what band are you most looking forward to at PPXI

I have been an Accept fan since 1985. The Blood of the Nations release is also challenging the latest Vanden Plas for release of the year for me as well. They are definitely THE band I am most interested in seeing.
I am also looking forward to Illusion Suite (excellent guitarist,) Tarot and Seventh Wonder.

if i had to pick one i would say Nocturnal Rites, but it just is not like last year, where I was REALLY stoked about seeing Sabaton, I just dont have that feeling this year

I have similar sentiments. There's not ONE band that just seems to stand head and shoulders above the rest in the "getting me hyped up" department. There's about half of them I'm really interested in seeing and the rest are just gravy but no one particular zomg gotta be up front for their whole set kinda thing.
 
Delain.

Being a huge Nightwish fan, I'm very excited about Tarot as well (and all the Marco-Delain duets being performed live, I hope!). Thrilled to be seeing Kamelot live in concert at last as well!
