Thanks, Ian...I was just getting ready to post the same thing.

Tickets will be $15 in advance and $20 day of show (not available for sale yet). We're also considering a pre-show "party" to feature other national and touring bands, but that's still in the works.

Check www.kcpmf.com for updates.

Looks like a couple of bands that have been confirmed are speaking out a little early on their myspaces see if you can find them.

Let me just say that I am ULTRA FUCKING STOKED!!

Well I think I know one of them, and definitely a strong addition to the line-up. Shaping up to be an awesome event.

Here's news from KCPMF's Myspace page:

CAGE, SEVENTH CALLING & PHANTOM-X confirmed for first day of KCPMF!

Hello metalheads!

Because of the overwhelming response we’ve received from bands and fans alike, we’ve decided to make Kansas City Power Metal Fest a two-day festival. Thank you all for your support and encouragement! We will fight the good fight to prove that true metal has a home in Kansas City!

We are also very pleased to announce that San Diego’s CAGE will be headlining the first night of KCPMF on Friday, August 8th! Also confirmed for Friday’s show are Minnesota’s SEVENTH CALLING and PHANTOM-X from Dallas, TX!

CAGE is well known to those following the American true metal scene, headlining metal festivals around the world and making fans by sticking to the roots of traditional heavy metal. Their 2007 album Hell Destroyer was released to rave reviews, including a 9/10 score at Blabbermouth.net.

SEVENTH CALLING, Minneapolis’ practitioners of the heavy metal faith, are touring with CAGE throughout the summer, stopping at many festivals along the way. The band is also signed to Melissa Records, the same label that Kansas City’s own ANCIENT CREATION has recently joined!

PHANTOM-X are definitely no strangers to the metal scene. This Texas group features in its ranks OMEN vocalist Kevin Goocher, who is also appearing on VH1’s "I Know My Kid’s a Star," hosted by Danny Bonaduce! The band also recently signed to TinselTone Records.

I'm really looking forward to the whole event. Its going to be an awesome time and I can't wait.

So this is in August? I have to see what else pans out (I know Mexico & England in the near future - as well as ProgPower) - but KC is probably as close as I can get to some decent Metal (since everyone avoids Colorado).

Good work on setting this up - hope it works out great.
