With 7 months until Progpower, what are you most looking forward to?

[TwizstedJesus]

With ProgPower almost 6 months away, I've recently gone back and reviewed the fest & the bands. I'm in the process of digesting some of the music I am unfamiliar with and forming some opinions.

Which bands have you become more familiar with and which bands are on your "can't wait to see" lists?

Of the bands that I was unfamiliar with or not a fan of, I am most looking forward to;
1. Freedom Call
2. Savage Messiah
3. Green Carnation

Of all of the bands appearing at ProgPower this year, I'm most interested in;
1. Fates Warning
2. Ascendia
3. Blind Guardian
4. Haken
5. Circus Maximus

Why does it have to be so long until September?
