Powerfest '09

If you're going, we should me up there. I originally planned to book this week, but I finally heard back from someone who was interested and now I'm pushing it back for about three weeks.

I probably wont know until the like the week of the show if I can go. My job right now is just not pulling in enough loot.
 
I am gonna try and formulate a semi-decent lineup though I will probably get flamed. I am also aware that there is more then likely too many bands from across the pond, but I think I put together some solid lineups.

Fri:
Entombed/King Diamond
Brainstorm/Dream Evil/Jag Panzer
Agalloch/Devin Townsend/Mercenary
Daylight Dies/Zimmer's Hole/Silent Force
Kiuas/War Machine
Visideon/Mindwarp Chamber

Saturday:
Blind Guardian (special set to get out of towners)
Borknagar/Vintersorg/Royal Hunt
Arsis (since they never get more then 30 minutes)/Heaven Shall Burn
Woods of Ypres/Power Quest
Persefone/Augury
Order Of Nine/Widow

Out of your list I'd LOVE to see Agalloch, (Didn't we mention them for last year?) Devin Townsend, Mercenary, Zimmer's Hole, War Machine, Mindwarp Chamber, Arsis, (yes , yes!) and Widow.

Nicely done!

Welcome my lil bro to UltimateMetal!! He has some good picks, but also some that wont work as well like Arch Enemy tours pretty regularly. A good pick I didnt think about was Rage or Adagio.

emperor and celtic frost would be very VERY hard. and unlikely.

Seen Sonata Arctica, but wouldn't mind seeing them again. Battlelore's a real good one.
