So, we weren't there to hand in our wishlists for next year in person, but here's mine:

Diablo Swing Orchestra (they were amazing in London at the weekend, one of the best live bands I've seen in a long time)
Aurora Project
Big Elf
Leprous
The Ocean

Keeping the list short & sweet this year!

ProgressiveLunatic · October 7th, 2009, 05:38 PM

pretty long list, so I thought I'd better divide them into groups...

1.) the big ones:
- Symphony X (don't think they're too big, I'd say Evergrey are bigger since they're more mainstream and less prog

)
- Vanden Plas (new album should be out soon)
- Shadow Gallery (same)
- Redemption (just released their new album and it's killer!)
- Pain of Salvation (new album should be out as well till oct. 2010)
- Riverside & Indukti (they'd make a nice friday with Mariusz Duda performing some Indukti songs and then headlining with Riverside)
- Katatonia (Opeth is obviously too big now

)
- Ark (heard they're back together writing a new album)
- Conception reunion (Khan & Tore Ostby = awesome)
- Kamelot (well, at least Khan

- Deadsoul Tribe (heard rumours they disbanded, so maybe it's time for:
- Psychotic Waltz reunion (now how awesome would that be

)
- Mind's Eye
- Nightingale
- Communic
- Beyond Twilight (not sure if they do live shows at all)
- Dominici

2.)the not so big ones:
- Thought Chamber (most excellent technical prog metal feat. guitarist Michael Harris, bass player and drummer from Haji's Kitchen, Outworld-keyboarder and Ted Leonard from Enchant on vocals!)
- Leprous (excellent mixture of extreme metal and 70s prog but not sounding like Opeth

)
- Forgotten Suns (excellent band from portugal)
- Fragile Vastness (excellent greek band)
- Pantommind (most excellent bulgarian band, bring them along next year, Antonio!!

)
- Twinspirits (Daniele Liveranis new band, about to release their second album The Forbidden City)
- Parallaxe (french instrumental band playing a most excellent LTE sound)
- Thessera (missed them in 2008)
- TesseracT (promising newcomer from the UK, check out their song Concealing Fate pt. 1!)
- Appearance of Nothing (promising swiss newcomers)
- Floodline (a myspace discovery)

3.) some excellent german bands:
- AtmOsfear (just released their second album 'Zenith' on ProgRock records)
- Dreamscape (hopefully back soon with the promised 'Everlight' album)
- SubSignal (with ex-Sieges Even and current Dreamscape members, debut album 'Beautiful & Monstrous' out now)
- Tomorrow's Eve
- Poverty's no Crime
- Ivanhoe
- Transmission
- Dark Suns (maybe with Kristoffer Gildenlöw?!)
- Disillusion
- Panzerballett (just listen to their rendition of the Simpsons theme - with blastbeats, how crazy is that

4.) the dutch connection
- Sun Caged (would love to see them again next year)
- Day Six (new album out soon)

and finally
- Strange Land great band playing a mix of Fates Warning, Rush and King's X!
check them out: Strange Land

thanks for the attention and sorry for the long list...
