PROGPOWER USA VI SELLS OUT IN RECORD THREE DAYS


ATLANTA – ProgPower USA VI has officially sold out just three days after
tickets went on sale to the general public.

“I don't think my attendees realize how truly grateful I am for their
continued loyalty and support,” said promoter Glenn Harveston. “This is the
fourth consecutive sell-out thanks to them. I don't think anyone had a clue
that tickets would move so fast this year. My heartfelt thanks to the
public for allowing me to continue with what I believe is the best concert
experience in North America.”

This year’s stellar lineup will host Angra, Conception, Orphaned Land,
Circus Maximus, and Manticora on Friday, September 16. The festival’s
second night, Saturday, September 17, will feature Stratovarius, Therion,
Pink Cream 69, Symphorce, and Stride.

ProgPower be held at Earthlink Live in Atlanta. Doors are scheduled to open
at 4:30 p.m. on both days.

A ProgPower USA VI Pre-Show Party will be held Thursday night at The Loft.
After a great experience performing at last year’s ProgPower, Germany’s
Dreamscape is returning to headline the pre-party. Orphaned Land will
perform an acoustic set with material different from their Friday set.
Avian, featuring Lance King (ex-Balance of Power, Pyramaze) on vocals, and
Outworld, featuring guitar virtuoso Rusty Cooley, will also perform. Ticket
information for the pre-party will be released in the coming weeks.

ProgPower USA is one of America’s most highly praised festivals. There is
currently a three-year wait on the Gold Badge waiting list. Last year
ProgPower USA drew fans from 32 states and 12 counties including Japan and
Australia.

ProgPower USA is sponsored by Pacific Drums, Sabian Cymbals, Shure
Microphones, Planet Waves Gear, J.’Addario Strings, and Evans Drumheads.

Earthlink Live is located at 1375 Peachtree Street NW in Atlanta.

Fuck yeah!

Good for you, Glenn! You deserve to toot your own horn! Very tastefully done, but yet promotional (at the same time), press release...

Rock on!

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

Hello, Glenn. Why are you thanking us? THANK YOU for doing this for us! See you in September.

 

[Anthony3]

Great job Glenn. Now its time for you to put on a massive open air festival. That would be great.

 

[Curufin]

You left out the 'R' in countries!

 

[Bryan316]

Okay.

I'm gonna need measurements from you, Glenn.

I'm gettin you a PIMP outfit made for you. Cuz when you come out on stage the second night to do the whole "Here's my road crew, here's the people who help me" speech, you're gonna need a bright blue and silver fur trench coat, with goldfish aquarium platforms, a diamond belt buckle that spins, a 7 foot wide blue/silver zebrastriped hat, a cane that has its own lights smoke and pyro and stage backdrop, and more bling bling than Tommy Lee and P. Diddy combined!!!

And matching Playboy Playmates on each arm.

And a five gallon Absopure bottle with a Jack Daniels label on the side.

With matching J.D. inside!

Grand Masta Bigg G. Da Metal Harvesta! *SHO NUFF!*

 

[MysticX9]

[Met-Al]

Congratulations, Glenn!
The combination of your hard work and professionalism, the caliber of bands you book, and the support of the fans should ensure you continued and growing success for as long as you want to keep this festival going. At this rate, I'll be looking forward to banging my head at ProgPower 70! Of course, I'll be 88....


Stay metal. Never rust.
Met-Al
