundgarded song RUSTY CAGE? Never a huge SG fan, but that one was a rocker!

lol, I found out before other people posted it(cough bob!) and ruined it for others...and I just grabbed a CD and I might be making a trip to KC
This is from our Myspace blog:
CAGE, SEVENTH CALLING & PHANTOM-X confirmed for first day of KCPMF!
Hello metalheads!
Because of the overwhelming response we’ve received from bands and fans alike, we’ve decided to make Kansas City Power Metal Fest a two-day festival. Thank you all for your support and encouragement! We will fight the good fight to prove that true metal has a home in Kansas City!
We are also very pleased to announce that San Diego’s CAGE will be headlining the first night of KCPMF on Friday, August 8th! Also confirmed for Friday’s show are Minnesota’s SEVENTH CALLING and PHANTOM-X from Dallas, TX!
CAGE is well known to those following the American true metal scene, headlining metal festivals around the world and making fans by sticking to the roots of traditional heavy metal. Their 2007 album Hell Destroyer was released to rave reviews, including a 9/10 score at Blabbermouth.net.
SEVENTH CALLING, Minneapolis’ practitioners of the heavy metal faith, are touring with CAGE throughout the summer, stopping at many festivals along the way. The band is also signed to Melissa Records, the same label that Kansas City’s own ANCIENT CREATION has recently joined!
PHANTOM-X are definitely no strangers to the metal scene. This Texas group features in its ranks OMEN vocalist Kevin Goocher, who is also appearing on VH1’s "I Know My Kid’s a Star," hosted by Danny Bonaduce! Check out this metal machine at their Myspace page!

I totally agree. Great to see True Metal fest getting going in these parts. With both The Kansas Fest with Cage and the Heathen Crusade. There are 2 great fest too look forward to now.

Actually we've talked to Helstar...not sure if it'll happen, though. If not this year, then hopefully next year.

great job at booking true metal. Glad to see someone giving lesser known US bands a chance.

We had Helstar at the Minneapolis Mayhem. Did not draw at all.

To be honest I dont know how well any of the bands that are booked will draw. I am just hoping people will show up for the Metal Fest atmosphere since KC hasnt had something like this in FOREVER. I plan on street teaming the FUCK out of this fest, it has to succeed or at least not lose that much money the first year.
