Okay, I looked it up and was unfamiliar with that project. But the only way I think it would be headliner-able, is if it has high profile singers to be there, and people would still be wanting to hear Ayreon material.

Arjen Lucassen/Ayreon side-project that was pretty much Ayreon and actually involved a tour.

Well, but honestly we're talking about "normal" bands, not super projects. At least that's what I meant.

So from MY stand point Glenn will have us back next year regardless, but any of these would sweeten the deal

Oh- and to edit, I accadentally put rhapsody in the other list

I agree regarding Hibria, the band is amazing and their two discs are fantastic. Steel Lord on Wheels is still one of the best true heavy metal songs there'll ever be! I just don't think they could be considered headliner caliber yet. Maybe in the future, we'll see how their career goes.

I'm all for bringing Hibria to ProgPower though!!!

Hey Killingfield, Seikima II is playing Project A-kon in Dallas June 4-6. I know because a group that I am affiliated with is bringing them here

If you can make it, it will be a badass show.

Ja

I don't know about that. They did great but played 45 minutes of material. They only have two albums, their most recent one only being 35 minutes in length so there isn't a whole lot more for them to play.

Now, as far as Devin Townsend is concerned, that's a different story. I would sell my soul to see him headline ProgPower.

To all of these. I DO think Mob Rules will make it - I still prya and sacrifice small animals (and people that annoy me) in the hopes of seeing Saxon headline and Wolf would be a blast

Appreciate the insights Glenn, always interesting to know what goes on behind the curtain.

Cheers

booB · February 9th, 2010, 10:46 AM

Since this seems to have devolved into an "I want this band!!!!" thread, which is something I am actually qualified to have an opinion on (sort of

), I'll start by saying that I refuse to stop flying the Morgana Lefay flag, even though they seem to be on hiatus right now.

Other than them:

Inmoria
Chaoswave
Fool's Game
Antithesis
Dark Arena
Jag Panzer
Kiuas
Memory Garden
Symphorce
Pharaoh
Anacrusis (if Paradox goes over well this year)

As previously noted, would love to see Arjen Lucassen do something. You could consider having him blend Star One and Ayreon to basically get two "bands" and maybe even give him a longer set as a result. Assuming all the guest vocalists, it would make for a killer performance and might even cost you less money than two separate bands.

Edu_ · February 9th, 2010, 11:31 AM

Mago de Oz!

Osiris' Eyes · February 9th, 2010, 11:53 AM

Here are my 2 Kroners...

To-Mera
Dream Evil
Dark Illusion
Heavenly
Dark Moor
Wuthering Heights
Falconer
Masterplan
Anathema
Tiamat
Dragonland
Brother Firetribe
Adagio (missed them first time through)
Axenstar
Masquerage
Triospshere
Wolf

ConnieOH · February 9th, 2010, 11:53 AM

Thanks for the insight into the process, Glenn. It's always interesting to read.

As for band, I'd love to see PATHOSRAY back again.

Not sure how they'd go over with the PP crowd, but would love to see INSOMNIUM as well.

Kazi · February 9th, 2010, 12:57 PM

To reiterate a few bands previously mentioned:

Seeing Equilibrium play Prog Power would be absolutely amazing
Dark Moor
Kiuas
Pathosray
Mago de Oz (I would be really surprised to see them at PP, but I can always hope)
Angra
Heavenly
Falconer
Insomnium
Therion

Other bands I would like to see:

Freedom Call
Crystal Eyes
Avalanch, Tierra Santa, WarCry, Saurom
Amorphis
Fairyland
Crimfall

No Username · February 9th, 2010, 12:58 PM

It is a damn crime that nobody has mentioned SABATON.

Especially after Glenn said in front of 1,000 witnesses that they would come back in a future show.

Wasn't sure if I was going to have to come in here and do it myself!

Also, I agree with Inmoria. They'd be wicked awesome to see, but I'd prefer to finally see Morgana Lefay.

keifling · February 9th, 2010, 06:11 PM

In alphabetical order:
*means priority booking!

Anubis Gate
Brave
Conorach
Crown of Glory
Cryonic Temple
*Dark Moor
Echoterra
Eyefear
*Fairyland
Freedom Call
*Insania -Stockholm
Olympos Mons
Reinxeed -(if he can play live)

djjello · February 9th, 2010, 07:55 PM

Glenn, I never post but I have to this one time - how about 1) Silent Memorial 2) Tomorrow's Eve (worth another shot) and 3) Serenity. This will be my 5th year in attendance, so maybe my vote will be heard!! If not, we definitely need Freak Kitchen back again. We can only go so long without FK gracing our stage. Thanks.

Purveyor Of Evil · February 9th, 2010, 08:08 PM

Gamma Ray - Saturday Headliner
Therion - Friday Headliner

Gamma Ray and Therion are my "must-haves" for next year.

I'd love to see in no particular order sooner rather than later at Progpower:

Dream Evil
Mystic Prophecy
Grave Digger
Dark Moor
Blaze Bayley
Axel Rudi Pell
Biomechanical
Falconer
Mob Rules
Masterplan
Unisonic
Scar Symmetry
Annihilator
Nevermore

GoRillaBoy76 · February 9th, 2010, 09:09 PM

Props to Lance for mentioning Delta

OK while we are at this I might as put the ultimate "Glenn, Shane, and the rest of the crew have bottomless pockets and they make the most kick ass fest ever line-up"

Wed.
Krucible
Halcyon Way
Heavy metal quartet featuring Ralph Scheepers, Zac Stevens, Matt Barlow, and Lance King. With Freak Kitchen as a the backing band.

Thu.
Narnia
Pyramaze (all 3 vocalist)
Primal Fear
Blind Gaurdian

Fri.
Cage
Alkemyst
Sun Caged
Cain's Offering
Evergrey
Iced Earth

Sat.
Axenstar
Venturia
Dreamscape
Mercenary
Nightwish
Demons and Wizards

I think the awsomeness of this line up might actually end time itself

(oh and free bar for everyone)

Bring On Vanden Plas and Stratovarius and I am definitely there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My love affair with Stratovarius has faded over the years, and that makes me sad, they were one of the bands that got me into Power Metal. I own every album they have put out, and i can not bring myself to get Polaris. Maybe I need to see them live to fall back in love with them.
