They are one of the headliners so a full headliner set, tho Nightwish is the main band that night so they might wind up playing a little longer than SyX.

I doubt it, the closing band usually gets the longer set. Glenn is pretty strict with the schedules and Nightwish has a show the next day in Montreal, so they are going to play and get on the road.

The headlining bands are both the 4 and 5 slots, and there's very little difference between their set times. The actual closing band maybe gets a bit longer just because there's no one after them and they can encore a bit longer if they choose, but if drunken memory serves me, all 4 headliners get roughly 1:30 of stage time.

Yeah but the same thing happened last year with Blind Guardian and Pain of Salvation. BG got to do some encore songs and PoS couldn't since they were out of time. This was because BG was *supposed* to close but they requested 4th slot since they had to get on an early flight the next day. Same thing with Nightwish, they were supposed to go on after SymX but requested 4th slot because of an early flight. So I can only assume that Nightwish will have a slightly longer set than SymX.
 
Hey Lady of the Oracle...do you have contact with the band at all? If so...how about requesting they play Edge of Forever again for Progpower...and maybe A Winters Dream pts 1 and 2 from Damnation Game. I would love for them to pull out some of the rare stuff for PP4.
