Just my guess.

 

[Harvester]

See my reply to the same assumption in the Hellish Rock thread.

 

[YtseJammer]

Circus Maximus
Pagan's Mind
Sabaton

 

[mattbrood]

Circus Maximus
Pagan's Mind
Jorn

Fixed

 

[Azrael LenGraden]

Circus Maximus
Pagans Mind
Edguy

Edguy being the band that Glenn was surprised to hear from. The reason he would be surprised is because he would have believed them to not have a need to play PP because they tour the US regularly.

you guys, Circus Maximus is not headline material. Outside of my friends that I've introduced to them and people on this forum I've not heard a damn thing about Circus Maximus from anyone. You can't go into FYE and buy their albums. They don't have nearly the exposure that other headliners that have played PPUSA have like Kamelot, Nightwish, Evergrey, Symphony X etc have.

Not to mention they only have 3 albums.

From everything I've heard (and saw at their stop in San Diego/San Marcos), their last tour wasn't exactly a rousing success, and the fact that we haven't seen any sign of them in North America for "Age of the Joker" indicates that they may not be interested in playing to 75 people/night here. If anything, I wouldn't be surprised to some them do a limited tour with PPUSA as the anchor point - perhaps a couple Canadian dates, NY, Worcester, VA/MD, Atlanta, then fly out to LA if they think it makes financial sense.

I am going to say

Masterplan
Circus Maximus
Within Temptation

Bear

 

[TribunalRecords]

I have to disagree, Circus Maximus could easily be the first of three headliners. They have plenty of material and amongst the PP crowd they are adored. Would totally work in my book. Hope it happens would love to see them again.

 

[nightwish58]

Threshold!
Oliva (In some shape or form)
Sabaton

 

[templeofmax]

THRESHOLD
SAVATAGE
SAXON

One can only wish I guess!!!!!

 

[Yonfon]

Circus Maximus
Sabaton
Pain of Salvation to end the night.

 

[jem777az]

Within Temptation
Iced Earth
Pagan's Mind

 

[Arabianhazard]

Not to mention they only have 3 albums.

Sanctuary only has two albums.

 

[the rhythm]

Riverside
Sabaton

I'm not sure about the 3rd.

 

[No Username]

Within Temptation
Iced Earth
Pagan's Mind

Within Temptation won't answer the phone for Glenn...Iced Earth? A headliner that would get me out of the venue early...Pagan's? Love em! Headliners? mmm...

Maybe:
Pagan's
John Oliva
Evergrey--and I say Evergrey ONLY if this is the absolute LAST ProgPower. I also think Evergrey is the surprise band because people might think they are tired of playing this venue...

EDIT:
Edgay IMO is pure cheese Scorpion cover band...no thanks.

You're correct in that WT hasn't answered the phone in the past, but Glenn did say it surprised the hell out of him when a certain band contacted him. That's why I picked WT. It'd be your loss if you left during IE, I know a lot of folks (myself included) would love to see them with Stu. And yes I agree that PM would kick all kinds of major ass just like they always have in the past.

If Stu is the guy who toured with them earlier this year, then I have already seen IE with Stu. So, for me it would be a repeat.

 

[pack1fan4life]

I have no idea, but I want to see Vanden Plas live someday, so I hope they are on the roster! (Not headlining material, though)
