Paganfest USA 2009: Bands announced!

[Perditions Ghost]

Primordial
Eluveitie
Moonsorrow
Blackguard (formerly Profugus Mortis)

The first date of this unique trek has been exclusively revealed on the PaganFest USA MySpace (www.myspace.com/paganfestusa) as May 5, 2009 at Chicago's Powerfest. Details and ticket purchase links for PaganFest USA: Part 2 will be updated on the official MySpace page as they come in so please keep checking back often.


Moonsorrow and Primordial! I can't wait! Here's hoping any sort of New England date isn't tacked onto NEMHF again, though.

That's a great lineup!

We couldn't attend Heathen Crusade III, so we missed seeing Moonsorrow. And I've wanted to see Primordial for a long time. I'm not sure what Eluveitie will be with the Brothers Kirder. But it may be worth a look-see.

I've never heard of Blackguard (formerly Profugus Mortis), however. I have some Web surfing to do.

Thanks for the heads up!

[MetalNations]

Can not wait to see Primordial again. Great guys.

 

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

This is will be great! I cant wait to see Moonsorrow, but I would have thought that they were bigger then Primordial appaerantly not

 

[Diabolik]

Eluvietie without the brothers are kinda dull. Saw them on the kataklysm and they were still a great live band but not as exciting. I am excited for the Paganfest 2 but not thrilled with the choices. Would been much happier with Equilibrum and Korpiklanni. I like Primordial and Moonsorrow but there are lots of better choices out there.

 

[Perditions Ghost]

Profugus Mortis/Blackguard on myspace. Apparently the name-change to Blackguard is really recent - even their Myspace doesn't reflect it yet, though the url does?

They're pretty good. Going to be a great opener for next year.

I'm surprised also about Primordial headlining over Moonsorrow (never mind Eluveitie being over Moonsorrow), but I'm not complaining! This is going to rule!

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

I'm kinda bummed a bit. I thought UNLEASHED was supposed to be on this tour.

 

[The Invisible Guest]

It's all about Primordial for me. They are one of the few bands out there that I am really excited to see live.

Just so everyone knows its May 7th not May 5th like what is stated in the initial post.

 

[Joe-×]

I refuse to go. I'm afraid that the bands will preach their wyrd to me and try to convert me.

Metal + Woden = Chocolate + Broken Glass

 

[dcowboys311]

Holy hell yes!

 

[War Ensemble]

Metal + Woden = Hammer + Broken Glass

Fixed.

 

[Savage Pumpkin]

yuck! Nothing for me!

 

[kellsco]

Nice!!! Come on New Mexico dates!

 

[See You In Hell]

Looking forward to this!! But I will also echo the Moonsorrow sentiments -- I thought Moonsorrow would have a better slot on the bill. Still a little Moonsorrow is better than none! Glad to see Eluveitie got a good slot as I do enjoy their live show immensely although it is not as engaging without "the brothers".

I really hope that the lineup order gets changed, and Moonsorrow gets put above Eluveitie.

 

[GameFreac]

Ok so when I first saw this, I was like uhhh.....cool.

Last year's line-up was amazing and it was the best concert and best day of my entire life.

2009's is good, but it's not as epic as I thought it would be.

I have been trying to get into Primordial but I just can't for some reason. I have the Gathering Wilderness and To the Nameless Dead. Are their other cd's better or am I just missing something?

And Eluveitie is above Moonsorrow. That's just plain retarded. As much as I love Eluveitie, I don't think they should be back. I've already seen them twice and they need to give other bands a chance. Wintersun, Korpiklaani, Finsterforst, Equilibrium, Kalmah.....seriously. We don't need Eluveitie again. And they probably won't play The Song of Life anyways. They never do.

I haven't heard Blackguard so I'll have to check them out.

I'm still going but Paganfest 1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Paganfest 2 imo.

 

[Pellaz]

I am excited for the Paganfest 2 but not thrilled with the choices. Would been much happier with Equilibrum and Korpiklanni. I like Primordial and Moonsorrow but there are lots of better choices out there.

I'm really happy to be seeing Primordial and Moonsorrow (I'm assuming there will be an Atlanta date, since the last show here did pretty well), but....yeah. Equilibrium and Korpiklaani (along with Eluveitie) would have made this an easy no-brainer.

 

[Cheiron]

I'm only disappointed with Eluveite. And only because I'd rather see a paganmetal band that I haven't seen yet (or twice for that matter). Good, fun band though. Seems like a cool lineup. I don't know much about the opener.

 

[General Zod]

I like Primordial and Moonsorrow but there are lots of better choices out there.

This just may be the most incorrect statement in the history of the interwebs.

I shall drink to your wrongness.
