Too soon for predictions/requests for PPUSA 18?

I would really like to see Dynazty get another shot after the VISA fiasco last year..

not going to do full roster predictions but some bands I think that have a shot at being in Atlanta in 2017:

Almanac (because David Readman)
Innerwish
Eternity's End
Sunburst
Twilight Force (definitely a Nathan pick lol)
Universal Mind Project

and as much as i love em I'll never fully support these guys until the play Atlanta...Powerwolf
 
My wishlist is now becoming sort of a "another chance" list.

Anubis Gate
Borealis
Disperse
Dream Evil
Dynazty
Freak Kitchen
Myrath
Nightingale
Novembers Doom
Persefone
Primal Fear
Secret Sphere
Shattered Skies
Teramaze

and plus:

Hibria

I know that's too many bands but those are the ones I'd like to see at some point.

I want Mercenary to come back. I want Equilibrium as a curve ball band, and I want to see Mago De Oz as a headliner. :)

Oh and I've heard some of the Rough Cuts of Seven Kingdoms and wouldn't be sad to see them get a shot at the big stage with the new stuff at some point.
 
Combined wish list and some real contenders: Thank You Scientist, Redemption, Headspace, Threshold, Imminent Sonic Destruction, Evergrey, James LaBrie, Appearance of Nothing, Epysode, Beyond the Bridge, Kingcrow, A Sound of Thunder, Poverty's No Crime, Avantasia, and Savatage!
 
I don't know if the band Domine has ever played PPUSA or not but they would be a good addition I think.
