I'd much rather see Luca Turilli do his solo stuff, especially Kings of the Nordic Twilight.

Rhapsody has declined in awesomeness last few albums, but I still think they would put on the best live preformance I would ever see from a band

That's my reasoning as well. They're one of the few bands I think are truly big enough to headline the festival. If Glenn has JoP in a slot below headlining, I'm sure he's not messing around when he says there will be no controversy on the status of the headliners.

Heh. Or maybe he changed his mind on Manowar.... then again... maybe not.

I think that Edguy will be the other returning band. I heard from one of the members of Echoes of Eternity that they are coming through here next year with EoE and Into Eternity.

Is there only about 10 bands that fill the bill for a headliner spot?
I keep hearing about the same people when I read threads concerning band wishlists.

It would be great if someone stepped outside the box and threw out a name that would make sense, yet has not been discussed a million times.

Earlier in the thread, one person mentioned Brainstorm. Considering the history of the band at PP, it makes sense for them to headline.

To me, none of the other mentions in this thread would get me to stay for the last set--exception, Symphony X. Problem is, it seems that there IS controversy about SymphX, at least among some of the complainers.

I would love to hear a new name tossed out there that makes sense as a headliner.

Yeah I'm guessing because it was a "Heart of Everything" tour plus the fact that they probably didn't know so many Americans would know the words to their songs, they left out the older material. They played a bunch from "Mother Earth" though. I was not expecting their show to be so heavy, but it amazed me.

Fine.

You can't be serious about Freedom Call. This is by far the most offensive thing I've ever seen in this forum.
