This from Jon at PPUK
Hi All,
Just a quick update on what’s happening over at ProgPower UK central (the new website will be online this week) and tickets will be on sale 1.07.2006.
We can confirm that ProgPower UK II will take place at the Centaur in Cheltenham on 31.03.2007. We have started preparations already to really build on the success of last year, and we are now in a position to announce the first four confirmed bands – none of whom have played in the UK before!
1. HAGGARD (Ger)
Just about the biggest metal band in the world… Seventeen people on stage, and a fantastic mix of medieval orchestral music and metal, complete with classical instruments and a choir.

2. DREAMSCAPE (Ger)
Accomplished progressive metal band, drawing comparisons to early Dream Theater, but definitely have their own sound and excellent musicianship.

3. SCAR SYMMETRY (Swe)
Melo-death from Sweden, but so much more… Their latest album on Nuclear Blast is getting massive worldwide media attention, and led by the stunning vocal abilities of Christian Älvestam they look set to take the ProgPower UK stage by storm!

Live video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2LTaNb9zQQ
4. CLOUDSCAPE (Swe)
Melodic prog-metal. Brand new album ‘Crimson Skies’ deserves some serious attention, with strong melodies, mature song structures and thought-provoking lyrics. Addictive stuff!
