That is so stellar.

Nope, it's not weird at all. Delta can be amazingly greedy when there isn't someone else (AirTran, AA, Continental) to keep 'em honest.

Those ticket prices to Denmark sound really good. This lineup is really tempting me and will doubtless only get better, but I'm fairly sure I can't afford it.

Yeah, when I checked, Delta was starting at 760 from Atlanta. We'll see how much it will be, after I pay off my travel card.

Hey, can we get a group discount?

Damn, oh well can't fault me for wishing, but I can see the point, there would be no tickets for us coming from the USA. Plus I am sure that VOLBEAT is going to gather up a hell of a lot of new fans when they play PPUSA.

Kilt! Kilt! Kilt! Kilt! Kilt! Kilt!

I really like this band as long as they don't do the "longing for the woods" song.

MEGALOUD · February 17th, 2008, 03:45 PM

FANTASTIC, many of my favorite Scandinavian bands.....

Friday February 22nd 2008:

It's about time to start announcing the headliners and co-headliner for PP Scan '08:

Pain Of Salvation from Sweden doesn't really need any presentation. The Eskilstuna band is undoubtedly the premiere band for a ProgPower festival, having played at both PP Holland and PP USA, not to mention several gigs here in Copenhagen over the years. With vocalist Daniel Gildenlöw in front, a man not only being a "hard rock vocalist", but also an entertainer, storyteller and a man with something at heart, Pain Of Salvation is the perfect headliner for our festival and has therefore been chosen as that to make sure the crowd will leave the party with a big smile on their lips when the show is over Saturday November 1st 2008.

www.painofsalvation.com

Pagan's Mind, Norway's leading progressive metal band is hereby booked for ProgPower Scandinavia 2008. Eventhough Norway has brought us many great prog acts in the last decade, Pagan's Mind have made that difference which has brought them worldwide recognition within only 4 albums under their belt. The last disc, "God's Equation" has received praise from the media everywhere, and with a bunch of tours and festival shows in the backpack, Pagan's Mind will undoubtedly make The Rock and PP Scan '08 steaming, as they enter the stage as fourth band of the evening, Friday October 31st.
