Progressive Nation 2009 (Europe/UK)

Opeth/Enslaved > Opeth/DT unless you're crazy for shredding

Zappa plays Zappa is really good.

So is Pain of Salvation. I just wish that Beardfish would be replaced by Bigelf.

 

[Korlich]

If they play in Denmark I´ll prolly go.

I went to Wacken in 2008, but seeing Unexpect play for a mere 30 people topped it by far. Those guys are amazing. Im looking forward to seeing them play for 3000

I checked them on myspace - OMG! Now that's extraordinary. Well, I don't like DT but would go for Opeth and Unexpect. Hopefully they'll come in the neighbourhood

 

[Nasty-Fire]

Oh my fucking god, I hate the progressive nations tour! They never come to Canada. Damn! uneXpect + Opeth (and Dream Theater...), how can I miss that!? ... huh, uneXpect is not progressive, but ANYWAY! Recently saw them playing in a little bar, these are the bests shows. Crowd = like, less than 75 .

 

[Nailed Reaper]

Dream Theater already has 10-th June planned as a headline gig in Moscow, so I doubt that it could be one of the dates of Progressive Nation... I wish it would. To see Opeth thrice for four months - it's just beyond any dreams.

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

^ I certainly would be.

I hope they come to scandinavia. Anywhere within Scandinavia, and I'll go. No matter what. I turn 18 in october, so hopefully I'll be able to go after that ^^

I've seen DT twice (third time will be this june) and Opeth once, so I really have to watch Opeth again. They're my two all time favorite bands, so It's self explanatory that I'll go I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW

Me to. I am in St.Petersburg from the 1st to the 7th, and either they have to come there in between or come to Norway afterwards.

And when this thread will turn into a "Dream Theater bashing" thread?
Sorry for the offtopic.
