TESTAMENT CONFIRMED FOR CHICAGO POWERFEST 2008

Thrash legends TESTAMENT have just been confirmed for Chicago Powerfest 2008, set to take place on May 1-3 at The Pearl Room in Mokena, IL. Testament, who's current lineup includes original members Chuck Billy, Alex Skolnick, Eric Peterson, and Greg Christian along with recently recruited Paul Bostaph, will also be performing in support of their new album, "The Formation of Damnation", due for release in North America on April 29, 2008.

Commented festival organizers, CRJ Productions: "The news came just in time for Christmas, and made the holidays that much better for us considering how long we've been trying to make this happen! It's been several years since the Legion has pummeled a Chicago area venue and we're all very hungry to see them do it once again! Their last Chicago area headlining performance was in 1999...although, it's been much longer since they've played here with Alex Skolnick, so this should give Midwest fans something to get really excited about."

More updates, including ticket information coming soon. For current details regarding Powerfest, please visit www.ChicagoPowerfest.com or www.myspace.com/chicagopowerfest
 
Awesome news - this very well may be what makes my ass drive down from the Northern burbs this year, assuming I'm in town that weekend!

Kudos guys - landing Testament is huge!
