Looking at the possibilities flying around, I have to admit I would be disappointed by the following:

Symphony X
Iced Earth
Nightwish
Angra
Kamelot
Edguy

Why? Because all of those are been there / done thats or bands who are easy to see anyway. I imagine Iced Earth will tour pretty heavily for Framing Armageddon soon, SX has just been around, Angra's already done it twice, etc.

Mind you, being disappointed in an announcement doesn't equate to not enjoying the show. Any disappointment would be more about who is *not* being announced in the case of one or more of the above.

I'd rather have a name band that is not easy to see in the States otherwise. Like Grave Digger! Or Rhapsody, Ayreon, Dark Moor, Candlemass (oops, how'd that get there?!), Saxon? Helloween would work, too. They have toured some here, but not like Edguy or Symphony X lately.
