Friday:

The Dust Connection
I think Martijn & co are good enough to play PP. And I can't think of a better local band to open the festival.

Leprous
These guys are seriously great. Wish I could have seen them on The Rock in Denmark a month ago.

Katatonia
New album out soon. I love them but I actually didn't like their live performance att PP a few years ago that much. I think the deserves a new chance.

Saturday:

Orenda
France. Started as a Dream Theater cover band, but have now released their own material... and it's good. Would love to see them att PP:

Proghma-C
As usual we need something from Poland and I trust wojtekk on this. Even if I think the band name sucks :)

Pure Reason Revolution
Unfortunately they had to cancel 2 years ago. Don't know if that made René angry, but I love them. Seen them live 2 times and it's magic. Try to get them again.

Ghost Brigade
Same as for PPR. They were supposed to play two years ago, so I got their album and it's awesome. Give them another chance please.

Atrox
Well, these guys kicked butt so much last year so they should get their fat asses back to the netherlands soon. One of the best PP gigs ever. Let them play again!

Enchant
I have never got the chance to see them live, bit I have heard they should be awesome. Would love to see them headline one day at PP Europe.
I could also live with Guilt Machine or Arjen Lucassen in any form, but I doubt that will happen.

Sunday

TesseracT
Just heard some MySpace-clips but this is a band I want to hear more from.
If they can't make it I would go for Forgotten Suns from Portugal.

Pantommind
This is a band I have expected to see at the PP bill for a few years. They have released two fantastic albums and it's really time for PP.

The Murder of My Sweet
The new band of Daniel Flores from Mind's Eye. I really like the music and we need more chicks at PP :)

Sylvan
I just love this band and I know many others in the "PP family" that does. I have wished for them for many years and I will keep wishing.

Sabaton
Well, they may not exactly be prog, but they kick ass, especially live. It can't be any more party than this. I think many of you would be surprised, in a positive way.

Devin Townsend
Nuff said!
 
Here's mine (probably too experimental, modern and loud):

Friday:

Silent Stream Of Godless Elegy
Undervalued band from Czech Republic, also one of the rare female fronted bands that I like.

Circus Maximus
Maybe not very original, but the quality of their music is excellent.

Redemption
One of the best "traditional" progressive metal bands around, should play at Prog Power at least once.

Saturday:

No Made Sense
Incredibly talented British band that combines postcore with Tool-influenced song structures. Could be really impressive.

This Or The Apocalypse
Metalcore at Prog Power? If they can play like this band, I don't see the problem.

Novembre
These Italians perfectly combine progressive death metal with melancholical atmospheres.

Protest The Hero
Young band that brings mathcore and progressive metal together in a highly impressive way. Highly impressive musicians too.

Cult of Luna
Simply the best postcore band in the world and known for their superb, intense live shows.

Zero Hour
Zero Hour just kills.

Sunday:

Benea Reach
Meshuggah goes screamo in an atmospheric way!

Baroness
Lots of groove meet 70's prog and raw vocals. Baroness rocks.

Ghost Brigade
Should've been there two years ago, definitely talented enough for a second chance.

The Old Dead Tree
The first of many French bands I started loving. Intense and emotional, great live band.

Coheed And Cambria
The Rush of 21st century with incredibly catchy songs.

Gojira
Progressive death metal machine.
 
Katatonia
New album out soon. I love them but I actually didn't like their live performance att PP a few years ago that much. I think the deserves a new chance.

I already gave Katatonia three chances myself. After the last two, it tooks me years to like their albums again, so please don't spoil my refound Katatonia-fan with one of their live shows:mad:
 
Sabaton
Well, they may not exactly be prog, but they kick ass, especially live. It can't be any more party than this. I think many of you would be surprised, in a positive way.
I saw these guys at Graspop and I can totally why so many people seem to love their music (battle-castle-dragon-knights-power metal). Personally I am completely untouched by these battle hymnes.:erk:


Devin Townsend
Nuff said!
I second that :kickass::headbang::worship:
 
Bands like Sabaton are good to have though. You can't see all the gigs, so Sabaton would be an excellent break to rest your legs and ears outside or in the basement.
 
Hi
